No, this is how it works these days and California has a long and illustrious history of trying to back door gun bans. Hell, California produced Reagan who basically banned carry in California because he didn't like Blacks owning guns. Digressing, this is pretty standard. The California DOJ approved handgun roster is continually marching forward towards a de facto prohibition on Handguns in the state, despite the fact that Heller explicitly says you can't do that. They also made a push for 'safety' by trying to state all Handguns need to have micro-stamping of serial numbers on parts like firing pins. Problem is every mechanical engineer, machinist, and metallurgist in the world will line up to tell you that technology dosen't exist and won't any time in the near future.
