The state of California is good for about two things, sunshine and beaches. That’s about it.
The fact of the matter is that when it comes to people that actually give a hoot about their freedoms, that state is at the absolute nadir of people being able to freely exercise their rights without being one shriek of a liberal away from having tomatoes thrown at them by the legislators in that absolute dumpster fire of a state.
I have a good friend that has lived in that state since 2003. He told me during a recent conversation that based on the gun control regulations that the state is trying to pass alone, if he were able to work 100% remotely he would move to another state tomorrow.
The gun regulations in California are beginning to resemble the joke that Dennis Leary used to tell about how a person in the future will only be able to smoke cigarettes in their home with all the lights off.
Now, I am all in favor of things that make sense. However, there are some things that are coming out of California that just defy simple reason
Assembly 2917 was recently approved by the liberal leaning legislature and in short, the measure expands the scope of the state’s Gun Violence Protective Order; allowing law enforcement to issue a gun violence restraining order even if the responded doesn’t even own firearms.
Gee, you would think that telling people that they can’t own guns when they don’t own guns is overdoing it a little bit wouldn’t you say?
The measure also goes onto include the term “other deadly weapons”, which to be perfectly frank here; are the going to include cooking knives? Phone books? Large newspapers?
It’s like the George Carlin joke about beating a guy to death with the Sunday edition of the New York Times.
At what point will the state of California take this vague wording in the measure to just take stuff away from law abiding citizens because they feel like it?
If that isn’t awful enough, SB53 and SB1253 are now under consideration to become law in California.
SB53 particularly has me steamed. SB53 would prohibit firearm possession in the home unless firearms are stored in a, and try not to laugh, DOJ approved lockbox or safe and that also prohibited them unopenable to anyone but the owner.
I hate to tell these lunatics this, but that would be impossible because anyone can get your secret code. Anyone can steal your keys.
Besides, this notion goes totally against a court ruling in DC v. Heller that said storage requirements that make it difficult for gun owners to easily access their firearms is unconsitutional.
I mean, imagine if someone broke into your house and you had to turn a key and enter a six digit code to get your pistol, and then another safe for the ammunition? You’d be dead before you can say two-factor authentication.
SB1253 isn’t as egregious of an insult to gun owners by in it would have prohibited anyone in California from possessing a firearm without a valid Firearm Safety Card.
While I think that everyone that handles firearms should have a relative level of safety training, it’s something that is still a very tricky situation when it comes to the state of California.
The state has been known for years to take what looks like relatively innocuous rules and use them to strip law abiding citizens away from their rights.
If you gave them a rope, they’d want to be a cowboy.
If you are a lover of the Second Amendment, I would either stay away or move out of California.
