Under California law, I legally owned a SKS rifle. It was legal with a bayonet attached. I could swap the fixed magazine for a detachable magazine. If I did not like the stock, I could swap it to a Monte Carlo (thumbhole) stock. All of these were legal modifications, as well as a host of others \u2014 individually. However, any three from a list suddenly made the rifle an assault weapon. So, I could have a bayonet, but not with a detachable magazine too. Or I could have the detachable magazine, but not with a thumbhole stock. The law made no sense, but who ever accused anti-gun lawmakers of having common sense?<\/p>\n<h2>Prepare Now<\/h2>\n<p>Look for a window, or better yet, before lawmakers levy these (what I believe to be) unconstitutional laws and purchase the guns you want or feel you may need. Secure a supply of 30-round magazines and enough <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/ammunition\/?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=7supth-sup-circuit-court-of-appeals-sides-with-gun-grabbers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ammo<\/a> to fill them. Sure, this may be an exercise in panic buying. However, it may also be your last chance (at least for several years) to own an AR-15 or AK-47, and to adequately feed your rifle or pistol with a magazine of sufficient capacity should the wolf come huffing and puffing at your door in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4 ai-viewport-2 ai-viewport-3\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<!--End of Article Ad for Mobile and Tablet--><br \/>\n<a target=\"\u201d_blank\u201d\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/ammunition\/bulk\/\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/bulk_ammo_ad_mob.jpg?w=640&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" class=\" jetpack-lazy-image\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/bulk_ammo_ad_mob.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3 ai-viewport-1\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<!--End of Article Ad for Desktop--><br \/>\n <img decoding=\"async\" align=\"center\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/rdf_aug23_ad.jpg?w=500&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" class=\" jetpack-lazy-image\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/rdf_aug23_ad.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1\" align=\"center\" px=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p>When it comes to a crisis, it is too late to try and put your seatbelt on before the collision.
