USA – -(Ammoland.com)- California will soon require every person who wishes to purchase a “firearm precursor part” to first undergo a background check process nearly identical to that which California currently uses for ammunition sales. The only problem is no one knows for certain what exactly is a “firearm precursor part.”
Yesterday, CA DOJ submitted proposed “emergency” regulations to the Office of Administrative Law for review and public comment. Because the proposal was submitted on an“emergency” basis,” members of the public only have five calendar days to submit comments on the proposal. Since the regs were submitted on Tuesday, that gives you only until this Sunday!
- The text of DOJ’s proposed regulations can be viewed here.
- DOJ has also created a “Firearm Precursor Part Identification Guidebook” in connection with their proposal that can be viewed here.
California Rifle & Pistol Association strongly urges all members to review DOJ’s proposal and submit their own comments. Such comments are important because DOJ must review and respond to every comment before submitting a final proposal for adoption.

Gun part precursors?
They gonna ban soda bottles, scrap aluminum, seamless steel tubing, spring wire?
All of those can, have, and will be used to make firearm parts.
No. Uhhnn uhn. You can take that and shove it.
California voted for this, including twice for Gov Hair Gel. You get the government you deserve.
Reminds me when I was in line behind a girl trying to buy colored pipe cleaners for a school project but she couldn’t because they were a “tobacco product”, just stupid.
how about everyone in the calif. doj be drug tested, and run a deep background check on them ? Then, make the results public.
I need a mainspring for my 1874 St. Etienne revolver and wonder if that’s included in the book of “precursor parts.” Further, I’ve heard a skilled gunsmith should be able to make one. If so, would replacement be a simple repair or would it be a new part that requires a background check?
Just checking. Perhaps everyone should ask the state to answer a question.
You can make an AK receiver from a shovel…
Actually, CA DoJ hit squads do in fact stake out our gun shows here in Arizona. Fact. When we find them we confront them but they will track vehicles with CA plates back to the AG station in Needles for shake down. Be very careful.
There is no useful purpose to be served for any state to have any laws pertaining to firearms, ammunition or firearms parts. Such laws are obeyed only by the law abiding members of society, and the criminal element doesn’t give a damn, one way or the other. If a person isn’t concerned about the possible penalties for shooting someone, he/she certainly is not worried about any laws against ownership, possession, carrying or anything else pertaining to firearms. BE PREPARED!
Desperate measures for those desperate for truth but who cannot handle the truth. Violent crime is a byproduct of progressive public policy, the war on poverty and war on drugs and war on Western Civilization. New Left Progressives like those running California (in to the ground) are seeking to deflect blame from their failed ideologies and blame those who are least likely to commit crimes: law abiding gun owners. The more desperate these ideologues become the more desperate will be their measures. This is how secret police organizations like the CA DoJ hit squads get formed, We have even busted… Read more »
