California - Countdown To Confiscation: 4...3...2...1

It is down to the wire and the worst of these "Intolerable Acts" have been rammed through, the tyranny is naked and vindictive. From people with non-violent misdemeanor convictions being treated like violent felons and banned from owning firearms,  to a draconian and non-nonsensical total ban on any magazine fed firearms (approx. 90% of ALL firearms in existence), these "laws" are worse than anything the Nazis and Communists ever came up with, and these are being initiated in the supposed "Land of the Free" where these rights are enshrined in the Constitution as protection against government tyranny. The lights of liberty are going out in California, tyranny pushed by scared, cowardly little insectoid excuses for "men"; bullies that gang up like rats and revel in oppressing the honest whom they sadistically enjoy victimizing, while actual violent criminals are not affected at all by these horrors. It is indeed a sickening sight to see these inhuman creatures befouling the seats of government having their way. The are a disgrace, traitors to their oaths and the nation. They define the "Domestic Enemies" that honorable men have sworn unto death to defend this country against... (S9)

The warnings were real. They are now coming for your guns, your magazines, your money, and your home protection. I’m somewhat surprised they are not after your blood, though indirectly they are.

In a move that should have surprised no one, a gaggle of California’s elite (or should I say elitist) legislators dumped a stack of gun control bills into the legislative hopper this session. Together these bills seek to ban detachable magazine rifles (period), ban and confiscate existing factory magazines with capacities greater than ten rounds (period), ban traditional hunting ammunition, ban mail order sales of all ammunition, and require government approval to buy any ammunition at all.

I’ll break down this insanity in a minute, but ponder for a moment how these laws will affect your average gang member.  Thinking … thinking … I couldn’t come up with anything, either.

Not letting a good crisis go to waste, senators mainly from urban areas where guns laws have largely disarmed the public (though not the criminals) dropped a slew of new proposals this year that are designed to completely eliminate some of your rights while chiseling away at the core of the Second Amendment by making exercising your rights excessively burdensome. If passed, there will be confiscations (according to the Senator from Oakland), you will jump dog-like through legal hoops to own a handgun (proclaims the Senator from San Diego) and you will have to say goodbye to your hunting rifles (commandeth the Senator from Sacramento)...

 The Senate’s President (Pro-Tem) Steinberg has authored a bill to eliminate the future sale, purchase, manufacture, importation and possession of semi-automatic rifles that can accept detachable magazines. No more mini-14s, no more ARs, no more M1s, and say goodbye to your Remington 750 for deer hunting. Naturally, Steinberg blames the “gun industry” for “[flooding] our communities with rapid-reload battlefield weapons.” None of Steinberg’s biographies note military service, so perhaps he can be forgiven for not knowing a hunting rifle from a soldier’s best friend. Steinberg’s demonstrable ignorance aside, the goal is clear – if it is a rifle and has a detachable magazine, then forget about owning one....

Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson from the otherwise pleasant town of Santa Barbara wants to redefine firearms in general by inventing the “assault shotguns” classification. Jackson wants to add more shotguns to the list of “bad” guns, despite these firearms rarely being used in homicides. If your shotgun uses a cylinder instead of a tube to store shells, prepare to surrender it, even if both firearms have the same capacity. If you track and hunt with a combo rifle/shotgun, tell your kids they won’t have the privilege to inherit yours. In the same effluvium stream of press fodder, senators specifically equated the “Circuit Judge” sporting arm with the vilified “Street Sweeper”. Somehow the similarity is illusive to everyone outside of Loni’s chambers...

Sadly, there is more. But the battle lines have been drawn. Given their way, you will have to climb legal mountains to protect your family, be licensed to buy ammo should you actually obtain a gun, and forfeit your rifles and shotguns once the definition of “assault weapon” is stretched beyond all rationality...


After September 13, it will then be time to put pressure on the Governor to veto the anti-gun bills that have made it through the legislature. Although it has been rumored that the Democrats have a “supermajority” that will allow them to over-ride a veto...
