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

How? Ammunition Registry.

To soon yet to say how it'll pan out but it's a possibility.

Quote:
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.

I've heard about this awhile ago. I think it's completely idiotic for three reasons:

1.) This is just going to drive people to make their ammo purchases out of state. You do not have to be a resident of another state to buy ammo in it.

2.) They're going to lose some tax revenue.

3.) There are many sportsman like my father who really don't pay attention to this stuff. My dad goes upland bird hunting or deer/elk hunting on occasion. The instant people like him ahve to start registering ammo, it's going to get their attention.

I know for fact that If... no scratch that... WHEN this passes, ill probably be buying ammo for relatives. Just this year, I've already purchased almost 750 rounds of handgun ammo so my mom can get her practice in, because the stuff is nearly a dollar a round over there according to her.


As an aside, you can find a complete list of draconian PRC shennigans here:
( All 2013 Gun Legislation )

As for being the most strict, we'll see. The super progressive areas seem to be in a competition with one another as to who can take the biggest crap on peoples constitutional rights.

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.

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".

Yep the axe is almost ready to descend here in Massachusetts too. There are a raft of anti-2A bills from liability insurance to outright bans working their way though the legislature.

Do yourself a favour laddie, when you have a black day, don't open up GT, stick to the Flightsim forum or General Games. It just ain't worth it.
