Those guns don't look CA legal to me...and they weren't props.
Awesome commercial though.

But isn't felon in possession a federal thing? I wouldn't think a state law could cover you on that.
This has been discussed to death. Yes, technically hollywood actors like gibson and others are FIP when they film scenes like this but the ATF won't charge them ever. It isn't worth the hassle and let face it, they aren't a danger given the circumstances.
And frankly, if the ATF were to file charges, it would send the wrong message to the public. That being that people who are FIP are not allowed to even possess fake guns. Wanna see the result of that message, look to Australia and England. 'nuff said.
FIP??? Felons in Practice??? Not familiar with the acronym.

Well... the "wrong message" being, of course, that they don't want to send is that the law is completely f**king stupid. The ATF and others want to keep that law around as long as possible, so they can use it opportunistically. They won't ever charge anyone prominent with it because that would draw negative attention to the idiocy of many federal gun laws.

The question is, could you use the fact that the ATF refuses to prosecute when there is overwhelming evidence as part of a defense?

AZ recently passed its own version of a federal law.But CA has it's own version of the federal law.
