There many ways to enact guns sense laws and have lives saved....the NRA blocks the sensible laws the public wants because of their control of lawmakers?

Then go around the lawmakers and directly to the public....democracy will find a way!

I have a suggestion for the NRA, have Ted Nugent, respected board member and all round creepy guy, give an interview to anyone other than RW media....that would be both entertaining and ever so enlightening to the voting public, voting both in gun control and general ballots.

Give some speeches in public arenas, not TV and radio studios...get out there among the voting public and say the same things!

Gun control a negative for the Democratic Party? Don't make me laugh!

Gun control would be such a huge positive for liberals that getting liberals to believe the opposite is a huge priority with the NRA....but when has the NRA ever told the truth about guns?

The "No can do" crowd will be riding in soon to tell us how silly Gavin is. And with the same song they perpetually sing...

You can be sure!

I would also like to see incarceration with a charge of involuntary childslaughter time for the owner of a gun that kills a child. Say two months...kind of like my "Think About It" chair with my toddler. He thought about it, got calmed down, then we talked about it.

...everyone there and the neighbors on each side of us.

We all have reason to sign and support this petition.

Make all firearm dealers in the state illegal. Put them out of business the same way abortion activists did to clinics.

You need to start screening all inter-state traffic for trafficked guns. Millimeter wave radar should do nicely. Backscatter X-rays will pick up lead bullets.

State by state, make the US a real gun-free zone.

Or pure comedy gold.

So, what about that pesky 2A?
Or Heller v DC? You know, the SCOTUS ruling that the 2A confers an individual right to own firearms not connected to militia service?

The future of the Democratic Party!

I like a majority of his politics. But, I don't like his image and demeanor. He's kind of an arrogant little prick. If he's the Dem candidate, then I'll probably vote for him unless the Green Party candidate impresses me more.

The man is a douche.

Can you get it done in 6?

It can be difficult for the dogmatic and myopic to realize degrees of difference are yet still a difference.

You can be cited for driving 71 mph on I-5 but 70 is perfectly legal. You can sex an 18 year old but a 17 year 364 day old is a felony. You need a permit to add a 10'x10' shed to your yard but a 10'x8' shed does not require a permit. X plants (I can't be bothered to google the current value of x) is legal medicinal use but x+1 is possession with intent to distribute.

A lot of laws draw somewhat arbitrary lines between what's reasonable and prudent and what is not when the exact dividing line is debatable or shaded. There's a number of rounds where the massacre potential outweighs the value for defensive use. What that number is can be debated, but codifying a value where we separate the risky from the acceptable in law? That's perfectly normal.

...to which I can only reply that if cops need 15-round pistol mags for defensive purposes, I'd take one, too, provided I owned a pistol to begin with.

I foresee CA's border states seeing an uptick in ammo sales to CA residents, which would be cheaper to buy, hell, the border states may offer CA residents a discount to buy ammo in their stores.
A smart business person would set up shop on the borders of CA, like in Primm, NV., and make a bundle.

I also foresee CA demanding that the border states refuse to sell to CA residents, and I foresee the border states giving CA the finger.

as well as constitutional challenges to some of the provisions Second, Fourth, and Fifth Amendment and Due Process grounds.

Although federal trial courts in CA and the 9th Circuit will likely uphold the new laws if passed, this would be a great opportunity for the Supreme Court to again take up gun control with a multifaceted and severe statewide law (and be able to continue the tradition of reversing the 9th Circuit).

Always informative posts from you.

And started plugging in zip codes of places that I know don't permit internet ammo sales.

As I suspected, CTD won't deliver to these places. I'd guess most of the other reputable on-line ammo dealers won't either. Not worth the hassle.

I'm sure CA gun owners will be in just as much of a hurry to comply as those in CT and NY were with similar laws (estimated rate of compliance: 10%).

Talk about motivating voters with a purpose...

I would open an ammo business, offer CA resident's a 15% discount on ammo and then sit back and rake in the dough.

I wonder how many millions that would cost?
