    First they came for the Assault Weapons, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was a lazy voter and left it up to others.
    Then they came for the Magazines, and I did speak out—
    But I blamed the Cops.
    Then they came for the semi auto handguns, and I spoke out again—
    But I was still blaming the Cops.
    Then they came for Law Enforcement firearms/weapons—and was no one left to speak for Them.
    Because I (and most everyone else) had placed the blame and focused on the wrong people for too long.

    fixed it for you

      Great except that LE took the exemptions because it didn't affect them. Had they stood shoulder to shoulder with firearms owners in the state we might not be where we are today and they wouldn't be looking at the same.

        Because LE is such a huge voting block in CA.

        The truth is that firearms owners in this state didn't and still don't stand shoulder to shoulder, and many, even on this forum, continue to vote for and support democrats. But lets blame LE because it's easier than accepting the truth.


        Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups

          Exactly and Exactly!!!

          A website chosen at random when searching "how many law enforcement officers in California"
          Law enforcement is funded largely at the local level, and almost half of California’s sworn officers work for municipal police departments. Staffing levels ticked up in 2024.

          Excerpt:
          "Almost half of California’s law enforcement officers work for municipal police departments.
          In 2015 there were more than 118,000 full-time law enforcement employees in California; roughly 77,000 were sworn law enforcement officers (with full arrest powers) and 41,000 were civilian staff. About 48% of sworn officers were municipal police officers, 39% were county sheriff officers, and almost 10% were with the California Highway Patrol (CHP). About 3% were employed by other agencies, such as university, port, and transportation districts and the State Department of Parks and Recreation."

          A website chosen at random when searching total number of registered voters in California"

          Excerpt (Oct 5, 2016)
          "There are now more registered voters in California than the population of 46 states
          (Mark Boster / Los Angeles Times)
          California last month hit a new record of more than 18.2 million registered voters, as state elections officials say registration continues to surge."

          And let's not talk about or point any fingers at the idiots in government (again, voted/kept in by whom???) who are the ones coming up with all the stupidity and idiocy to begin with!!!

              Been saying that very thing for years. But, I am hoping with this latest round of stupidity, gas tax & registration increases, that some of them will wake the hell up and quit voting party line.

                  I've tried to say over and over again that we don't have the political power that everyone seems to think we have. I don't know where this idea came from. There are only about 1 million sworn officers nation wide.

                  AB 3131 is still retarded though.

                    I believe that in part the LEO exemption is how they believed appeased part of the population when they enacted these unconstitutional laws in the first place.

                    Trickster is spot on though. The gun owners in this state would rather watch reruns of the family guy than write letters, form grass roots groups and donate a bit of money toward 2A issues.
