California Ammo Status?


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if there are any court challenges pending on California's 2019 law requiring background checks for ammo purchases...?  :huh:

 

That one just scares me.  :(

I'm NOT being dismissive and it is NOT my intention to offend ANYONE!!  My recommendation is for those of you who are weary of the idiotic nature of California's 2A destruction to move somewhere else and encourage those who are happy there to secede from the Union and go on with their departure from our Constitutional existence!!

 

If you love what is happening there, I'm happy for you!!  Happiness is to be treasured!!  If Tennessee were to do what California is doing, I'd be loaded up and gone so fast that half the state would follow me like feathers in a breeze due to the vacuum I'd create with my departure!!  Don't throw the stand and fight line at me!!  I've stood and fought, but when it gets to the point that you folks have reached, it's time for an organized retreat and to find a position of strength that will sustain you and your life choices!!

A simple concept that does not translate so easily into reality.  Most of us are still here because of not-easily-broken ties...  careers or jobs that cannot be taken or transferred elsewhere, property, and most important, family.  

 

And plain old stubbornness.  Kind of an Alamo mentality.  B'sides, the b*stards would LOVE it if we all ran away.  

 

And never forget... it COULD happen where you live.  A reminder:  In the year 2000 it was reported that only one of every 11 adults in this state at that time were native Californians.  I'm one of 'em, and I can tell you that the collective values of the population here is absolutely nothing like they were when I arrived.

Yeah I am not overly close with most of my family but at least by staying on the west coast I am only 2 to 3 hour flight from visiting my mom or grandparents.  But I also don't have the same objections to liberal California politics that some of you fellas have ;)

this IS a "liberal California politic."

I didn't say I liked em all.  Having not lived in CA for almost a decade I really wasn't up on regulation regarding firearms.  The last time I went down for a visit I was in Bass Pro Shop (that place is impressive) and had a conversation with a couple of gents about what is and is not allowed.  It sort of blew my mind, no pun intended.

Well if you don't become active and PDQ; your current state of residence is going to have the same draconian firearms laws that your previous state of residence currently has.

They are all perfectly reasonable:

Our senior Senator knows that it's legal to hunt humans:
 

 

 

Our State Senate Pro Tem knows that a semi-auto can fire 3600 rounds a minute:
 

 

 

They know that thugs who use guns to aid in the commission of a crime are really just misunderstood and victims of society, and shouldn't have the book thrown at them for the honest mistake of threatening someone with a gun, or even shooting someone, in order to commit rape or robbery:  http://www.dailynews.com/2017/10/18/californias-gun-safety-sham/

 


Back to Kevin "Ghost Gun" de Leon, who is an expert on firearms and firearm law:
 

 

 

Back in 2004 Assembly Paul Koretz, D-Hollywood (now retired and is a Los Angeles city councilman) during a hearing on his bill to designate any .50 BMG firearm an "assault weapon" was asked how much he knew about the .50 BMG rifles.  His response was "Oh!  I don't know anything about them, I just know they are bad."

These people are quite typical of the liberal California politician.  Their supporters are even more ignoran

(If I wanted to go further afield and off topic, I could bring up the $100,000,000 being set aside for college tuition for illegal aliens, "sanctuary state" status to draw in even more illegal aliens, the 12 cent/gallon -20 cents for diesel- fuel tax and almost doubling of car registration to pay for fixing the roads and bridges, things we have been taxed for decades on and not seen any results so far.  But that would be going beyond the scope of this sub-forum, so I won't go into those things)

Joe,

 

That is a very good explanation as to why liberal politics in California are beyond ignorant and they actually fail everyone. I'm sure your post could have lasted for pages and pages. That's the sad part, that there is more than enough liberal political atrocity on which to comment. 

 

My wife and I frequently discuss moving from our current state somewhere else upon retirement. I will NOT move to a blue state. She now has a list of places where we cannot live in retirement because I refuse to willingly become a victim of what liberal politicians can and will do to your freedoms. And some of those states otherwise are absolutely wonderful places. Extreme liberal politics have indeed chased many many people away from their homes in some of these states and have chased many many businesses to more business-friendly states. It's incredibly sad to see liberal politics ruining otherwise very fine places. 

 

I know several people who have moved from California to get away from it all; the overpopulation of protected illegals, the taxes, draconian gun laws, failing public school systems, etc. All reasons stated to me by people who just want to live in freedom not under the thumb of constant liberal policy attempting to change a United States state into a socialism.

Being a retired cop and working behind the counter of a gun store every day I can see the usefulness of instant background checks and some other gun-related laws prohibiting felons, crazies among others from possessing firearms. As far as CCW restrictions, assault weapons bans, bump stocks and their silly as heck NFA rules.....I do not agree, I do not consent.

 

Except for those narrow rules I listed, NONE of their dang gun laws do a thing except interfere with good citizens rights. NONE of those laws make anyone safer nor are they intended to; its about CONTROL, not safety.

 

No more.

The law can not be challenged, until it goes into effect.

Are you sure about that, Lumpy...?

 

I thought judges could block rules from becoming effective if suits were filed with compelling arguments...  

 

But what the heck do I know.

Here is another example of our, o, so superior liberal politicians:
 

 

Who cares about the Constitution?
