California lawmakers launched a full frontal assault on the state’s few remaining Second Amendment freedoms by passing more gun restrictions and magazine bans out of committee on Tuesday.
The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) described the April 19 assault as “GunMeggedon,” and warns that gun control in California is poised to pass a point of no return.
Ten gun control bills were under consideration, eight of which survived their first vote and now move “to their respective Appropriations Committee.”
FPC reports what the “GunMeggedon” bills do:
AB 2510 eliminates uniformity for CCW permits, putting permit holders and law enforcement at greater risk.
SB 880 immediately bans and forces the registration of millions of semi-automatic weapons in common use.
SB 894 mandates lost and stolen reporting within five days and penalizes individuals for reports that are turned in even a day late.
SB 1006 allows the University of California to conduct biased gun violence research.
SB 1037 extends the statute of limitations on certain non-violent firearms related crimes, mostly having to do with paperwork.
SB 1235 is a measure that we believe will eventually include mandatory ammo tracking and purchase permits.
SB 1407 is De Leon’s version of the “Ghost Gun” ban.
SB 1446 bans all “standard” capacity magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
KCRA quotes FPC’s Craig DeLuz explaining that none of the above measures will check criminal behavior, but rather will make it even more difficult for law-abiding citizens to keep and bear guns for self-defense.
“Not one of the laws that are being pushed today makes Californians safer,” DeLuz said. “All they do is put restrictions — in many cases very unreasonable restrictions — on law-abiding citizens.”
The accuracy of DeLuz’s assessment is clear from proposals like SB 1446, which prohibits law-abiding citizens from owning magazines larger than “10 rounds.” In 2014, disturbed student Elliot Rodger used only 10-round magazines to carry out his mass shooting near the University of California at Santa Barbara.
The failure of universal background checks and firearm registration in California — driven home most recently by the December 2, 2015 San Bernardino terrorist attack, in which the guns used had been purchased legally — also highlights the weakness of SB 1235, a bill that would create a similar background check and registration system for ammunition.
At this point in time, there should not be anybody still in commifornia with two or more brain cells to rub together.
Anybody still in that damn state is effing STUPID !!!

At this point in time, there should not be anybody, (whether still in California or not) with two or more brain cells to rub together, who believes that these unconstitutional 'laws' will ever be enforced, even if they are passed.
Anybody still in that state of mind is effing STUPID !!!

True. But the point is that it is effing STUPID to stay in a state that its legislature thinks this way, and trys to pass such legislation. If they do, what other dumbass shit will they do? Even non gun related.
Anyone that stays there, sooner or later will be subjected to something detrimental to them. When it happens, and you are still there, WAH, WAH, WAH, WAH, WAH !!
Anybody still still there, is effing STUPID !!!

No, it is STUPID to tell millions of conservative Californians to leave their home state because they are being outvoted by a bunch of invasive socialists. Eventually, we will make them come to their senses.
Rave on.. It's the stupid thing to do...

It's all bullshit.
When a criminal is caught, the first thing the prosecutor does is plea bargain away the gun violations in return for a guilty plea. Look at the convictions and you won't see anything about guns.
They do that in Chicago all the time.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Well, that confirms my suspicion. You live in Commifornia.
That explains your stance. You do not want to admit to being stupid.
You should take your own advice: " Rave on.. It's the stupid thing to do... " as you have so eloquently proven.

Millions of us conservatives live in California, fighting socialism, you 'confirmed' idiot.
By the way, are you aware that you're stealing grandislands usual thunder by ranting about communism in California? -- How's it feel to be as stupid as he?

It is painfully obvious that your comments are highly dubious, without merit, and are irrelevant, immaterial, and to continue discourse with you is a complete waste of time.
At one time I used to read your posts, and frequently agreed. I will have to reassess any further comments you make.
Enjoy your stay in hell.

No, not at all. IMHO, they should fight against all un-constitutional moves.
It does not appear they are having any success in that regard in CA.
But, sooner or later, one must face facts, and reality. In CA, they are grossly out numbered, and are losing ground, and no sign of hope.
When a ship is sinking, and there is no hope of repairing the damage, the choice is simple, man the lifeboats and abandon ship, or go down with the ship. Or, if your house is on fire, and you have no chance of putting the fire out, you can either get out, or burn up in the fire.
I am not a coward, and I am not suicidal. Some apparently are.
What would you do Deck?
If there is a possibility to turn it around out there, some one point it out to me. I don't see it.

How has that been working out for " we "?

Yes, of course - you are correct - after all why fight against tyranny when you are out numbered with seemingly no hope?
The first few years of the Revolutionary War saw major defeats for American forces, who were outnumbered 3-1 by the British army
I'm sure it would have been best if the Americans had just given up.
We should only fight tyranny when it's "convenient" to do so.

" Eventually, we will make them come to their senses. "
It's obvious if you read in context, -- we constitutional conservatives, -- just as I wrote.
Ballot box or cartridge box is the typical answer. --- It'll do.
Just fine, but there is no point in continuing this discussion with you.
"It is painfully obvious that your comments are highly dubious, without merit, and are irrelevant, immaterial, and to continue discourse with you is a complete waste of time." -- to quote a previous idiot.

It's pretty funny watching Stoner try and berate you while you are out fighting on the front lines of battle and he's sitting in his cushy chair at the NCO club sipping a beer.

Unless you are suggesting the conservatives in CA, arm up, attack the state capital, and shoot it out.
Is that what you are suggesting?
