While none of these options are ideal, they do keep you in possession of all your firearms and components, and out of prison. Those who did register their firearms as assault weapons are one bill or proposition away from having them confiscated. There are too many calling for a ban on possession to voluntarily add yourself to a government list.
California lawmakers were quick to act, hastily writing SB 556, the "Common Sense Boating and Fishing Safety Act", which would prohibit the possession of firearms, ammunition, and ammunition feeding devices on or around California waterways while exempting park rangers, Fish & Wildlife, and other government employees.
So the complaint was dismissed, because even though the government wants you to go through a background check every time you buy a gun from a dealer to make sure you’re not a prohibited person, the government is under no obligation, and cannot be held liable, for making sure prohibited persons are actually in the background check system
They’re onto the fact that the people prefer self defense over nanny state firearm restrictions - restrictions that do not deter victimizers but criminalize nonviolent and victimless acts of simple possession - and they are trying to close every liberty-hole they can conceive of to make sure we “do what we’re told” or be charged with a crime.
I can buy a few steel pipes, a cap, a nail, and a drill from any home improvement store, and I can use that to work on my house or I can make it into a shotgun, which may or may not be legal depending on where I am. I’m not committing any crime until I actually commit a crime, nor is the home improvement store committing a crime by selling me pipes.
