CA AB 232 Ting 2014 - gun buy back programs

[MA5177]

I find it funny how they only put them in the ghetto's

[rootuser]

And the saddest thing of all is that with a Super Majority in the Assembly and Senate ALL these stupid and unconstitutional bills will pass and be unable to be VETO'ed.
We are truly screwed

Unable to be given a veto? Why is that exactly?

[Cactus_Tim]

A veto can be over-ridden by a super majority.
I believe a 2/3rds vote is what it takes.

[JimWest]

Not sure how this is unconstitutional, even though it is a bad bill.

Well, I was hoping. My point is that giving these fools carte blanche to spend tax dollars on ineffective programs is as irresponsible as letting them use it for personal reasons. Petitions, taxpayer organization suits or legal code can't stop this?

Eeez eat uh zeecrit?

I usually find out about them on this site, or in the UT. Keep your eyes peeled!

[Pmoore87]

in other words your tax dollars will be going to the Brady Campaign

Some of will come from our DROS money too correct? This is just infuriating. I do not want my money going to the brady idiots. This is a murder weapon disposal service on a grand scale. Gang Banger straw buy's a Hi Point, commits a murder, get almost all the money for the Hi point back and does it again and again. Our politicians are morons. At least my district has good people in it. Yay for the Gaines!

[Decoligny]

anyone ever heard of these "public auctions" they speak of?

Most likely only accepting bids from rebar manufacturers who will melt down the guns as scrap steel.

[a1c]

Brown will veto this if it ever hits his desk.

[ShockBros]

well, how do you find out about these? I always hear about them on the news after the fact...

I've been hanging on to a badly damaged 308 bersa thunder waiting to get some cash for it. Now since it's off roster i'm thinking about contacting the manufacturer about replacing the frame.

Since the lower receiver is the "firearm" I have a couple crappy poly lowers I would love to get my money back on!

There's been 7 since W.W.II. 2/3 of both houses is required to override.

[TheBest]

Apparently it's dead - did not get out of the house of origin!

But it's okay to vote democrat in CA and still claim to be a supporter of gun rights.
