college students to come to my wonderful Blue State-California! I just looked it up and this is what I found:

The state known for the strictest gun laws is California.

In California, all firearms sales, transfers, including private transactions and sales at gun shows, must go through a California licensed firearms dealer.

California also has no provision in its state constitution that explicitly guarantees an individual the right to keep and bear arms
I also know that the wait is 10 days..

out of the state as a punishment for the state not enforcing his immigration crap. I say GREAT! Good riddance to them. I don't see how it is a punishment as much as a reward for defying his Nazi regime and declaring CA a sanctuary state. Come here for Spring Break and you don' have to worry about getting deported if you scratch your ass while on vacation and ICE is hiding around the corner.
