We have urgent news regarding an anti-gun bill California is voting on tomorrow in committee.
Just yesterday, the tyrants amended a budget bill - AB 88 - to include anti-gun measures that could turn you into a felon.
First, AB 88 would expand the definition of so-called "assault weapons," forcing you to register even more of your firearms or face criminal penalties.
Second, this legislation would expedite the State's regulation of firearm precursor parts from 2025 to 2022.
And California is going to ram this disgusting legislation through TOMORROW!

The Bill https://legiscan.com/CA/text/AB88/id/2195751/California-2019-AB88-Amended.html
(16) Under existing law, a licensed firearms dealer or licensed ammunition vendor is automatically deemed a licensed firearm precursor part vendor beginning July 1, 2023, if they comply with specified requirements. Existing law, beginning July 1, 2024, requires the sale of firearm precursor parts to be conducted by or processed through a licensed firearm precursor part vendor and prohibits the sale of firearm precursor parts to a person under 21 years of age. Beginning July 1, 2024, existing law requires a person or business to have a valid firearm precursor part vendor license to sell more than one firearm precursor part in a 30-day period, except as exempted. Under existing law, a violation of these provisions is a misdemeanor.
Existing law, beginning July 1, 2025, requires the Department of Justice to electronically approve the purchase or transfer of firearm precursor parts through a vendor. Beginning July 1, 2025, existing law requires a vendor to submit records of sales and transfers of firearm precursor parts to the department, and requires the department to retain those records.
This bill would instead automatically deem a licensed firearms dealer or licensed ammunition vendor to be a licensed firearm precursor part vendor beginning April 1, 2022. Beginning July 1, 2022, the bill would require the sale of firearm precursor parts to be conducted by or processed through a licensed firearm precursor part vendor and would require a person or business to have a valid firearm precursor part vendor license to sell more than one firearm precursor part in a 30-day period. The bill would require the Department of Justice to electronically approve the purchase or transfer of firearm precursor parts through a vendor beginning July 1, 2022, and would require a vendor to submit records of sales and transfers of firearm precursor parts to the department beginning July 1, 2022. By accelerating the operative dates of crimes, the bill would impose a state-mandated program.
(17) Existing law generally prohibits the possession or transfer of assault weapons, except for the sale, purchase, importation, or possession of assault weapons by specified individuals, including law enforcement officers. Under existing law, “assault weapon” means, among other things, a semiautomatic centerfire rifle, a semiautomatic shotgun, or a semiautomatic pistol that does not have a fixed magazine and has any one of specified attributes, including, for rifles, a thumbhole stock, and for pistols, a 2nd handgrip.
This bill would expand the definition of “assault weapon” to include a semiautomatic firearm that is not a rifle, pistol, or shotgun, that either does not have a fixed magazine but has any one of the attributes currently associated with assault weapons, as specified, that has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds, or that has an overall length of less than 30 inches.
The bill would provide an exception to the prohibition on possessing an assault weapon that is not a rifle, pistol, or shotgun if the person lawfully possessed the weapon prior to July 1, 2020, and registers the weapon by January 1, 2022, as specified. The bill would require the Department of Justice to adopt regulations to implement these registration requirements. By expanding the application of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
(18) Existing law authorizes the Department of Justice to provide an option for joint registration of an assault weapon owned by family members residing in the same household.
This bill would prohibit the joint registration of an assault weapon that is not a rifle, pistol, or shotgun.
