I live in California but I want a semi-automatic M-4 or AR-15. How do I get one ? Can I get one legally ?

NO.
Kalifornia gun laws are designed so that even if you legally own a gun that becomes banned, you can then never transfer it to ANYONE. Not even your family. It has to be turned over to the authorities for destruction. That goes for "assault weapons", like the AR-15, hi-cap mags, and handguns not on the DOJ "drop-test" list.
When I lived in Kali I found that pretty much the only legal .223 semi-auto rifle I could get was a Ruger Mini-14. I'm sure there are others, but it can't have a detachable magazine and a pistol grip (only one or the other). That cuts down on your options. There are a bunch of other features that qualify as "assault weapon", like a bayonet mount, grenade launcher mount, thumbhole stock, detachable or collapsible stock, etc. To be legal in Kalifornia a semi-auto rifle cannot have any two of those features. Go to the Kali DOJ site for more detailed info.

also, there was a federal law the recently wasnt renewed and it had something to do with "assualt weapons". what did the failed renewal allow people to do ?
i am so pissed i missed a chance to buy a baret .50 at turners about a year ago. i guess they are all banned now too
Property values have gone through the roof out here. I purchased a 1-1/4 acre lot for my mother and father-in-law for $130,000 last July a year ago, I sold it 9 months later for $275,000. Not bad for nine months! Friggin' capital gains! [xx(] .50BMG are banned in Kalifornia and a few other states. Not here, BOOM!

CA is the worst , most states are beter. Stay out of NY, MA, CT, NJ, OH. Maybe sum more but that's a start.

Why was Ohio included in this list? I live in Ohio, and have had no trouble

For you in Kalifornia, NOTHING. Kali already has its own state-wide "assault weapons" ban that is permanent and will never sunset.
For those of us in some other areas of the country, it allowed us to purchase certain hi-cap magazines and to modify our rifles with certain features that were banned between 1994 - 2004, or to purchase a rifle with such modifications.

I think I'm the reason for that, HVoF.
I live here, too, and I ripped on our state for having the most pathetic shall issue CHL in the country, the fact that our cities think state law doesn't apply to them (Kolumbus, Cincinnazi, Dayton sector, and behind the Glass Curtain, for example), the 31 round magazine limit for semi-autos that magically turn them into smeiautomatic machine guns, and the fact that we have no conservative representatives in the Senate, despite having both of them Republikans, and the same goes for that good-for-jack-s#!t Governor of ours, too.

Those who would offer any interpretation that would relegate Amendment II to "relic" status of a bygone era are blatantly stating that the remainder of the Bill of Rights isn't worth a damn, either.

I will agree that the CHL that is on the books is pathetic. I plan on moving back into Kentucky within the next year so I don't have to worry about it

The possession of 32+ round magazines is not illegal, but if you mate it up to a gun, it is technically a felony (one that I conveniently overlook, the same way local sheriffs do, unless the gun is used in a crime.)

I'm often wrong, but on this issue, I believe the gun can be transfered to another CA resident in a FTF FFL-recorded transaction. The handgun is still held ten days.

No. Pursuant to California Penal Code section 12285(b), any person who obtains title to a registered assault weapon by bequest or intestate succession shall, within 90 days, render the weapon permanently inoperable, sell the weapon to a licensed gun dealer who has a permit from the Department of Justice to purchase assault weapons, obtain a permit from the Department of Justice to possess assault weapons, or remove the weapon from this state.

Effective January 1, 2001, no handgun may be manufactured within California, imported into California for sale, lent, given, kept for sale, or offered/exposed for sale unless that handgun model has passed firing, safety, and drop tests and is certified for sale in California by the Department of Justice. Private party transfers, curio/relic handguns, certain single-action revolvers, and pawn/consignment returns are exempt from this requirement.
