(2) Within one day of making or assembling a firearm in accordance
with paragraph (1), the unique serial number or other mark of
identification provided by the department shall be engraved or
permanently affixed to the firearm in accordance with regulations
prescribed by the department pursuant to Section 29181 and in a
manner that meets or exceeds the requirements imposed on licensed
importers and licensed manufacturers of firearms pursuant to
subsection (i) of Section 923 of Title 18 of the United States Code
and regulations issued pursuant thereto.....

(b) An application made pursuant to subdivision (a) shall only be
granted by the department if the applicant presents proof that the
applicant is not prohibited by state or federal law from possessing
or owning a firearm or ammunition, that he or she is 18 years of age
or older, and that the making of the firearm at the place where the
firearm is made does not violate any local regulatory requirements....

(2) This section does not preclude prosecution under any other law
providing for a greater penalty.


Why do WE have to prove we are not criminals --- we cannot prove a negative --- first issue

2nd issue: federal law covers manufacturing of guns

3rd issue -- they ask you to provide information that MAY be evidence in your conviction as they ask for the application AFTER you make the gun.

4th issue --- total BS ... history in the USA is that people are free to make their own firearms

5th issue --- who pays for all this crap? Not the state
