In recent weeks California polished its reputation as a progressive state. It passed strict new gun and environmental laws, and it failed to pass a repeal of its 3-cent gas-tax increase.

Assembly Bill 1621 by Assemblyman Mike Gipson (D-Los Angeles) was signed into law June 30 by Gov. Gavin Newsom. This is the “ghost guns” bill, intended to make it more difficult to make guns not licensed by the state. In the Assembly summary, it redefines a firearm to include a “precursor part.” And it prohibits “possessing or manufacturing a firearm precursor part without authorization.”
