SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Sales of semiautomatic rifles have doubled and sales of handguns have spiked 40 percent in the Golden State ahead of a strict gun control law that will take effect Jan. 1.
Californians will not be able to buy certain weapons, including popular styles of the AR-15, after Dec. 31. The new state law will bans rifles [2] with “bullet buttons.”
Another law that will go into effect bans magazines with more than 10 rounds. It also requires background checks for ammunition purchases.

Apparently, strict gun control measures are very good for business.
