Looks like some are starting to wake up

Now we need a few million more to wake up.

With sadness and serious contemplation, I have resigned as a Central Committee member
representing the Fifth District. The Humboldt County Democratic Central
Committee no longer reflects my values or the values of many law
abiding, freedom-loving Democrats I believe still make up the heart of
Humboldt County.

As a former labor representative, I persuaded many voters in the past
to vote for their jobs and lobby their hobby. “Democrat candidates are
not going to take your guns.” AB 174 introduced in the California
Legislature would lead to the confiscation of legally acquired
registered guns.

The Feinstein Bill and California SB 374 redefine “assault weapons”
to include common .22 smallbore rifles used in plinking, target shooting
and competition. I feel betrayed, and worse, I am sorry if I have
unintentionally misled others. Few if any, lives will be saved, by these
ill-conceived proposals.

Please, take the time to check the FBI Homicide Statistics for 2011:
15,953 homicides in the U.S.: 6,220 by handguns, 1,694 by knives or
cutting instruments, 726 by hands, feet, 496 by hammers and clubs, 356
by shotguns (VP Biden’s weapon of choice) and 323 by rifles (.02 percent
of homicides).

Of the 323 murders by rifle, the FBI does not distinguish between
bolt action, lever action, pump, semi-auto or inexpensive .22 caliber
rifles which are more likely to be used in crime then an expensive
$1,500 AR-15 (the most popular target rifle in America) which is on the
proposed ban list.
