They're going to open up the AW registry...if you are a resident there, you'll have to register it as a California RAW.

You know that it was a plastic sword right?? So now people panic and bail out of emergency exits and into secure areas because "plastic toys"?
This is really getting stupid. Whatever happened to common sense and a little tough skin. Instead we have the "safe space" generation scared of their own shadows and moderate noise.
I say we wrap some of these idiots up and ship them over to the Middle East and let them learn what real fear is. Let them try to push this "safe space" crap in Afghanistan. Good grief.

Registered Assault Weapon. It is a term defined in California state law as a firearm meeting the legal description of an "assault weapon" and registered with the State.

California Assembly Bill No. 1135
(1) Existing law generally prohibits the possession or transfer of assault weapons, except for the sale, purchase, importation, or possession of assault weapons by specified individuals, including law enforcement officers. Under existing law, “assault weapon” means, among other things, a semiautomatic centerfire rifle or a semiautomatic pistol that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and has any one of several specified attributes, including, for rifles, a thumbhole stock, and for pistols, a 2nd handgrip.
This bill would revise this definition of “assault weapon” to mean a semiautomatic centerfire rifle or a semiautomatic pistol that does not have a fixed magazine but has any one of those specified attributes. The bill would also define “fixed magazine” to mean an ammunition feeding device contained in, or permanently attached to, a firearm in such a manner that the device cannot be removed without disassembly of the firearm action.

Did you lock the doors?
You could try moving to another country. I was thinking Texas could be nice.
But seriously, I used to say gun laws only affect law abiding citizens. Apparently now they turn law abiding citizens into criminals. I'm really tired of people who think the second amendment was written to protect hunters and sportsman.

It doesn't outlaw all guns with detachable magazines, it's just an expansion of the definition of an "assault weapon". The new legislation does outlaw any magazines with a capacity higher than 10, the old laws grandfathered in magazines that were in your possesion before the old ban on buying/selling them. It seems like the new laws are specifically written to target AR15 style rifles, other magazine fed semi-automatic rifles like a Ruger Mini 14/30 or M1A won't need to be registered since they are "featureless" (no fwd pistol grip, telescoping stock, thumbhole stock, or flash hider). The assault weapon laws seem to be a reaction to workarounds people came up with when the last round of legislation became law, specifically the Bullet Button (a device that requires a tool to remove the magazine, usually a loaded bullet). No one is really sure how the new laws are going to be implemented yet but there is optimistic speculation that after registration we'll be able to remove the Bullet Buttons altogether since the rifle is now a registered assault weapon. The more disconcerting new laws in my opinion are ones that deal with purchasing ammunition, only licensed dealers will able to sell it and only after a background check at the time of purchase. This is going to obviously reduce availability, and with reduced availability comes increased cost, maybe making it prohibitively expensive. Not sure how it will effect people that reload their own ammunition but I'm sure supplies will get more expensive as well. If you live in CA and think any of this isn't quite in tune with "shall not infringe" there are petitions circulating at just about every local gun shop and range to try and repeal or at least put the new laws up for a vote.

My thought up until the last several months was to let the CA legislature overstep as far as the Governor would let them go, and then let the courts slap it down. I don't know if that will happen, given the nature of the current federal courts.

I can see the logic in that, but it's a pretty big gamble without the odds being in your favor. Signing the petitions may be just peeing into the wind but at least it shows the disapproval of a hopefully large segment of the people, whether or not it's enough people to force them to rethink the new laws remains to be seen. But doing something feels better than doing nothing at this point.

I may be wrong, but from my reading, it only mentions center fire rifles or pistols with a detachable magazine. Then again, I just skimmed through it.
