Way back, CA had a problem with cheap Saturday night specials. In response, they created the safe handgun roster, which required manufacturers to pass certain tests and have certain features. The roster bankrupted these cheap gun manufacturers. But then politicians discovered they can now create a de facto gun ban by using the roster to prohibit most guns from being sold in CA. The upshot was that we could no longer get the latest guns. Even improvements to the gun caused them to be removed from the roster. Politicians figured out how to pervert this law so that we could not get the latest (and ironically, the safest guns) because of the safe handgun roster.
However, there was a single shot exemption (SSE) written into the original law for sport shooters. Enterprising gun dealers figured out how to use this exemption on most every gun that was not on the roster. So even though the roster was onerous, we could at least still get guns that were not on it by paying extra to convert them to SSE and then convert them back to normal after we took possession.
Recently, a Democrat decided that we were all criminals for using SSE the way we were to buy off-roster guns. I'm sure he did extensive research showing that criminals would go through the extra hoops and costs in buying rare non-CA guns that can easily be tracked back to them.
As a result, every CA gun collector has been buying stuff on their gun bucket list because we will soon be limited to only the guns on roster for the foreseeable future.
