"Machine guns?" I believe she meant .50 caliber rifles and revolvers.

It's worse than that. They baned the bullet [.50 BMG], not the gun. I am positive that .50 cal hand guns are still legal, so are .50 muzzle loaders and other variations of the .50 calibers. It's just he .50 BMG that they, in their infinite wisdom, banned.

Thanks for the info, because I have a .50 cal flintlock muzzle loader and would like to buy a .50 cal revolver.

It is Governor Shriver not Schwarzenegger (it is customary for women to change their last name when they get married), and I now refer to him as the Sodomizer instead of Terminator after SB777. Look for his new childrens book coming soon entitled:

Sodomy for Second Graders by Arnold and the Lost Testicles

.50 BMG rifles are banned. From your link:

Assault Weapons and .50 BMG Rifles
It is a felony for any person to manufacture, distribute, transport, import into California, or keep or
offer for sale, or give or lend, an assault weapon or .50 BMG rifle. (Penal Code § 12280.)
Any person who lawfully possesses an assault weapon or .50 BMG rifle must have registered it as

The .500 S & W Magnum is available for sale in California.
