Just read the AG memo: it's not as clear cut good to go as you're suggesting in CA. The AG says that while some activities proposed are legal, he states that much of the proposed activites are dangerously close to, and even, illegal; subjecting the person to prosecution. Notwithstanding A1, A2, and A3, read A6 and A9 of the memo...
Exactly how many "rebuild" kits do you think you can mail or possess without raising some eyes? An argument can be made for possessing a few, but 50? 100? At some point you're clearly assisting, conspiring, or participating in criminal behavior. The words manufacturing, importing, and jail are pretty scary...
The words conspiracy, aiding and abetting, interstate federal offense, mail crimes, state felonies all come to mind.
If Jon lives in state A and commit a crime in state B, BOTH states can have jurisdiction and issue arrest warrants. Further, it's also interstate crime, so the Feds are involved, particularly if you use the mails.
For example, say Jon sends a mail bomb from state A to state B using the post office. Jon's bomb kills a person in state B. State A, state B, and the Feds all have jurisdiction and can prosecute Jon. State B may not be able to unless Jon's extradicted... but once convicted an incarcerated in state A or by the Feds, and extradiction is a high probability.
Another example, say Tim shoots a rifle across state borders and commit a murder, from A to B. Again, states A, B, and the Feds have jurisdiction.
In the case of mailing illicit materials into a state, it's easy to track you down since your return address is on the mail, and there may also be electronic communications too.
Why do you think that most online retailers don't ship certain items into places like CA, MD, NY, IL, NJ, HI, etc.?
Doing this, sending illicit parts into CA, is taking MASSIVE legal risks for presumably very little gain. I would never even contemplate doing this... again, *maybe* you are right. But the pricetag of getting in front of a judge or jury to tell them why you are right is HUGE. Probably minimum of $20,000, and the risk of being wrong and incarcerated and losing your 2A rights. Absolutely stupid thing to do.
I guess I'm just cautious when it comes to safeguarding my liberties, freedom, and wealth.
The term "constructive sale" or "constructive possession" comes to mind.
Sure, you *might* be okay... however the limitless coffers of the state or federal government, and an overzealous prosecutor, could cost you tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees to prove your point, not to mention the serious consequences IF you are wrong. Ever been through a trial? It isn't fun. Months or years living with immesurable stress, and spending a small fortune on your defense; and the BEST case scenario is you walk out in no better place than before you started - a free man.
Maybe these are misdemeanors, maybe felonies. I haven't looked that deeply into it. But IF you are wrong, your new nickname is "Inmate 45687" and you might get to tell everyone why you are a felon and convict. Fun stuff.
Again, no thanks. Sending or possessing parts of an illegal object in states where they are prohibited is NOT a risk I personally would be willing to accept.
"How would I get caught?" is a common question. Well, the person in CA gets pinched for something, and a warrant for his home turns up all these magazine kits and boxes from where they were sent, or he cuts a deal and dimes out the seller...
I advise against...
