California should drop certified handgun roster

[Mayor McRifle]

Yep, I am now one of Nevada's newest residents! Don't have much use for black rifles, but I think I'll go buy one just because I can. Perhaps I'll hang it above the fireplace as a reminder I am no longer in CA. I also enjoy a decent pay raise since they don't deduct state income tax from my retirement, my vehicle registration is a fraction of what it was in CA and sales tax is 1.5-2% lower. All this bragging is making me hungry, think I'll hit one of the free buffets before I go gun shopping. :-)

No need to hang out and thread crap on a California firearms owners' internet forum then. Best of luck to you. Give them our regards on Nevguns.net.

An opinion piece that I caught in this morning's Daily News. Good read.

I must say though, the 'drop' in the title is a nice touch.

Excellent op-ed piece. We need more of this. A lot more of this. We can no longer afford to sit back and allow the Antis to frame the issue. This is exactly the sort of thing we need to do to start turning the tide of public opinion. I think I'll write a letter to the editor today.

Look at the comments... that's how libtards win. They didnt have to say a single word and gunowners are fighting against each other. So sad.

People love to fight. Ever been to family reunion?

Yep. We will be our own undoing, eventually, and I have no idea how to fix that.

It can't really ever be fixed Ace.
People are involved - 'tis the way of things.

Not sure if op-eds will do much nowadays as it seems all the movement, positive and otherwise, is happening in the courtroom (i.e. Pena).

The only diversion I saw was the California Right to Carry guy, who trolls every positive pro-gun LADN article. It looked like there was one anti, which he helped fuel by mentioning the 'evil' NRA.

I wouldn't exactly call that 'fighting', but sadly infighting is a common theme among this community, and your point is spot on.

yes it is a well argued article.

one question: if the non roster handguns are truly unsafe, why is it LEO are allowed to buy "unsafe" handguns. isnt their job dangerous enough?

The roster is all about power to control the people, disarm the populace, and garner fees from the gun manufacturers to pay for it.

The Constitution has become toilet paper to politicians not only here in kommiefornia and other states, but our executive branch of the federal government as well.

THIS ^^^^

it has nothing to do with safety or anything close to it. it is an incremental ban period. the author knew it when he wrote it.

and THIS ^^^^

Until people realize it is about money and control and not about "why don't they understand" we will not solve the problem.
The masses need to wake up and understand that there are evil people in this world hell bent on controlling others and all of the logic and reason in this world will not dissuade them from their goal.

[EM2]

I'm still waiting for someone, anyone, to offer a reasoned, cogent explanation as to why a handgun, legal & safe to be sold in 48 other states, is magically unsafe because we happen to be in CA. That is impossible. The roster is the biggest, steaming pile of bull sh#t law ever. I despise it with every fiber of my being

chris just provided your explanation, are you awake yet?

It's the reality of pretty much every 2A rights case in country. Judges have been very slow about making their decisions for these cases, whether it is from procrastination, careful research, or fear of reprisal, we just don't know. Luckily, several cases have been kicking out recently, it seems that judges are getting the idea that the public needs to know where the 2A stands with regards to a myriad of different situations, post Heller and McDonald.

However, expect the cases out of California, DC, New York, New Jersey, and any other liberal stronghold to take the longest to go through the system. They have two things working against cases from them: those areas have very high population densities so more caseload in a given area which bogs down the courts, and they obviously also have the strongest protest from the public and politicians of the area. Even if a judge is a 2A supporter in those areas, they will have the most work to do in order to get a case through their courtroom.
