California's New Gun Control Law
-
Gov. Newsom just signed it into law.
... The new gun law, set to go into effect in January, will allow private people to sue anyone who imports, distributes, manufactures or sells illegal firearms in California, such as assault weapons, .50 BMG rifles and so-called ghost guns. The law requires a court to order $10,000 in damages for each weapon used in an alleged violation, along with attorneys fees. ...

If it only pertains to illegal firearms, and requires some sort of damage in an act of use, with a puny award, why is this of any interest?

Yeah that was my reply. Seems like a normal law. How was it not a law before?

Or...Especially with AR-15's, it's common to buy parts from different places and put the gun together at home. BATF only requires documented transfer for the lower receiver.
OTOH...You can buy an unregistered AK receiver that is not finished - they're nothing but sheet steel - and use a template to drill your holes. Then bend it on a bending jig. Then finish the receiver however you wish (home cerakote, cold blue, barbecue pit paint). Put your parts together and you have an unregistered AK, or a ghost gun. If you ever sell it, you'll have to put a serial number on the receiver and stamp the caliber on the barrel.
Now, the above is off the top of my head and that knowledge is a few years old. Take it with a grain of salt.
