[h=3]ARTICLE 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS[/h]
  • 12275. This chapter shall be known as the Roberti-Roos Assault Weapons Control Act of 1989 and the .50 Caliber BMG Regulation Act of 2004.
  • 12275.5. (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the proliferation and use of assault weapons poses a threat to the health, safety, and security of all citizens of this state. The Legislature has restricted the assault weapons specified in Section 12276 based upon finding that each firearm has such a high rate of fire and capacity for firepower that its function as a legitimate sports or recreational firearm is substantially outweighed by the danger that it can be used to kill and injure human beings. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this chapter to place restrictions on the use of assault weapons and to establish a registration and permit procedure for their lawful sale and possession. It is not, however, the intent of the Legislature by this chapter to place restrictions on the use of those weapons which are primarily designed and intended for hunting, target practice, or other legitimate sports or recreational activities.(b) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the proliferation and use of .50 BMG rifles, as defined in Section 12278, poses a clear and present terrorist threat to the health, safety, and security of all residents of, and visitors to, this state, based upon findings that those firearms have such a high capacity for long distance and highly destructive firepower that they pose an unacceptable risk to the death and serious injury of human beings, destruction or serious damage of vital public and private buildings, civilian, police and military vehicles, power generation and transmission facilities, petrochemical production and storage facilities, and transportation infrastructure. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this chapter to place restrictions on the use of these rifles and to establish a registration and permit procedure for their lawful sale and possession.

The Legislature has defined assault weapons as the types, series, and models listed in this section because it was the most effective way to identify and restrict a specific class of semiautomatic weapons.
And there's a whole bunch more but it won't fit so be thank full you don't live in California.
 
We left the DPRK in 1992. It was a relief like passing a log after driving 500 miles nonstop. Visited there last year for family business. Felt like I had left the USA.
 
Au contraire mon frere. We'll all be living in California soon enough when it comes to gun laws. Just give it some time.


Burt,

Although I hope you are totally wrong, I hereby nominate you as the OFFICIAL NWFA "Ray of Sunshine"... LOL! ;)

Now THAT paints quite a picture right there! :s0131:
 
Earlier this year we visited friends in CA for three or four days before moving on the Phoenix. I was VERY glad to get out of there and back to where my carry licenses were recognized or not needed!!

I don't see my Draco pistol in there, maybe a different section?

Deen_ad....your Draco wasn't around when that list was put together, your Draco would fall under SB23 and the features ban. You could get around it with a single shot exemption until it was converted to a fixed mag / non detachable mag.

There isn't. Most of the makes/models listed are firearms produced / imported in the 90's. California is currently loaded with new black evil rifles, probably being one of the biggest markets for those rifles in the nation. I still have no idea what you were trying to say. Perhaps I should also open a thread about nothing, it's the new trend here.
