Sacramento, CA -(AmmoLand.com)- One of the craziest—and one of the scariest—bills is still moving forward.
Assembly member and former police officer Mike Gipson (D-Carson) is pushing AB 1673, his bill that would define things that ARE NOT firearms AS firearms.
AB 1673 re-defines “firearm” to include “…a frame or receiver blank, casting, or machined body, that is designed and clearly identifiable as a component of a functional weapon.”
A frame can include a block of aluminum or a sheet of metal.
And it would have to be purchased by going through the “proper channels.” Failure to do so could result in jail time.
OPPOSE THE BAN ON METAL BLOCKS
Yes, Assembly member Gipson literally wants to incarcerate you for buying and selling pieces of aluminum or sheet metal that aren’t cataloged by the Department of Justice.
Think of the new crimes that you and your loved ones can face prison time for:
- Possession of a “blank” in a “gun free zone”
- Brandishing a “receiver blank”
- Unloaded open carry of a “casting”
- Failure to wait 10 days to “cool off” after acquiring a “machined body”
Stop This Insane Bill
Sounds crazy, doesn’t it?
Welcome to the California State Legislature. The Kafkaesque world where the crazy is sane.
But we’ve defeated this kind of knee-jerk insanity before. And we can defeat it again — if you stand with us and FIGHT BACK.
Please sign our petition to oppose AB 1673 and ask your friends and family to do the same.
For Liberty,

Is this guy bat crap crazy or what? How in the hell have we got to the point from trying to put the criminals we have, the ones who have done something wrong, in jail to simply making more law to create MORE criminals?
Instead of banning guns the government should publish the no-fly list and terror watch list so that we know who they are. Then we can all watch them. More eyes more safety.
Like secret NO FLY lists , many bad laws start at State level then expand to Nationwide loss of Rights. CA. & NJ have been first many times. STOP – AT – STATE – LEVEL …… Hello , NRA / 2AF.
Instead of making new gun laws the government should publish the no-fly and terror watch list so that we can all watch them. More eyes, more safety. They won’t have a place to hide.
