Ever consider this misinformation and gobbldygook as deliberate rather than ignorant?
The ‘Greens’ in Australia have continued to campaign to have automatic and semi-automatic arms banned here, despite the fact that automatics were never legal and semiautomatics almost impossible since 1996. The Greens know this, but continue to use this tactic to campaign for ever more restrictive, yet unrelated gun control.
The Inuit have been harvesting Harp seals for eons without detriment, and kangaroo harvesting in Australia is as essential as deer management in the US. Ever noticed that the argument is never taken up with those affected or the well informed? The Green lobby will never be influenced by, or even interested in facts, they get in the way of their story.
10% of the population will support any argument regardless. 10% of the population will oppose it regardless.
The rest are there to be fought for and mostly ignorant. Don’t scoff, this willful ignorance and deception tactic works in the short term. Your ‘ignorant’ representative did after-all get elected. Confront the general community with the truth and get him un-elected! Don’t fall for the temptation to play their game, spreading equally silly positions. That doesn’t work in the long term, leave the masters of BS to be exposed for what they are. Regardless of who likes it or not, the truth always comes out, and often at the most inconvenient time, for the BS artists.

Technicalities exist within the Jan 1st, 2014 registration. Firearms owned prior to Jan 1st don’t need to be registered and there’s currently no law requiring dates on 80% lowers. Hard to enforce when an individual makes a firearm and there’s no requirement even in California for individuals to add one.

de Leon is trying to close this “loophole”. The “Ghost Gun” is a fully automatic 80%er.

Editor: If full-auto, it’s already illegal nationwide without tax stamp. If SBR, its’ already illegal nationwide without tax stamp. In California, because of features (detachable mag, pistol grip, adjustable stock), already illegal as “assault rifle”, and has required registration for years now, which, in turn requires a serial number. People need to understand that the rifle Sen. De Leon is holding is already verbotten, under numerous regulations. No you’re not allowed to make a short-barreled machine-gun in your garage.

> But it is already against to law in California to create a functioning AR15-type rifle from a non-serialized receiver.

Actually it is not against the law. It is 100% legal and many builders do it. This is exactly what this moron de Leon wants to ban. The only limitation to such a rifle is that it must be either “featureless” (no pistol grip, no flash hider, etc) or have a “bullet button” which locks a magazine so that a tool (tip of the pullet, a screwdriver or similar tool) is necessary to depress a mag release.

Editor: Not true. As of January 1, 2014, in California, all long guns must be registered. To be registered, there must be a serialized part. Moreover, under federal law also, gun manufacturers must have a distinct code or number on what is normally called the “receiver” or “lower” in the case of an AR. Yes you might start with an un-numbered 80% lower, but it must be serialized during production. So a complete gun without a serial number IS already illegal in California.

Mix a bit of hoplophobia, material determinism, ignorance and cerebrally challenged nostrums and this is the result….. a low information politician.

These politicians always have police officers of high rank in the background. These officers are now politicians just with an agenda (mostly their own careers) and are not willing to correct the politicians or are just as ignorant, probably both. I have seen professional law enforcement officers that are so immersed in the administrative part of their jobs that become very ignorant of the tactical aspect of police work, or the reality in the streets. Most cops are not good shooters and many view their firearms as evil and never become experts in their use, or comfortable nor knowledgeable enough to carry a weapon. They become part of the problem when they tacitly agree to be pawns (court jesters) of politicians trying to make an impact of some type. I am a retired federal LEO for USCBP and talk from my own observations. The officers do not serve and protect, more like obstruct and harass the law abiding public with agendas bordering in fascism.

To be more than fair to the “tool”, he’s referring to an 80% lower built into an illegal weapon (maybe automatic) and hard to assign to an owner. California tried to outlaw 80% lowers but was not able to do so as I believe Brown would not sign the legislation it was attached to. I could be wrong. He certainly seems frightened by it. Clearly he’s afraid of ghosts.

This Senator is a typical greenie anti gun lobbyist! He probably entered politics under some other guise, but in reality he’s a mole for the anti-gun lobby that did the back door deals and greasing of palms to get him in… This is why he knows nothing about firearms. This guy has only one agenda to spread fear, propaganda and misrepresent the facts when is come to firearms, this has all the whore marks of anti-gun lobby, green and animal rights groups.
