I think the M1A is still legal. ARs and AKs have all been banned, with all older guns on registration lists for future confiscation. SKSs also registered for future confiscation.
I still remember when people were honest/stupid enough to register their SKSs only to have them confiscated. The attorney general said it was OK to register the guns after the deadline had passed, then the court said it wasn’t OK, so all those guns were illegal and were subject to confiscation.
Welcome to the People’s Democratic Republic of California where the legal possession and use of a piece of metal and wood can make you a felon. Every single one of these SKSs was purchased legally but only later made subject to registration and then confisction.
Coming to a Hitlery lead nation near you...
I take it the average California citizen, if called up for militia duty, would show up in pretty sadly equipped.
“Every single one of these SKSs was purchased legally but only later made subject to registration and then confisction.”
How about Mosin-Nagants?
just askin’...ie, how far back do you have to go to be legal? then go to store and buy! but that’s just me!
This sounds like obtaining a new firearm suitable for militia duty would be practically impossible for the average citizen.
Think the stupid part far outweighs the "honest". I would feel no compunction about lying to the devil.
