SB798 is dead! For now...

I read more on the way the CA legislature works... they are in session in August but usually for budget reasons. In a week the will break until January.

if guns can not come into CA unless they are purple then expect ASGI,EVIKE. SPARTAN to pull up stakes and move to aState that has no such B*&& S#!* restriction..The price may actualy go down simply becuase the over head Taxes and other fees that are in California.Perhaps Texas, or another state that has an international trade zone/port of entry.
Also expect to see the unpainted external parts, and upgrades get more plentiful. More Bling ,bling

I would think the price would go up because that means boats from China Japan Taiwan ect would have to travel further to get to ports in Texas and also with weather isuues in to the east that means products could be lost or companies destroyed? just a thought

why not just move up north to like Oregon and Washington? different rules and should be cheaper without having outside companies spend more money

[THKInternational]

same issues

Oregon is full of hippies. As much as people think moving a company out of sate would be the answer to this, you have to consider the facts. A company is in business to make money. Every day that they are open, they are making money. For a company to close up shop and move out of state, get a new location, then start up service again would take too long for them and they would lose way too much money for that to be a profitable idea. Remember, these are not multi-million dollar companies. They are relatively small businesses, and moving out of stake could possibly bankrupt them. A potential solution could be setting up a receiving/distribution center out of state, but again that is completely cost relative.

Striker is alive?!

Yes I am. I've been having some medical issues of late, so I have had to step back from playing for a bit.

What I read of 798 is that it is not illegal for the private citizen own, possess, or transport a "realistic" looking gun (airsoft or real). 798 wants to make It illegal to retail or ship a "realistic" looking gun. I don't know why they care so much because it is not illegal to retail and ship after market parts for your gun. In essence, selling and shipping you a blued, metal bodied, M4 with a basic, cheap ass plastic, chartreuse stock and hand guard, and sell you MagPul furniture, or even include it in a package deal. However, I think the industry is not saying anything on that topic so that the DeLeon does not discover the loop holes in the bill.

If a bear finds you asleep in a sleeping bag, does he think "MMM burrito"

Which means Evike/ASGI could just remove the upper reciever, and stock, then ship them in their own boxes inside of a larger box, since then they won't be shipping you a completed gun, they'll just be shipping you gun parts. May raise the shipping prices a little bit, but would bypass 798.
