Federal Law can abolish CA Handgun Roster?

[2Bear]

Search fails to show any current threads specifically on this.

Is there hope that changes at the Federal level can result in abolishing the Ca. Approved Handgun roster? (I'm not a religious man, but I can still pray...)

Something along the lines of "Shall not be infringed?" Or what? Any hope?

(Waiting for CA legislature to abolish the nonsense certainly seems dubious at best.)

McDonald to Nordyke to Pena... It really is a chain of dominos, eh?

Pena 10 days after Nordyke, isn't Nordyke remand per McDonald past due?

[ke6guj]

Nordyke was remanded back to the 3-judge panel of the 9th Circuit, and CRPA just filed an amicus brief today, http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...hlight=nordyke

Yup, and each falling domino bumps into at least a couple more side-by-side dominos. Aren't exponents fun?

Congress could pass a law destroying handgun rosters country wide. However, that's not likely in the near term as California's is the only truly onerous one.

I thought MA made ours look good?

Does DC still have a roster that looks suspiciously like ours?

No, they expanded theirs to be combination of several states' so it covers almost everything.

Read: Elections matter.

Is it accurate to say that Heller's is the only model of handgun that the Supreme Court has explicitly ruled is protected by the Second Amendment?

I would suggest that the MA roster alone is more than sufficiently onerous....

...but when you consider the totality of our (MA) hand gun roster plus the AG's "consumer protection" regulations governing the sale of handguns, you have a scheme that far exceeds anything experienced by CA gun owners. Very few new guns are available here. Forget about even new Glock or Taurus pistols.

You may rest assured that we Californians will come to your aid as soon as we are able to. Hold your ground, and we will relieve you when the necessary precedents are laid down. We're all in this together.

No. SCOTUS said "The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for
traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home."

Nowhere did it say that Dick Heller's firearm was a singularly protected model.

Yours was the one that I almost added to my post above. I just wasn't sure and didn't want to jump the gun.

The roster isn't even the worst part. Were we to eliminate that nothing would change. The AG's regs would remain and there is no list of approved or prohibited handguns. The AGs has implemented their regulations through self-certification - the manufacturer certifies their firearm meet the regs and when the gun goes on sale, the AG sues them if they don't agree.
