Message: <blockquote data-quote="scottb42" data-source="post: 2100551" data-attributes="member: 27603">They tried something similar to this last year... the idea was to retroactively ban all "Bullet-Buttoned" ARs, no grandfather clause, no registration, just turn 'em in.  Almost passed too, until the Appropriations Committee looked at it and couldn't find a way around the fact that the state would have to compensate the owners of all such rifles.  Estimates vary for the number of BB-ed ARs in California, low end is 100,000 and upper end is 1,000,000.  Even if they low-balled the value of each seized rifle it would still have cost the state a big hunk of cheese, which they didn't have.Maybe they think that since the state budget has "recovered" (call me skeptical) they can take a fresh look at this.</blockquote>
