CA AW BAN DESTROYED BY INSANE AR

Duration: 12:50

This video explores a novel approach to complying with California's assault weapon ban by utilizing a Gilboa Snake, a double-barreled AR-15. The proposed method involves installing a fixed magazine device into one of the firearm's two magazine wells, thereby meeting the legal definition of a fixed magazine rifle. This would theoretically allow the firearm to retain other 'assault weapon' features while remaining legal in California, with the second magazine well accommodating a standard detachable magazine.

Quick Summary

California's assault weapon ban hinges on the definition of a 'fixed magazine,' which requires a device to be permanently attached and removable only by disassembling the firearm's action. The DOJ has rejected devices like the 'fify' if they don't feed ammunition from the actual magazine well.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does California's assault weapon ban define a fixed magazine?

California regulations define a fixed magazine as an ammunition feeding device permanently attached to a firearm, requiring disassembly of the firearm's action for removal. This is a key component of the state's assault weapon ban for semi-automatic centerfire rifles.

What was the 'fify' device and why did the DOJ reject it?

The 'fify' was a device designed to make a magazine removable only after disassembling the firearm's action. The DOJ rejected it, stating the magazine wasn't in the actual magazine well and didn't feed ammunition, thus deeming it a non-functional dummy device.

How could a Gilboa Snake AR-15 potentially comply with California's ban?

The Gilboa Snake's dual magazine wells offer a unique solution. By installing a legally recognized fixed magazine in one well, the firearm could theoretically meet the 'fixed magazine' requirement, while the second well could accept a standard detachable magazine.

What are some examples of fixed magazine devices mentioned for AR-15s?

The video mentions the CompMag, which fixes a magazine and requires loading through a side port, and the Franklin Armory DFM, which inserts from the top and cannot be removed from the bottom without significant disassembly of the firearm's action.
