Assult weapons ban expired?
I talked to a buddy of mine last night and he said that the AWB is expiring on the 15th? I thought this was federal. Does it affect Kalifornia? He's so exited, it's funnay.

i don't believe it, but if that's the case there's a couple of firearms I'll be picking while I can (H&K USP Tactical (which is an assault weapon by dint of the threaded barrel to take a suppressor) DE 50AE)

It's true - existing ban expires on Monday, hopefully it won't be different for CA residents!

I know that California also has state-level assault weapons bans. Sigh, too much to hope for I guess. Since, after all, the bad guys always follow the laws, and never would use an illegal firearm!

even if the ban expires, and isn't replaced, pistols like the H&K USP Tactical and Mark 23 prolly won't make it to the cali market, because they're not on the Cali-approved list, and its doubtful that H&K will submit them for the required testing...

Yes, that's correct. I heard of something like this too. I think if they don't draft up a new ban on assault weapons, they will become legal once again.
California has many laws other states don't though, so I can't say for sure. Also, they run the show for our beloved state so the state's ban may still continue onward.
Go to Texas or something for some serious rapid fires! haha
