SACRAMENTO, CA –-(Ammoland.com)- Firearms Policy Coalition today announced that it had acquired new “mock-up” language for California Assembly Bill 2382 (AB 2382), currently a bill authored by Asm. Mike Gipson (D – Carson) to expand the definition of “firearm” and “receiver,” that would enact a radical and far-reaching new regulatory scheme by treating non-firearm parts, components, and even some raw materials in a virtually-identical manner as Gavin Newsom’s Proposition 63 and Senator Kevin de Leon’s SB 1235 (2016) did with ammunition. FPC called the broad reach and implications of the disturbing amendments “staggering.”
“The State of California’s non-stop barrage of attacks on gun owners and our rights appears to have no end in sight,” said FPC Legislative Advocate and Spokesperson Craig DeLuz. “It is deeply troubling that our state government sees law-abiding residents as the enemy. One thing is for certain, if the Legislature and the Department of Justice continue to pass and enforce more and more oppressive laws, they will get the exact opposite of what they say they want.”
that would include barrels, ammunition feeding devices (including magazines for semi-automatic firearms and “speed loaders” for revolvers), “unfinished receivers,” molded or shaped polymer frames or receivers, metallic castings, metallic forgings, receiver “flats” such as Kalashnikov style weapon systems, Browning-style receiver side plates, Kalashnikov style receiver “channels”, finished upper receivers for AR-15 and AR-10 style firearms, unfinished handgun frames, finished slides that are used to enclose handgun barrels, and trigger pack or fire control groups for Heckler and Koch or FN FAL style firearms.
Purchasing regulated gun parts would generally require face-to-face transactions and background checks, subject these items to new age restrictions, mandate DOJ licenses for dealers to sell “firearm precursor parts” and new storage and handling requirements for sellers. As with ammunition, online purchases and importation from other states would generally be prohibited.
To help combat this outrageous bill FPC has established Take Action Grassroots Tools at StopAB2382.com, where gun owners can learn more about and weigh in on the bill by electronically sending a letter to legislators. AB 2382 is currently scheduled to be heard in the Assembly Public Safety Committee on Tuesday, April 17th.
FPC noted that their legislative team is already working on over three dozen bills in the Golden State alone this year. With the likely changes to AB 2382, they have dubbed this year’s firearms-related legislative package “Gunpocalypse 2”.
“Eventually, law-abiding people will be forced into making hard choices to escape the oppression, including non-compliance, or leaving and taking their tax dollars and businesses with them. Sadly, the California government really does hate civil rights and its own people,” concluded DeLuz.

Why does Hollywood still get to use guns in movies?

@Allie Kat yes, heard about CA and Real ID Act. Even the illegals will get on planes before security minded lawful citizens who opted for the regular driver license instead of Real ID License (which requires scanning in your birth certificate and social security card) will be allowed on planes. 143 million hacked due to Equifax failures; 22 million current and former federal employee personnel files hacked at US Office of Personnel Management; it’s only a matter of time before TSA and/or one or more of the 50 State DMV’s are hacked (under the Real ID Act all of the… Read more »
After this they’ll classify pieces of steel or aluminum that might possibly be machined, stamped or forged into a firearm part.
After that they’ll classify iron ore or bauxite, which can be smelted into steel or aluminum, as a potential firearms part.
You know the old saying (you are what you eat)you reap what you sow) I could go on,but the people in kalifornia get what they vote for.They only way to straighten it out, is for the federal government to declare Marshall Law take them over,then start over.
IT IS JUST THIS SIMPLE. This is what liberals do. Not all democrats are left wing liberals BUT all left wing liberals, socialists and U.S. Communists are………democrats.
Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure….
what was the last great thing CA politicians did FOR the PEOPLE of CA? VOTE THEM ALL OUT EVERY ELECTION! As long as people don’t get bothered with anything the politicos do, they are NOT interested.
Presuming this excresence passes, make use of it. There’s a cotter pin in the AR-15 bolt carrier group. Start making citizen arrests of anyone who possesses an unregistered cotter pin; judges, law enforcement, teachers, gun control advocates. Make them live up to their laws. Agitate for age limits & registration for smart phones; it’s for the children.
This just goes to show that if you compromise with the Anti-Rights communists just once, it will NEVER end. They will keep demanding more and more and more and more and more…until you have NOTHING left and are ruled by the Iron Fist of Stalinist communists.
