Tsunami of Legislation in the Pipe for California

A huge number of bills have taken another step forward in California. Some of the "highlights".

SB293, which requires that guns sold in the state be equipped with technology, such as biometric readers, that would prevent anyone but the registered owner from firing them.

SB396, which bans ammunition magazines over 10 rounds, including those that people already own.

SB53, which requires ammunition buyers to get a permit, have a background check and pay a fee.

It really seems like they're throwing as much against the wall as possible to see what sticks. The biometric locks are like round two of the microstamping, the technology isn't ready for consumer level use, but they want to push through legislation anyway.
 
Why did I know I was going to be confronted with Leland Yee's smug visage when I clicked on that?

So now it goes to the House. What are the odds there?
 
Did they ever hear of or read the Heller decision in California? I guess its not very Eco friendly to print out all that paper just to read it, but they have it available online too....Oh well SCOTUS here California comes, hopefully the court hasn't changed for the worse by the time it gets there.
 
You know, if I lived in California, I would be starting a drive to approve a constitutional provision to allow a popular vote to allow a section of the state to split/secede and join the Union with approval of the U.S. Congress. It's not just gun issues, it's a lot of everything else, too.
 
That's interesting. Wasn't the "bullet button" a device the banners mandated in the first place? Exactly how is one to extract an exhausted magazine from a rifle or pistol without a device to make it possible?

The bullet button came about because the previous law stated something like "detachable magazines are required to have a tool to remove them"... owners decided that a .223 round made a pretty good "tool".

One of the new laws bans detachable magazines altogether, so it's a moot point for future guns. In a few years, they'll go after internal mags as well, and limit all rifles to single-shot. The writing is on the wall for CA.

Those bills in their entirety spell the complete end of 2A in CA. I'm hoping the industry is paying attention here.
 
Does the 10 round magazine ban still cover grandfathered mags or does it require people to turn in their grandfathered mags?
 
I agree its not perfect but the whole common use comment on its face would seem to protect banning whole types of firearms that are well in common use, such as semi automatic rifles with a detachable magazine. I guess regardless this issue will sooner or later be going to the courts to decide.
