Sometimes, however, out-of-state gun buyers are surprised as they drive back on the interstate.So now that you know, take appropriate counter-measures.
Their California license plates have been photographed at the gun show parking lot in a covert operation that isn't officially acknowledged by Sacramento. They've been watched at the gun counters. And they get hauled over by state cops after reentering California, particularly if they've been mass-purchasers of assault weapons and are suspected "traffickers." [More]
As an aside, this Skelton character is a long-time Fourth Estate Fifth Columnist. I tried to tell the prags that distancing themselves from men of principle wouldn't satisfy domestic enemies.

From the article:
But even in Tombstone in the 1800s, the Earp brothers banned packing heat in town, which led to the shootout at OK Corral.
I wonder if this clown realizes that he just admitted that "gun control" was what "led to the shootout."
New Hampshire sells wine and distilled spirits in state owned liquor stores at a lower taxed rate than can be found in Massachusetts. People were purchasing liquor and cigarettes in New Hampshire and driving their purchases to Massachusetts, an act that Massachusetts outlawed. Massachusetts conducted surveillance at the NH liquor stores, noted license plate/tag numbers, and pulled over the vehicles when they crossed into Massachusetts, arrested the drivers, seized the merchandise and impounded the vehicles, threatening a lively trade in New Hampshire. NH Governor Meldrim Thomson, Jr. ordered that the Massachusetts State Police officers conducting the surveillance be arrested. This was over forty years ago. Since then, there have been ongoing issues where Massachusetts residents have made major purchase of other goods (such as tires for their vehicles) in NH which does not have a sales tax and transported those goods into Massachusetts. Massachusetts officials cannot compel NH merchants to charge Massachusetts sales tax or to refuse business from customers who give a Massachusetts residence. I have also heard that Connecticut and Rhode Island have similar problems with Massachusetts, only in reverse, as CT and RI sales taxes were higher than the sales tax rate in Massachusetts. This a an example shown in Kipling's "The Man Who Would Be King" (also a movies starring Michael Caine and Sean Connery) of the villagers peeing in the river to spite the downstream villagers while complaining that the upstream villagers were peeing in the river.
The states bordering California need to consider similar action.

If they are buying a firearm (in a state they are no a resident of) aren't they (and the seller) already in violation of federal law? I bet this is more focused on the standard cap magazine issue....
