Nobody wants to take your guns:

Going after almost-never-misused rifles, once again.

California now bans guns that are legal in most of Europe.

Bullet buttons were required based on the grabbers own requirement to have fixed magazines that required a tool to detach and reload.

Once grabbers have UBCs, this kind of legislation always eventually comes next.

That the following the requirements is a loophole and simply obeying the law is getting around it.

To the control mentality I got around the 55 speed limit by using the cruise control loophole

and it never is enough

"And he acknowledged offering to facilitate a multimillion-dollar arms deal for shoulder-fired missiles and automatic weapons with a source tied to Muslim rebel groups in the Philippines – a particularly bizarre and damaging allegation for the staunch gun-control advocate."

...fucking minds. Gov. Brown may veto the lot of them, we'll see. However, if they do pass and are signed there could be some ugly backlash, and certainly expensive and protracted court battles the state will have to pay for.

Indeed. As a Californian, I'm heavily invested here. I have a very close friend who says he'll vote GOP before he votes for The Dishonorable Gavin Newsome. I won't go that far.......but I certainly will not hold my nose and vote for GN.

And as someone on record as having donated heavily to Democrats, I won't be hesitant to send letters expressing my sentiments re. this stupidity.

.. Gavin Nuisance' little ammo initiative withstanding any judicial scrutiny even if the voters approve it. Something about restricting printer's ink and all.....

bit it will take years to get to the courts. in the meantime we Californians will have to put up with these laws. so its better for us if we can keep them from being passed in the first place.

Your tax dollars at work...

We're pushing legislation that accomplishes NOTHING in terms of reducing gun deaths, while giving voters PLENTY of reason to vote GOP!

Damn........are we BRILLIANT or what?!

and with culture war there is never too much money to spend in court.

As California goes, eventually so goes the nation.

....no. Virtually the rest of the country is moving 180 degrees from California when it comes to the Second Amendment and gun rights. In fact, this latest round is so draconian that some serious backlash is likely.

loosening of gun laws. It ain't all roses for gun fetishists.

Ca is a referendum state and when actual voters get the chance things go poorly for gunz.

How many before one may be catagorized as a fetishist?

I'd say that a devotion to "gun rights" (a euphemism for gun worship) or the need to have a gun on one's person when in public and insisting that there be unlimited access to guns anywhere, anytime of any kind represents fetishism. Simple ownership not so much. Last time my gun safe was unlocked was January 2015, at the end of 2014 deer season. Didn't go in the 2015 season.

A genuine collector with dozens or even hundreds of antiques, curios or relics is just that, a collector. A bird hunter with a shotgun or a game hunter with his rifle are seldom fetishistic about their guns.

Defining the 2nd Amendment as a God given right and declaring gun ownership necessary to defeat the Govmint or having to have a gun on your person with a round in the chamber "just to be ready" verges on Agoraphobia and Paranoia.

You're just using it to muddy the waters. And you're failing.

those based on "technical" (biological) ignorance as they do with anti RKBA legislation based on technical ignorance.

I am willing to comply with any regulations that work to decrease the carnage of 100,000 shootings a year. Just as I can't walk around with a bull horn shouting obscenities as an expression of free speech gun owners should be willing to surrender unlimited gun access for the safety of society.

If you are waiting for what I presume to be a lawful authority to tell you the right no longer exists and to relinquish your firearms. As for your contribution to ending the carnage as you characterize it, surrendering your guns now would set a significant example of your devotion to that cause. Others have done this, why can't you? Not having opened your safe since 1/15 would seem to indicate you have little value for you firearms, so why hold onto them? As for the hunting argument, that really doesn't work either as any game in North America can be harvested with archery equipment.

OH MY GOD THEY'RE COMING TO GET MY GUNS!1!!!2!

or explain how you have extrapolated that? Or is it that you have no effective counter argument?

want a conversation, you want a fight.

In post 21 you stake out a position that I believe mere gun ownership equates to fetishism. I never said that.

In post 24 you asked if I were willing to surrender my firearms and rights as if that were a proposal. Where did that come from?

In post 25 you accuse me of having right wing leanings which I don't. Further you accuse me of not valuing my collection. Then you wander off into obfuscation about alternate weaponry, which I have and use because ti gives me a 30 day advance on gun season. Why do you do this if not to simply pick a fight where none should be?

