CA sues over magazine "repair kits"
Story here. It argues that the repair kits can be used to make banned large cap magazines.

It just further shows how stupid these kinds of laws are.
I can beat a shovel into an AK-47, so I guess shovels should be banned. I can make a zip gun with a nail and metal tubing from Home Depot, so I guess those are out also.
Penal Code makes it a 'wobbler' - possibly misdemeanor, possibly felony - to assemble such kits, inside CA, to a functioning large-capacity magazine; that such a problem is difficult to detect is an application issue, not a legal one.
And, we have a 2005 letter from the AG saying such kits are legal to buy: http://www.hoffmang.com/firearms/DOJ-large-cap-magazines-2005-11-10.pdf, expecially
"Q3: Can you import all the parts of a single hi-cap magazine at once, provided they are unassembled?
A3: Yes."
At last! The solution to their gang warfare problems! Once they enforce this ban, the streets will be safe!!!
Would a suit like this be subject to dismissal under the PLCAA?
