Glimpse Into the Future of Appeasement
I noticed that California and New York, two states who already have draconian gun laws, are proposing even more gun laws in response to a shooting that didn’t take place in their state involving a weapon both states already ban.
Apparently, the past gun control laws are still not restrictive enough to satisfy the mob there. I’m sure this next round will be the end of the impositions though. I mean otherwise you might start getting the idea this was less about “common-sense gun control” and more about punishing people for holding different beliefs from the majority. |

The problem is "common sense gun control" also uses the goal of "not ONE more" Even very near total bans and confiscation such as Australia have failed to meet this goal.

Neither state has the RKBA in their state constitutions.

So honestly, like it or not, CA and New York effectively bans AR15s as originally designed and as preferred to be carried. |

Appeasement??
I enjoyed the movie "Darkest Hour" recently. While the movie certainly did not flatter Winston Churchill very much,it did portray the appeasers (Halifax and Chamberlain) vs " We will Never Surrender" Winston Churchill. Interesting movie. |

California recently proposed 10 new gun laws, some of which are duplicative of federal law such as the lifetime ban for misdemeanor domestic violence, and others retreads such as a complete semiautomatic rifle (and possibly pistol) ban that was proposed last year but did not make it out of committee. One bill will require that the rifles not required to be registered under the law that went into effect this year (i.e. featureless rifles) will have to be registered under the proposed law as "assault weapons." Once a firearm is registered as an "assault weapon," it cannot be transferred to anyone else by any means within the state, and can only be transported unloaded and in a locked container between the home and the range. It will also prohibit the sale of any new semiauto rifles. To make the intent clear, a companion bill will prohibit the importation or sale of critical parts (I don't know which ones; I assume that this will include 80% lowers, though whether it will also include uppers and fire control group parts I don't know at this point.)

Of course, FL just passed the age restrictions on firearms purchases, and the leftists are already stating that this is only the first step in making their state safe! Where's the barf smiley when you really need it?

Since the FL laws were passed with the cooperation of 'conservatives', isn't it time that the 'leftist' line be seen as functionally useless. The Good ol' leftists of GWB, Romney and Bob Dole (for instance) were all for the AWB. Leftist Senator Rubio - remember him.
So here's a hint, you get nowhere with this rhetoric. It's fun for the choir but useless. Discuss progun and antigun folk. I don't see anything more useful in this. Closed.