In post 28 you say you haven't said THEY ARE COMING FOR OUR GUNS!1!1!11 when the entire tone of your posts have been exactly that, suggesting I surrender mine as if anyone asked it and then saying I was simply waiting for some authority to do so.

Finally, in true gun nut form, you accuse me of having no counterargument when you have not made an argument in any shape form or fashion, preferring to ascribe things to me that I haven't advocated, don't believe and are made up from whole cloth.

What do want from me other than to pick a fight/

Positions so contorted and contradictory as to cause me to call the authenticity of your entire persona into question. With the considerable time and effort you expend denigration gun owners, I'm left to wonder if this is an Uncle Ruckus or Elmer Fudd routine.

In post 21 you stake out a position that I believe mere gun ownership equates to fetishism. I never said that.

Oh you mean "I'd say that a devotion to "gun rights"...represents fetishism". If you own a gun, isn't that an acknowledgment that the right exists, and the practice of it a measure of devotion? How much devotion equals fetishism?

In post 24 you asked if I were willing to surrender my firearms and rights as if that were a proposal. Where did that come from?

If you don't, you must have some "devotion to gun rights", or you wouldn't possess firearms in the first place.

In post 25 you accuse me of having right wing leanings which I don't. Further you accuse me of not valuing my collection. Then you wander off into obfuscation about alternate weaponry, which I have and use because ti gives me a 30 day advance on gun season. Why do you do this if not to simply pick a fight where none should be?

You authored post # 25, so I have no idea what you are talking about. But, to that point, you own firearms don't you? To some, that's right wing, or worse. As for the hunting issue, you know certainly well firearms are not necessary for hunting, so any argument to the contrary is bullshit.

In post 28 you say you haven't said THEY ARE COMING FOR OUR GUNS!1!1!11 when the entire tone of your posts have been exactly that, suggesting I surrender mine as if anyone asked it and then saying I was simply waiting for some authority to do so.

Utter bullshit, and as I expected you have nothing. As if a voluntary surrender out of principle is somehow synonymous with legal confiscation. Having no counter argument, you resorted to suggesting I'm paranoid. More of that two dimensional agitprop you were so eager to defend in the other group (my statement was factually correct, and you know. But, the delicate flowers had their way.).

Finally, in true gun nut form, you accuse me of having no counterargument when you have not made an argument in any shape form or fashion, preferring to ascribe things to me that I haven't advocated, don't believe and are made up from whole cloth.

Oh, I think I have you figured out well enough, especially considering the company you keep. You really want to make a difference? Sell those guns you revile so much and donate that money to a control group of your choice. Otherwise, you have no credibility. "Gun nut" eh? How about you define that for me, and provide specific examples of what I've written on this board that leads to that conclusion.

For the record, I've been in the shooting sports four decades and, although I acknowledge this is an association bias, have never encountered a gun owner with your negative attitudes towards gun ownership and owners in general.

Edited to add....

Well, look at this:

3. Yes, but we all must understand that gun rights are sooooo much more important then any other

rights like the right to life.

Yours apparently are, as you value them enough to own multiple firearms.

general lunacy. In that case, great job!

I've yet to see a explicit rationale from a 'royalist' gun control advocate as to
why *their* gun ownership is more acceptable than another persons, or why their
views on the matter should be encoded into law.

Maybe you'll be the first...

....but not for thee". A more common theme with the controllers than you might expect.

except you can. alex jones spews all kinds of crazy racist shit as do many other assholes on youtube, and none of them have ever been detained, fined or punished in any way. the only restriction on speech involve false accusations, and inciting violence. other than that you can say/print anything you want. you don't even have to be a member of the press to do so, the right to speak freely belongs to the individual. just as the RKBA belongs to the individual.

other restrictions on public and private speech.

disagrees "Over the years, the ACLU has frequently represented or defended individuals engaged in some truly offensive speech. We have defended the speech rights of communists, Nazis, Ku Klux Klan members, accused terrorists, pornographers, anti-LGBT activists, and flag burners. That’s because the defense of freedom of speech is most necessary when the message is one most people find repulsive. Constitutional rights must apply to even the most unpopular groups if they’re going to be preserved for everyone."

no they don't, the 2014 midterm election proves otherwise.

bill clinton is quoted as saying "And Clinton said that passing the 1994 federal assault weapons ban “devastated” more than a dozen Democratic lawmakers in the 1994 midterms — and cost then-Speaker of the House Tom Foley (D-Wash.) his job and his seat in Congress."
