The California State Senate agrees with Charlie Rangel that they “deserve” to own guns but the citizens do not!
They voted 28-8 to exempt themselves from the gun-control laws that apply to the rest of the California.
You think maybe this will cause Californians to rise up? NOPE! It happened 5 years ago and since California has passed a plethora of other gun laws…that only apply to citizens.

Yes, you heard me right! The exemption was created in 2011 and the California legislature has passed a number of gun laws since. Pretty easy when you are passing bills that do not apply to you!
It is not the only special privileges California legislators provide themselves!
They do not pay red light camera bills or for gasoline!
How does it all happen so easily in California? The Washington Post explains:
Attempts by a handful of reformers to require politicians to provide a full annual disclosure of the benefits received from the public treasury have been rebuffed. Currently, government officials must file a statement of economic interests revealing income from any source other than a local, state or federal government agency. Gifts worth more than $50 also must be disclosed, but lawmakers rejected a bill that would have prohibited acceptance of concert and sporting event tickets, gift cards, spa treatments, golf outings and other benefits from lobbyists trying to buy votes.
Bills of this nature never meet an honest fate in which roll-call votes put members on the record as favoring or opposing each idea. Instead, reform measures are held in committee to die quietly as legislative deadlines pass. As of last week, it’s effectively impossible for a bill to become law if it hasn’t already passed in at least one of the chambers.
…and it just goes on and on!

Red Skelton said so eloquently in his commentary on the Pledge of Allegiance:
And to the Republic — A Republic: a sovereign state in which power is invested into the representatives chosen by the people to govern; and the government is the people; and it’s from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people.
California has it backwards, they are running with the method of “from the leaders to the people”
That is why I joined the 5 Million people who have fled California within the last decade.
You can take me out of Texas in a pine box, and even then I will be kicking and screaming!
I honestly do not understand the citizens of California for putting up with the crap there, and not replacing its "leaders ".
Very stirring speech by Mr Skelton. The statists, goose steppers, & waffen ss will not like Mr Skelton's speech !!! TFB !!

You and your yellow journalism. The article is a lie.
Back in 2011, the California senate introduced SB610 concerning concealed carry. Citizens were required to show "good cause" for a permit, but anyone who was a member of Congress, a statewide elected official, or a Member of the Legislature was exempt from this requirement.
That exemption was deleted from the bill prior to passage.

Me? I wasn't the one who posted fake news. Ask Stoner for his proof that this story is true.
After he provides it, I'll give you my link.

Fred, as you can see, I posted an article from an online source. For some reason, Whitey does not like it. So, he is the one claiming it is "fake news ". Therefore he should produce the proof that it is "fake".
Damn, he is starting to sound like a Democrat / Hillary / Obama supporter.
Who would have thought?
If he has a problem with the validity of the article, he should take it up with the site & the author.
I guess he has a burr up his ass for some reason, and is wanting to play some kind of childish games ??
That being the case, I am not going to waste my time with a child! If he can prove it is a fake story, again he should take it up with the author & the site. I am willing to listen to his proof. Otherwise, I am done here.

It took me 60 seconds to find the first one….I never bothered to look for more.
Great Scott….man!He said he “made it simple to look up.”
None of you should need to be “spoon fed info.”
Google can be your best friend….don’t let it become such a stranger.
I would check first and then think twice before challenging misterwhite, if I were you.
... and thank the good Lord, I am not you.

They never will.
They will simply find something they want to believe.
They will believe something because it supports their agenda while reinforcing their firm convictions.
The will NEVER fact check anything.
Nothing will change that.
Nothing …

Has anyone apologized for being ignorant?
Or bothered to thank misterwhite for properly educating them?

These bull-headed ignorami never fact check before they post.
They simply find information that fits their agenda and instantly post it.
When they are proven to be wrong, they never admit it or apologize.
They either go into the spin mode, escape from the thread,
or inject a new link into the thread as a response to divert the discussion.
They are all so predictable….they will never change.
Its amusing to pull their chains by lambasting them with facts.
