A group of bills moving through California's assembly and senate--including one to create a database for ammunition purchases--could create the strictest gun control laws of any state in the union.
According the San Jose Mercury News, the bills being heard in the state senate on August 12 would create a database of all ammo purchases in the state, "make it crime to have a gun that's not locked up when it's not being carried, and extend the time for which someone is banned from owning a firearm after making a violent threat."
On August 13, another slate of bills will come before the State Assembly. These would ban all semi-automatic rifles with a detachable magazines, would "make it a crime to leave a gun unlocked when you're out of the house, and require those who own high capacity magazines to get rid of them."
A bill adding a 10 percent tax to all ammunition purchases is still moving through the legislature as well, although it seems to have lost momentum.
Gun control groups like the Violence Policy Center in Washington, D.C. are hoping that California's new gun control laws will spur Congress to pass more gun control as well.
But National Shooting Sports Foundation's senior vice president and general counsel Larry Keane says that is not going to happen: "While [gun control advocates] may try to reignite their lost momentum, I don't think anything California does is going to affect what Washington does."
Notice that i didnt use the word "ban"? I bet you didnt.
Liberals don't do well with problem solving do they? I think it has something to do with reduced mental capacity. I really do hate to ask this question but here goes.
What is this going to do to stop evil people from using guns to kill people?
Please don't use the words Bush or Racist in your reply.

Just another reason for more people to move out.
""make it crime to have a gun that's not locked up when it's not being carried" then they can be held responsible when one of their finest breaks into a house and the owners cannot defend themselves because the gun is locked up and one of the people living there is murdered.
A crime to not lock up your gun? What next will the government create centralized gun safe locations where you have to lock up and drop off your arms when you aren't carrying them? More crazy idiotic BS that won't reduce crime but hamper honest citizens ability to defend themselves from criminals. The liberal way.

Hmmm, while to totally disagree with what the State of California is proposing, I have to ask, isn't this exactly what you STATES RIGHTS advocates wanted, States making their own rules? Oh, you mean it should only apply when the rules go Your way, got it.

Isn't it amazing how these people manage to completely ignore the Constitution?
