This crap is still working its way through the courts for a century. If the Hellar SCOTUS decision had been in place before the first assault weapons case hit the 9'th circuit it would have ended the California ban and unconstitutional laws. So instead even sense Hellar decision we still wait for relief from the courts.
Welcome to the club Virginia and all you in the other states soon to follow because the Supreme Court fails to get off its ass and end this unconstitutional crap. Connecticut and New York showed nearly 90% noncompliance or greater. The same is true in California. Eve before they went after H-bar type AR15 refiles in California they banned SKS rifles with detachable magazines. There were hundreds of thousands (close to a million nobody knows for sure) of these purchased in California alone and none were turned in.
We had to become creative in California. Either go fixed magazine or featureless configurations. An even better option is the KaliKey which replaces the charge handle and bolt removing the gas tube on the bolt and making it a single shot bolt operated rifle. Takes two seconds to pull the rear receiver pin and change the bolt and charge handle out. In this configuration you can have a standard AR15 and magazines. If the SHTF ever you simply replace the bolt and charge bar to rock and roll.
...and my inlaws all moved from CA in the last 10 years to ID, WY, CO, NV, and TX. My FIL was the last to move, 2 years ago from Ventura County (TO) to CDA, ID. Once he unpacked his guns, and we did inventory, we counted over 1000 years in a CA prison for his collection.
Now he owns Title 2 guns and suppressors I make for him as an 07/02 FFL/SOT.
He also pays 7% state income tax vs 13%.
His 1,200 Sq/ft home in Thousand Oaks got him and MIL a 4 car garage, 4,000 Sq/ft house on 10 acres in ID.
Gas is $2.50/gal.
Car registration is almost zero.
Hunting lisence is CHEAP.
His grocery store uses paper bags.
He uses straws.
Cops leave him alone.
He can say what he wants to and if someone disagrees they all laugh and shake hands.
Who's laughing now?
Great Mod!
Thanks.
