Reply #33: One of the local gun dealers was talking about California's system [View All]

He said that if a gun isn't renewed on the list, people that own that now-disallowed gun can't sell it to anybody in the state anymore.



The entire concept is ridiculous. California is coming from the viewpoint that all guns in California are illegal to sell until and unless they get certified by the CADoJ. Well, there are thousands of handgun models, finishes, and varients out there. And many of them don't change after 5 years, but they have to be recertified anyway.

It's a hell of a lot of work to certify every single handgun varient, and the CADoJ clearly isn't up to the task. And the money that would need to be spend to make them competent to do so could be spend in a different way to make the people of California safer from murders.


Look, just specify what features a gun needs to be sold in California and investigate violations of the law. Manufacturers already make Massachusettes-legal and New Jersery-legal guns, and in fact generally carry over such features into their model lines. I'm sure if I asked, I could by a model of a gun that meets all of Massachusettes' requirements, 10-round magazine and all, at my local dealer. He might be kinda confused as to why, but it wouldn't be a problem.
