According to that post (no real credibility) the charges are specific intent crimes http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Specific+Intent
I'm not a lawyer though.
Thanks for the link. Ill read it in just a bit. Im no lawyer either, but i am a bit of a gun nut, and have lived in CA so i am somewhat familiar with the draconian laws regarding firearms.
Ok, while i appreciate the link, that is all an opinion piece, and the guy didnt even get his information right about the DUI charge, unless i missed something, wasnt it later announced that he was never charged with Marijuana?
I was not aware of the specific intent, but i still havent seen anything conclusive as to what he has actually been charged with.
ETA: i dont know how many in here are familiar with CA gun laws, but in CA i beleive even some SKS models (unless c&r(curio and relic) compliant) are indeed considered Assault weapons if not fitted with CA compliant modifications and parts.
For those that dont know what an SKS is, it is a rifle with a fixed ten round magazine that is fed from the top by stripper clips.
So again, my main interest right now is finding out what the "assault rifle" was and what compliant parts it had.
