California bans pistols that accept switches - here we go

[Saltwater60]

This needs swift action by the courts to strike this down but we will see if this happens. The Supreme Court justices should make their path known almost immediately so this can be handled appropriately.
Sorry for linking MDA but their article was the best on what this law actually does. Other media outlets are calling it a Glock ban or a machine gun conversion ban but it’s much more and bans any firearm that easily can be converted with a switch type device to a machine gun

FACT SHEET: AB 1127 Stops the Spread of DIY Machine Guns in California

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Last week, Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel unveiled new language for AB 1127, which would stop the spread of illegal DIY machine guns in California, continuing California’s efforts to …

This is exactly why I'm calling bullshit on the Trump administration and their lies on restoring our gun rights. This shouldn't be going on if they were actually doing a damn thing. It's getting worse, not better.

I agree our rights will not be restored. Heck if anything good on the 2a comes during his administration I’ll be pleasantly surprised but you can’t blame Trump for this. He should be condemning it and saying it’s illegal while dedicating the AG’s office to fighting this but I doubt that will happen either. I fully expect NYS to do this soon.

NY will probably do so, but I have a feeling they are looking to go the route of MA soon, which has the worst anti-gun policies of the USA. As for Trump, he needs to put the foot down, and he handpicked these people who are failing us. He knew Bondi's past on gun rights, but he wanted a pretty face around, so we got what we got. If I hire someone to do a job and I know they probably won't do that job, I'm 100% at fault.

For every step forward, always takes us 3 steps backwards.

For Instance.... what did the NY v Bruen SCOTUS decision get us in NYS.

Do you people really believe, any government, is going to give you back your rights?

It will be a tale of 2 worlds, states that have gun rights and states that are allowed to do whatever the hell they want with no recourse or accountability from superior courts.

Exactly that, my friend.

California gangbangers and other assorted criminals must be thinking that sucks...

Oh, wait, never mind. Criminals don't give a shit about gun people control laws.

I hate these click bait videos, its a bill not a law. Noting has passed the assembly let alone there is not a companion bill nor has it been signed into law. I'm not saying those things are not possible or likely but its like the cornucopia of bullshit bills in NY they they try ever session.

There was a time when I had hoped someone would stand up for us. I drank the koolaid with Trump again, but I now realize, I was just trying to fool myself into a fantasy.

You may be right. I thought the amendment process in the case was an administrative process to the list of approved and unapproved guns in the state. I did not think this needed to be passed by the houses of the government but I could be wrong. The video led me to believe it passed already. I had trouble finding anything concrete on it but a lot of the videos and titles said Glock’s banned in CA. It’s hard at times to keep up on all this crap.

We never know what was passed, still on voye, or rjmor mill anymore. But, sadly, things like this are a possibility in the morning and a law in the afternoon.

I read something not to long ago that even in CA shooting sports and even huner numbers were on the uptick and due to younger people. Not sure where I read it though as it's all a jumble these days. But if it was factual maybe there's going to be a shift in favor of gun rights, but I'm not holding my breath.

You`re not alone. I gave up thinking that NY could be saved. As for the country as a whole, there`s still some hope, but not alot when you see the likes of what this government is doing to its people. Alot of people question where ALL this sh!t lands at the end of his term. A few crumbs at a snails pace is not going to fix any of it. Executive orders are just a band-aid. It only covers the wound for a very short time, but the scars will always remain. Congress is the only ones who can fix this mess with unconstitutional gun control crap. But will they? I`m not betting MY life on it.

Good for them. The citizens of the State continue to elect the same type of people, must be what the people want.

Im not thrilled with the progress on restoring our 2a rights, but federal and state are two different things. Not that states should be violating the federal law, but its been the status quo.

Personally, there should be one, and only one standard across the entire United States, and thats "Shall Not be Infringed ".

Doesn't federal law already say that something that is easily converted into a machine gun is a machinegun ?

So, if it isn't *currently* considered a machinegun, then it doesn't "accept" a component that converts it.

May not be logical, but gun laws seldom are.

FWIW, that's why the 3rd hole in an AR receiver is illegal even without the auto sear installed.

And the reason that DIAS and lightning links don't make *all* ARs machineguns is that the DIAS and the lightning link are themselves legally machineguns.

So attaching one to a plain AR doesn't make the AR a machinegun. It just enables the machinegun you already had to fire. Basically the stock AR is considered the accessory to the DIAS and not the other way around.

A glock switch is basically just a DIAS for a glock. All the same logic should follow.
