Opportunity Knocks

Now Gov. Schwarzenegger has a chance to make Californians safer, and set a new national standard, by signing into law the Crime Gun Identification Act of 2007.
More bloviating by "authorized journalists" who don't know what the hell they're talking about. And they accuse us of being "reflexive."

And it figures they'd work in a reference to Virginia Tech.

Now would probably be a good time to add some more effort to "The Surge."

O.K., I sent him another e-mail. We'll see what happens now.

I called and let the Governator know that I want this one vetoed, and the Katrina Confiscation bill http://nramemberscouncils.com/legs.shtml?summary=ab1645&year=2007 passed.

After further review however, I am less concerned with the microstamping bill than before: http://jasonsblahg.blogspot.com/2007/09/microstamping-bill-not-that-big-of-deal.html

Disagree, Cap'n. It is a HUGE deal. The points you make about still having old guns are well understood by those of us who have been following this since the beginning. Ain't the point.

Anytime anti-gun politicians can give themselves the power to invent and impose arbitrary infringements on RKBA and ban entire classes of firearms--and get away with it--there is nothing to stop them from coming up with a different set of hoops the next time around. I can only guess you must not be from California, or perhaps don't recall how existing "assault weapons" were "grandfathered" as long as you complied with a new edict to register them?

Not to mention you'll be cutting yourself off from technological advances for those models that mfrs choose not to introduce to the CA market, what starts in CA often creeps eastward, plus, this is another foot in the door to sue mfrs--make them install unproven technology, and then, when the guns malfunction, they're subject to defective product lawsuits that WILL stick.
