California could become the strictest Gun Control State in the Union soon

I'm not surprised. CA is it's own country operating under it's own laws and regulations.

Well, it ain't called the Peoples Republic of California for no reason at all.

Also known as the PRK by those that prefer to spell California with a K in reference to the former governator i guess. PRC, PRK, same thing. Other nick names is "Cantaffordya". Or you can combine the two, Peoples Reublic of Cantaffordya. As a former resident, I've earned my stripes to critique the place as much as i want.

San Andreas Fault. We gotz it.

You know some day the "Big one" is gonna hit. I just hope my parents retire and move out of that cesspool before it does. When that earthquake hit's, the aftermath is probably gonna make Katrina look like small potato's. While i'm sure the damage to structures and infrastructures will be great, it's the lawlessness that will ensue that worries me most. Places like Pomona and other inner cities are going to be absolute hell holes, and there will be no escape from the state. The freeways will be all but impassable, trapping everyone there.

Yes, one day it will hit. I'm certain it is monitored closely in hopes of making a prediction when it might happen. Preparing ahead helps in the aftermath.

This reminds me of the flap twenty years ago when someone was proposing putting serial numbers on bullets.


Of course one solution is to get a machine and make your own.

It goes back much further than that. It's likely to make it look more "German" (i.e. "Nazi"). Don't forget the right-wingers who like to spell the former president's name "Klinton". I know Kalifornia predates that.

Similarly, the phrase "Californicate" is a lot older than the recent TV series. Back in 1972 there was a proposal to allow California to build their own dam in Utah to get the electricity they so desperately needed. Utah would have made money off of the deal, but eventually it was voted down. The phrase even then was "Don't Californicate Utah".

Don't laugh, I'm not sure if it made it into law, but last I heard they are putting microstamp requirements on all handguns.

Reloading. I swear most everyone I know has a bench somewhere in their house.

Ok, i stand corrected. I didn't know that.

Don't Californicate Utah? Now there's a slogan and train of thought I can get behind!

I do not mean this any demeaning way towards anyone who lives there...

Why is this state always the benchmark of liberal?

And despite the failures is always emulated by other states.

I am liberal by belief, but ya mess with guns, you may as well revoke the bill of rights as a whole, see how many happy voices there are then.

When you are forced to quarter troops, or drawn and quartering is an acceptable death, no due process, guillty before proven innocent...

Once you lose one, the others will follow.

Don't listen to me though..I am scum

I'm going guess for two reasons:

1. The PRC tends to pass more progressive laws first.

2. Bay area / San francisco. I think somehow it is the posterchild of liberal progressive for varying reasons. Gay rights movement comes to mind, i think it's the cradle of it.

And despite the failures is always emulated by other states.

Which is sad, because the exact opposite should be happening. The state being shown as a shining example of what not to do.

Then among the liberal minded your probably a very small minority. Usually the words "liberal" and "guns" in the same sentence equates to "Anti".

You may find this video interesting.

Being silly. I am always being silly, to the point when I am serious It goes as a non sequitor event.

Anti guns is a test probe, as it is the easiest to take away in our bill of rights.

Liberal? I do not think grandma should starve to feed the banks, that is my liberalness.

Other than that, a free man should be able to do as he pleases as long as it does not infringe on another rights to life liberty, and the pursuit of happyness.

Maybe that is more libertarian or progressive? Not sure.

But not all Libs wish to kill guns.

Actually some of us would like to revoke Guadaloupe Hidalgo(treaty) and give back everything south of Modesto to Atahualpa or his minions; We'd keep the water and skip the Grand Canal to LA! As Pres. TR explained it once "CA is west of the west". By all means visit, spend your money THEN go home! We need to turn the plant inspecton stations into immigration turn arounds; liberal mein arsen!

Meh, California is a province of Mexico already. While I was still living there, you'd see Mexican flags, or the Mexican colors far and away more often then that of the United States.
