SB174... Isn't a crime of violence already illegal? Using an antique firearm will make it MORE illegal???
Yes.
Goofy laws like this serve a couple purposes. They make the people think that something is being done about crime. They give the DA an extra charge to bring against a criminal so they can bargain it away. The give the police an reason to bring silly charges against regular folk. You run a red light and are found to have a gun in the car that becomes felony red light running and you get five years.
