California law as I understand allowed the grandfathering-in of previously-possessed "assault rifles". CA has banned "assault rifle" sales, with some CA cities having their own statutes. Given this situation, to what degree are these laws being enforced? Anybody up on this topic? Me, I've not read about confiscations nor about a bunch of folk being arrested. Today, I read about such and will give the link below. I attempted searches with differing search engines but have not found any other cases. So, to you folk in the know, please inform me if you have information pertaining to the enforcement of these California laws regarding "assault rifles". Thanks much!

"A Los Angeles County deputy has been charged with unlawfully possessing an assault rifle and tracer ammunition.
" 'While I support the rights afforded to us under the Second Amendment, I also respect the laws of our state. It is illegal to possess an AR-15 assault rifle in California and I expect everyone, including sworn officers, to follow the law," District Attorney George Gascón said. "These weapons have repeatedly led to massive loss of life across this nation and I fully intend to enforce the ban in Los Angeles.'
"Prosecutors charged Garmon with two felonies: possession of an assault weapon and possession of a destructive device."
