Gun Group Claims Few Californians Complied With New Registration Law

The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) said the likely registration rate of “bullet-button assault weapons” was only about 3 percent of the total number of firearms in California that fall under the state’s latest expansion of its “assault weapons” ban. State documents obtained by the group through freedom of information requests show the Department of Justice approved 6,213 individuals to register 12,519 firearms under the new law by the end of June. It rejected a further 1,373 registration attempts. As of June 30, 2018, 52,443 applications for registration were pending.

The 66,335 applications for registration pale in comparison, FPC said, to the number of firearms sold between January 2000 and December 2017, which the state said must be registered by June 30, 2018. Using data on gun sales from state records and the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the group estimated there were 1.3 million firearms sold in California that would fall under the registration requirements. They estimated an additional half-million home-built firearms fall in the same category.

That would put the number of attempted registrations at about 3.6 percent of the total number of firearms required to be registered.

RE: #7, above, chuckusaret.

I had to look long and hard for this video (again), because YouTube has banned, blocked or censored it apparently … I guess it doesn't fit their corporate PC political narrative.

Maybe he moved to California? He won't comply!

Play it often, play it loud, and post it IN THEIR FACES at every opportunity!

Put me on that list too.

California politicians have created 1,000s of instant felons because the online registration program keeps crashing, i.e. citizens are unable to comply with the law.

And when California residents attempt to comply, some of them are arrested …

Silence, non-compliance and ignorance of the law may be "good things" … but not a legal defense.

The Gun Control/anti-2A/"do-something/anything, even if unconstitutional" political disease is currently contained to the W & NE coasts plus IL, but spreading slowly …

Very blessed (and happy) to live in 2A-friendly Mississippi.

California's Gavin Newsome and Xavier Becerra (CA LtGov and AG) have national political aspirations to infect and inflict the rest of us with their liberal/progressive/socialist madness.

JMO.

Other than Southern border interlopers and obsessed libs, who wants to go into California these days?

More homeless, more takers and more techies and actor wannabes?

Generally don't those fit under the category of "illegals" (takers) or "obsessed libs" or they will if they want to "fit in"?

But you and I repeat ourselves, don't we?

One thing to remember, there are usually large parts of any state that are rural, and in blue states are basically held hostage by a few big cities, and California is no exception. Get a little inland, and we'd have a lot in common with the regular folk there. And they are also likely the ones that own most of the guns.

I can understand the 3-California's initiative now … although, once again, judges have intervened to block it:

I don't know if California Supreme Court judges are elected or not.
