LONG BEACH, Calif. – -(AmmoLand.com)- More than two dozen new gun laws were passed during the 2017 and 2018 legislative sessions and the California Department of Justice (“DOJ”) has issued several new regulations and policies that impact California gun owners. There are now over 800 California state statutes regulating the manufacture, distribution, sale, possession, and use of firearms and ammunition, as well as hundreds of administrative regulations, local ordinances, and written and unwritten policies. And there are thousands of federal laws regulating firearms that apply in California.

Wait for the 2020 book of gun laws, when you open the cover it will say “ALL FIREARMS & WEAPONS PROHIBITED”
To a degree it already does. Just saying.
Not being from the “wrong” side of the Colorado River, I would like to know what is a bullet button!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A bullet button is a device used to remove a magazine in a semiautomatic rifle, replacing the magazine release with a block which forces the user to remove the magazine by using a tool as opposed to his or her finger. This allows the rifle to comply with parts of California’s firearms laws.
We live in AZ and love to visit San Diego. Not in a year or two. I will not cross the river. Maybe that fault will someday give way, flush those commies into the Pacific.
And we, the conservatives thank you for your support.
I don’t think Horace Greeley would say “Go West Young Man” if he saw what has happened to California.
The only person that says “Go west young man” is RuPaul or his friends.
I’m 66 years old and have lived in the same city and on the same block my entire life. (different houses). I’m fed up with this state and the liberal demorats. I’m selling and movin on. Not sure where but can’t get out fast enough.

I WILL PUBLISH A NEW BOOK! NO GUNS OR FREEDOM ALLOWED–MOVE TO ANOTHER STATE AND SCREW IT UP TOO!
And that is exactly what these liberal jackasses are doing. They cannot stand all the fees, laws, regulations and Mexicans coming in so they move–and then the idiots vote exactly like they did in the PRC!
I live in CA and this is one messed up state. These fires are purging the system for a reason. I think the powers that be upstairs have had enough of this crap.
This is a high point with them putting this book out, they have moved from their emission controls to total gun control, just think most of the current emission control started in Calif, the manufactures gave up trying to fight them, so now all vehicles produced have to have Calif certification for all states, who says one state can’t change it for all, Calif has in the past, so watch what comes out of there as it is only a pray lude to what they can get done to manufacturing and the Second Amendment!!!!!!
You’re right. Don’t forget the ban on plastic straws, too.
