My Mini-14? Oh No! My .223 Ranch Model?

Currently it's a legal gun in California. Unless I snap on the folding stock, then it's illegal. Or if I use the stock with the pistol grip. Naturally that would be dangerous and illegal. But fear not! It takes over 30 seconds to swap the stock (no tools, too) so you folks are all safe!

Don't worry, I'm very carefull when I change stocks to prevent the gun from leaping up on it's own and shooting anyone. If I turn on NPR while changing stocks, it seems to help. But I occasionally need the increased rate of fire and lethality that a different stock gives a gun. </sarcasm>

When I took the folding / pistol grip stock off my Mini-14 and put the wood stock back on, the muzzle velocity dropped from 3,000fps to under 100fps.

Now I can swat the slugs out of the air like tossed peanuts. Totally harmless.

If these bills pass, you can be arrested and imprisoned for 10 years just for having the folding stock in your posession along with the rifle. You don't have to assemble it.
