Free 30 round mags handout at the capital!

A win for 2A! Let's hope this holds and is used as precedent for lifting mag capacity restrictions in CA.
A win? They are passing an AW ban and mag capacity limits (at least they get 15). Now you have "permission" to keep what you have but can't sell it or transfer it. Forget about your kids or grandkids ever getting your rifles.

A free mag is hardly consolation for this unconstitutional catastrophe.



Key Provisions of the Proposed Ban
The legislation targets specific features of semi-automatic firearms and magazine capacities:
  • Sale and Import Ban: It would prohibit the manufacture, importation, sale, and transfer of firearms defined as "assault firearms".
  • Grandfather Clause: Individuals who lawfully own these firearms or magazines before July 1, 2026, are permitted to keep them.
  • Magazine Restrictions: The sale and transfer of "large capacity ammunition feeding devices" (magazines holding more than 15 rounds) would be prohibited.
  • Definition of "Assault Firearm":This generally includes semi-automatic center-fire rifles or pistols with certain features, such as:
    • Folding, telescoping, or thumbhole stocks.
    • Threaded barrels.
    • Fixed magazines with a capacity exceeding 15 rounds.
  • Age Restriction: Possession of assault firearms would be prohibited for individuals under the age of 21, regardless of when the weapon was manufactured.
  • Penalties: Violations would be classified as a Class 1 misdemeanor. A conviction would also result in a three-year ban on purchasing, possessing, or transporting any firearm.

I should read more carefully, I was thinking this was something else. Post deleted. Of course I am against this proposed ban.
