Quoted:Quoted:They are waiting to get SB-47 passed. Once everyone has to register their guns, this topic will come back.. Why get 166k now, when you can get many more later? "This bill would require that any person who, from January 1, 2001, to December 31, 2013, inclusive, lawfully possessed an assault weapon that does not have a fixed magazine, as defined, and including those weapons with an ammunition feeding device that can be removed readily from the firearm with the use of a tool, register the firearm before July 1, 2014, with the Department of Justice. This bill would permit the department to increase the $20 registration fee as long as it does not exceed the reasonable processing costs of the department. This bill would also require registrations to be submitted electronically via the Internet utilizing a public-facing application made available by the department. This bill would require the registration to contain specified information,including, but not limited to, a description of the firearm that identifies it uniquely and specified information about the registrant. This bill would permit the department to charge a fee of up to $15 per person for registration through the Internet, not to exceed the reasonable processing costs of the department to be paid and deposited, as specified. This bill would require the department to establish procedures for the purpose of carrying out those provisions and would exempt them from the Administrative Procedure Act. This bill would also make technical and conforming changes."
Eric It has changed again. Ongoing thread on Calguns. SB47 will force everyone who owns a semi automatic firearm register it within a 6 month window. After that, possession of an unregistered firearm will be a felony. Registered firearms will be declared a "public nuisance" and allow for confiscation as found. So basically registration will only exempt you from criminal punishment. Any registered semi automatic firearm found is still subject to confiscation. At least that is what I am taking from their analysis of the bill. Well, at least I have a "get the heck out of California" date. This becomes law and I am across state lines for good by 7-1-14. The end game is still the same, which is eventual confiscation of all registered weapons. Eric
