We knew decades ago that IF they could get a semi-auto ban to “stick” they would be back for their original target between 1962 and 1984, HANDGUNS. Their prop 15 gun ban bill failed in 1982. Voters REJECTED IT. No gun ban has ever been put before the voters since in California.
Rest assured they will be back for more, and More and MORE.
In 1988 California tried to add LEVER ACTION RIFLES to their AW ban bill that was passed after they released Pat Purdy from a mental institution, allowed him to buy a rifle and hand gun over the counter passing the waiting periods and back ground checks.
Then in 1989 he went and shot up the Stockton School yard killing several students and himself.
The Semi auto ban bill was quickly passed AFTER the lever action ban part was removed.
I remember that.
