California goes full out bonkers on Gun Control

List of Proposed California Gun Control Measures — 500 Round Max, No Grandfathering, No Detachable Mags, Mandatory License

A press conference just wrapped up in California where the Democrats (who have an overwhelming majority in the state) unveiled their latest gun control agenda. And since the Democratic majority is so strong, these aren’t proposals — it’s a preview of things to come. According to one person who was watching the press conference, the following new restrictions on personal liberties will be coming to the most “liberal” state in the union . . .



Thanks to Reddit:

■Possession of hollow point bullets and similar assault bullets a felony.
■Must register and report ammo purchases. Only purchase max 500 rounds.
■10 round magazine limit
■ALL magazines must be fixed to the gun (can not be removed without the use of a tool)
■100% prohibition of all magazines greater than 10 rounds. All previous grandfathered magazines become illegal. Felony if you keep one.
■Changing definition of shotgun revolving cylinder — Basically only single shot shotguns will remain legal.
■Bullet Buttons will become illegal — All AR and AK style rifles that are currently equipped with them will be designated Assault Weapons. Felony to possess.
■All gun owners now must be licensed like drivers.
■All gun owners must carry gun liability insurance

This is the first time we’ve seen a state try to enact this kind of ammunition posession legislation. Maryland is trying to set up a minimum age for ANYONE to purchase ammo, but California is going leaps and bounds beyond that. From Yahoo! news:


Like New York, California also would require background checks for buying ammunition and would add to the list of prohibited weapons.

Those buying ammunition would have to pay a fee and undergo an initial background check by the state Department of Justice, similar to what is required now before buyers can purchase a weapon. Subsequent background checks would be done instantly by an ammunition seller checking the Justice Department’s records.

And what did the senators have to say about the pending legislation? From the presser:


“We respect the Second Amendment right of law abiding citizens to have guns for hunting, for sport, for protecting their homes and families. But loopholes in California’s tough gun laws have been exploited long enough,” said Senate President pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg. “We can save lives by curbing the proliferation of guns designed to be fired and reloaded rapidly. We can save lives by getting guns and ammunition out of the hands of the wrong people. We can save lives if every gun owner knows how to safely handle those guns. And if we can save lives, we must act to do so.”

So basically California is about to try and implement every single gun control measure on the Democrats’ wish list, with the exception of full confiscation. And thanks to the government of California, there’s just about nothing that can be done to stop it short of legal action. Or armed insurrection.

Hollow points are actually better to fire indoors (if you must) than FMJ's. The FMJ will go through the wall much better than a JHP.

What about the medical marijuana pot growers? How can they protect their crops? lol.

Assault bullets.

I don't believe revolvers would be classified as having a detachable magazine.

There are designs that have detachable wheels for faster reloading as well as speed loading devices.

True. Still draconian though. As I said, good luck with that CA.

Heller: the 2A guarantees the individual right to keep and bear arms.

McDonald: the 2A applies to the states.

I don't see this holding up, regardless of how liberal or left that state is.

Give them what they want. And when story after story keeps coming in about criminals having guns that don't comply with their sets of regulations this will blow up in their face.

The police should also have to comply with these measures.

From what we've seen out of California the last couple days, those dumbasses shouldn't have weapons at all.

And people from Kalifornia wonder why most people from outside their state think they are bat shit crazy.

They have had and it has blown up in their face for years. That doesn't stop the left from trying to punish the law abiding. Heck look at the shitbags from the left that post here. Logic doesn't enter their thought process on guns. They are whipped into an orgasmic frenzy over their hero getting voted in again. If Obama announced that that air is dangerous these groupies would suffocate themselves~

According to a sources they have released the preliminary background design for the license to own guns. Per the law it must be conspicuously displayed at all times.

[CrazyPhuD]

But seriously like I said in the NY version of this, ultimately this a good thing, you don't want them to keep making small incremental regulations that might actually pass legal review on their own.

You want them to go full anal leakage asstard on guns so the courts will have no doubt what the intent is and not only smack down the new laws, but also the old gun controls in the process.

[notorious]

**** them.

Interesting comments on the HuffPo about this. Seems even Liberals know when the bullshit gets to be too high

All I can say is these laws would do absolutely nothing but encourage criminals to use firearms knowing most of their targets won't be carrying anything more than a slingshot

If you live in Kalifornia, I have one word of advice - MOVE. Unless you're a liberal twat who lives somewhere else, they my advice is MOVE TO KALIFORNIA.
