They were looking for a gun owner who’d recently spent two days in a mental hospital.

Isn't that the norm for most Californians? Don't they just refer to it as R and R?

It's a process. You take the easy ones first, the ones that fewer people will complain about. Once you get them, you move on to the harder ones. Eventually you have them all. Then you round up the malcontents and imprison them and kill them. Eventually you reach nirvana - a gun free society where everyone feeds of the government teat and no one is allowed to get too rich.

This article is the proof that any and every registration scheme in our legislatures, federal and state, need to be defeated. There is no need to register any weapons unless there is a desire to confiscate.

I don't want CA used as a national model for anything. I just as soon take my chances in South America.

Harris, a 48-year-old Democrat, has asked California lawmakers to increase the number of agents from the current 33. They seized about 2,000 weapons last year. Agents also took 117,000 rounds of ammunition and 11,000 high-capacity magazines, according to state data.
I wonder what would happen if those resources were applied to those that are actually using guns to commit crimes in CA? Like Chicago, that seems to be an "underserved population."

Another Angle:

Bill would ban lead ammunition in California
Any doubters out there about the goal in CA?


Edit: correct typo

"rlol" If available, the citizenry would only have models limited to "stun" and we'd probably have to explain why we need a military style weapon to begin with.

“We’re not contacting anybody who can legally own a gun, YET” said John Marsh, a supervising agent who coordinates the sometimes-contentious seizures. “I got called the Antichrist the other day. Every conspiracy theory you’ve heard of, take that times 10.”
There I fix it for him. :tiphat:

The reduction in crime, especially gun crime, would undermine the liberal agenda. Liberals always go after political criminals much more aggressively than they do violent criminals. That's why they want draconian sentences for administrative violations like "large capacity magazines" and four US parts instead of five in a modified Saiga means prison time, and criminals caught with guns get probation, and armed robbers, rapists, and murderers spend less time in prison than the left wants someone to spend for owning the wrong size magazine.

Why not? California is a great model....you look at what they do there and do the opposite.
