I don't think the PALs went / will go out the window, we will still require them to buy and own firearms and no doubt having one will "ease" the entrance, with firearms, into Ca. Also, it will be a more gunowner / seller self applied registry - in other words you better know where that gun you just sold went to, especially the ones pre-registered (records destroyed?????). Remeber since about 1974? all firearm sales have been kept track of at the retailers . JMHO --- John Can.
