AB50 (Koretz) - .50 Caliber Rifle Ban - would ban the sale/possession of rifles that are chambered for the .50 BMG cartridge. AB50 is on the Assembly Floor.
AB 992 (Ridley-Thomas) - Ammo Tax - This bill would levy a tax on the sale of ammunition of 10 cents on every cartridge sold at retail to fund a #147;Victims Reimbursement Fund.#148; AB992 is on the Assembly Floor.
SB489 (Scott) - Semi-Auto Handgun bill - would have required that all semiautomatic handguns, manufactured after a specific date - that are imported and sold in California, be equipped with a loaded chamber indicator and a magazine disconnect mechanism. SB489 is on the Senate Floor.
SB601 (Perata) - .50 Caliber Handgun Ban - would ban sale/possession of .50 caliber handguns. This bill is aimed specifically at the new S&W .500 Magnum cartridge but would also ban others. SB601 is still on the Suspense File in the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Ted Kennedy's breath has killed more people than my car.
His dad offered him a 160 acre farm in the Napa valley if he would move back. He said no. Money didn't mean that much to that man. He had pride.
I am related to a large portion of the Napa valley and have never met most of those people.
My sister lived in Orange County in the mid 1980's. I have been there a couple of times. I wouldn't trade one square foot of my place for that whole state.

You said a lung full that time brother! But I'm afraid it's too late.

Ideas are far more powerful than guns. We don't let our people have guns. Why should we let them have ideas?

For those of you who have chosen to leave California because you were fed up with the crap that goes on in this state, I applaud you. It can be a tough decision to make. It often involves leaving family and friends behind and maybe limiting your opportunities. Just don't expect me to follow the same path simply because it worked for you.
For those of you who have never lived in California and still think that you know exactly what should be done or what we should do with our lives, pull your heads out and think before you spout off about something which you are clearly ignorant of.

Pull down all U.S. flags in U.S. Federal Courts in Californistan (9th Circus Court) and put up a North Korean flag. Put up signs on I-80 going into California "Welcome to the People's Republic of California" with a North Korean flag flying above it.
Have a bunch of people in freakin clown suits in front of the 9th Circuit Court holding signs "Welcome to the Land of Fruits and Nuts" and "For The 9th Circus Court Enter Here"......
Who's with me on this?
Not a soul. We don't want to disturb a Californian's quality of life.
Wait until the oil runs out, they won't be quiet then.

Ouch! Nice turnaround. I applaud you for staying and trying to make things better. Most, however, have abandoned the state of California as a sinking ship, and I cannot necessarily say I disagree. I'll send emails of course, but barring some form of miracle, you people seem to be on a quick ride down the slippery slope.

Almost as bad as Saddam and his palaces.
I think Shootist is pointing out that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is not a California court, it is a Federal court. Also, for what it's worth, note that the Ninth has jurisdiction over many western states other than California.

HAH!!!
The only ways to 'stick up' the 9th circus are with a gun or with glue! As Norman Dog stated, I was simply pointing out that it is a FEDERAL COURT, not a CALIFORNIA COURT, politicians that all of you elected appointed (or confirmed) its members!
As hondo said, it is the 800 pound gorilla, with 13% of the population comes 13% of the House of Representatives and 13% of the electorial votes. It is axiomatic in American life that as California goes, so goes the nation.
Rather than dumping on KA, you would be better off trying to help stem the tide. Use the link above and send an e-mail to every KA legislator (copy offeror's letter and 'personalize' it). It is simple and you can send to all with a single click. Politics aside, KA is a beautiful state, rich farm land, towering mountains, great beaches, scenic deserts. From my house, it is a little over an hour to go from surfing to skiing! Why leave all this to the bad guys! California needs your help!
