Chief, I hear you and believe me, we are trying but the Democrat controlled capitol will pass whatever laws they want to pass. It is almost too late for us Californians unless there's court challenge or federal mandate.
I have high hopes that Trump administration along with the Second Amendment Coalition and NRA will push for federal laws that will reverse some of the damaging state gun control laws that negatively affected gun owners. So 2017 is the year we all take action to let our law makers know at state/federal levels to support 2A.
Very good point.
Featureless carbines/rifles are "CA legal" firearms and do not need to be category 3 registered assault weapons (RAW). And DOJ even allows category 3 RAW to be converted back to featureless CA legal firearm with registration cancelled to be given to family or sold -

Yes, I too was upset (actually pissed off) about the passage of 2017 gun laws but since have refocused my attention to actual compliance for me to continue enjoying my firearms with family. Thanks to the ingenuity of individuals and support from firearms industry, I am able to pursue my hobby of shooting.
