Simply Put Questions for NRA About Proposed CA Magazine Ban

Simply put, SB776 would mandate the registration of all magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds of ammunition. The possession of unregistered magazines would be a crime and punishable up to a year in prison. [More]
Equally simply put, I have two questions:

If it passes, will this be another one of those existing/on the books gun laws you'll recommend enforcing?

And will you sponsor another registration session like you did for the firearms these magazine are made for?

How are they going to determine if the magazine has been registered? Do they have serial numbers? I don't recall ever seeing a serial number on a magazine.

More 'infringements' on objects.

How about more criminal control, instead of the same tire crap?

Unless they wish to make all 'lawful' firearms owners criminals.

One might as well use them, or lose them.

What I've read doesn't really say:

It's being pushed by Berkeley and Oakland Marxists. And thing is, if it passes, you can get a year in jail.

A year sentenced to be at the mercy of MS13 and Crips and Bloods and Skinheads.

I'd be wondering what I had to lose by taking out someone who wanted to take me in over this.

I'd be packing to get the hell out of California - if I wasn't already in Wyoming.

What's it going to take to get the rest of you guys out of that hell hole?

MamaLiberty- Somebody has to stay behind and fight the fight. I'm sure that CA is the same as here in MA. The urban areas are overrun with nanny statists, while the further you get away from these "progressive" enclaves, the more common sense you run into.
Once you retreat, you have given the opposition the victory.
I don't really think I have any chance in hell of winning this fight here in MA..maybe when I receive my bailout I too can move to the Free States

I'm going to write my representatives to tell them they should spend time more wisely by writing a bill to change the legislature to part time.
Anything not controlled by the government, is by definition, "out of control". Where's your line? Can't wait to move out of here.

John Higgins said...

BrianF -

I insist that there is no fight to lose. In areas overrun by anti-gunners, given that the majority rules, unless you can sway massive numbers of people or make the political opposition to gun control very threatening (if so, I'd love to hear how - I live in New York's first district, everyone from the ground up making the rules that I'm supposed to follow hates guns and has a very comfy, very SECURE seat) there's no way to win.

That sounds very fatalist, I know, but without being brutally, even bitterly, realistic, we can't properly organize.

I'll have a new blog post up about this shortly.

I think the Marxists know how useless and ineffective gun control is.

What the Marxists are REALLY interested in is CONTROL OF THE PEOPLE, not crime control.

"Crime control" is just another strawman set up by the marxists so the unsuspecting members of the public would be wooed to voting for it.

Re: David
That is their favorite intimidation tactic. Proposing to lock up victims of their gun control laws in places where almost every American knows are infested with the most violent scumbags and hoodlums, to discourage people from owning tools of freedom. It's just like the house-burnings in Fahrenheit 451...Intimidation, coercion, blatant thuggery.

Two thoughts; We know without a doubt that these people who propose and support this crap are failures at everything they turn their hand to. So leaving and getting the hell out denies them your productivity, taxes,and representation levels in Congress. The system will then, over the course of a few years simply implode. Good reason for leaving. If Ca. starts to bleed residents, be prepared for them to make leaving illegal. Don't laugh. They'll do it.

Second, if you stay you will have no reason to ever submit to arrest or trial. The fix is in. So if you stay, prepare to be expensive/

yep, looks like Directive 10-289 will be here any day soon.

The sponsors of the bill should be punished.

Bad, mistaking a hornet nest for a pinata.

MamaLiberty said...

BrianF, I fought that fight for 50 years in California. It nearly killed me before I realized that I was actually doing more to support the evil (paying taxes) than fighting it!

If you find yourself in a swamp full of alligators, seems the prudent thing would be to get out of the swamp as fast as you can - unless you have some way to kill a lot of alligators very quickly.
