CA legislator bans all Semi Automatic Rifles (radical, lobby, abortion)

[Curmudgeon]

If the Legislature really cares about preserving life they'd also ban, outlaw and/or require regulation and registration, where possible, of the following "murder weapons:"

Knives or cutting instruments
Blunt objects (clubs, hammers, etc.)
Personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.)1
Poison
Explosives
Fire
Narcotics
Drowning
Strangulation
Asphyxiation
Other weapons or weapons not stated

Deal with it: the SCOTUS won't struck down gun control laws in California, NYS, Massachussets, etc etc.



Get real.

Ahh. Yes they will.

Uh huh. Interesting. You can't rationalize this legislation, or come up with any refute to points made against it, so, you just leap and claim intellectual high ground to justify a total lack of factual arguments?

Well, at any rate, sounds like CA is uour paradise. The streets of Frisco are calling you.

I'm not too concerned about a nationwide gun ban of any magnitude or confiscation. They want them? Come take them... Lotsa luck with that.. California has long been the bastion of loons, and this comes as no surprise, but passing a law is one thing. Enforcing the law is quite another.

Gun advocates with these ideas need to stop calling themselves "law abiding citizens". I've heard that term time and again, then read one poster says he took concealed weapons across state lines while others talk about civil war. People with this mentality pick and chose what laws they want to obey and call themselves "law abiding citizens".

One poster said he didn't like how he had to stop at certain borders or parts of the state and lock up his handgun. At least he obeys the law.

If you (gun advocates) don't like certain laws, then change them by the legislative process or vote out the people that made the laws. If you can't, then you have to follow them. If you don't, then don't call yourselves law abiding citizens. You're not.

I agree. I'll be honest, I am not a law abiding citizen.

I am curious how the California law will prevent buying guns in other states, then bringing them into California.

This is war!

It is time to use those very items to rid the opposition to the Constitution.
It is your duty to liberty & the Constitution of the USA.

I don't think the California ban will prevent buying in other states. In most parts of the state, Nevada and Arizona are not far and I have no idea what the gun laws are in those states.

I thought Arizona had pretty liberal gun laws. And by liberal, I mean non-restrictive.

I defer to your good judgment.

Like they say: if guns were banned only outlaws would have guns because they don't obey the law. Sheesh!

Interesting post, but what does it have to do with my comment.
Other than absolutely nothing, that is.

Even in Arizona, where I live, gun sales from a retailer or private party are only permitted between residents of the state. When you buy from a licensed FFL, they check your driver's license first to insure that you are a resident. When you are a private party and doing a face to face, your only requirements are to "not knowingly sell to a convicted felon" and insure that the buyer is a resident of the State of Arizona with a government issued picture ID. If you sell to out of state residents, you MUST transfer the firearm to an FFL located in that state first, prior to the buyer taking possession with a form 4473.
