California Legislature Following New York
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-...aws-in-nation/
California politicians are jellous of those in NY and plan to ram a slew of draconian legislation down the throats of California gun owners including limits on ammunition posession, hollow points, all semi autos with detachable mags etc. What these fools don't realize is they are requirring guns that are more dangerous to use safely by making the guns harder to load/unload. They really don't care about what makes a gun safer to handle by the user if it can make it faster to reload. They will stop at nothing to restrict the rights of the people even if the laws are unconstitutional and waste the time of the courts. The bill of rights is supposed to protect us from this sort of stupidity. The "minority" should always be protected from mob rule if legislators honored the constitution. California politicians are moving towards the English Model...... Just give em 5 more years. |

They want to pay for someone to drive out to my house and count my ammo?
Gee, officer- I only have these two 12-gauge shells. That's all I need! Joe Biden even said so!

They plan on banning bullet buttons too. How can they get away with this?
And more importantly how can they enforce any of this? Edit: Most importantly what will happen to those who have these weapons and are retroactively made illegal?

Fortunately while many if not most of these loony proposals will pass the legislature only a few will get signed into law by the governor - this time. Unfortunately the odds are that after the 2014 state election absolutely anything and everything anti-gun that they can think up will become law. The legislature is well aware that California courts including California based federal district courts will ignore the 2nd Amendment and the Heller decision for as long as humanly possible and force gun owners into an expensive never ending series of lawsuits and appeals as they continually legislate around any Supreme Court decisions that go our way. Basically Chicago's tactics applied state wide.

Like I said in another thread, It is of our utmost interest to have a supreme court ruling regarding these rifles, ammo laws, and magazine capacity as soon as possible. The quicker these laws are ruled on, the more likely we can defeat them.
It's harder for SCOTUS to strike down an old law than a new one.

Just fail to see how there could be ANY way to go around the Heller decision though regarding the logic of AWs and Magazines.

Judges these days are psuedo politicians. Just assume if there is a way to screw it up for gain, they will. We really do need something in front of the supreme court to get this hammered out once and for all.

In another egregious example we have been waiting since 2010 for a judge in Palmer v DC to even bother to rule one way or the other on the right to bear with no hope of getting anything out of him within our lifetimes. He knows the longer he delays ruling against us the longer we have to wait to file an appeal so he just refuses to rule one way or the other. http://wiki.calgunsfoundation.org/in...ct_of_Columbia

Our legislature refuses to be second on the stupid scale. Dumb and dumber.

And we now have a horse race to the bottom of the trash can. I find it amazing that politicians are trying to out do each other in writing bad law.

These "I can write a gnarlier anti-gun law that you can" competitions between NY and CA are going to work out in our favor.
The more blatantly unconstitutional it is (and banning guns that have reloadable magazines is insanely unconstitutional, as is 7-rd mag limits) the easier for us to overturn with SCOTUS. When your opponent is grabbing for enough rope to hang himself, what do you do? You give it to him.... |

This is BS !!! I'm so sick of the left coast .

What the antis are mad at when it comes to the bullet button is , it changed the firearm from one with a detachable mag to a fixed mag . Because the AR15 now has a fixed mag it is exempt from all the other AWB restrictions like flash hiders forward grips folding stocks . For that I like the bullet button . The bullet button in NO WAY helps you change your mags faster > We must stop this term and definition from being used and believed by anyone that votes .
