CA Reality Check, Part 3

This was posted on the Cheap Shooting Group at Yahoo. I thought I would share.
Basically it is a CA bill to ban all gun shows at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, a State-owned arena (I get chills just saying "State-owned"). They've already banned gun shows in my neighboring Bay Area county, and several others around the state too. I have to drive about 40 miles to the nearest gun show. I guess now I will be heading to Reno, maybe permanently.
I think we are only about 2 years away from having law enforcement go door-to-door and seizing all firearms here in California.

on your rights as lawful owners of firearms. It has passed it's

SENATE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE
SB 1733 (Speier) Firearms: Sales at the Cow Palace. This bill
would
ban having a gun show at the Cow Palace, which is a state owned
facility in the South San Francisco area. If it passes, it will be
expanded to ban gun shows on any public property, like fairgrounds,
throughout the State. It is a major attack on the right of
sportsmen
and other firearms owners to assemble, communicate with each other,
and to purchase new, used and collectible firearms, accessories and
sporting supplies. The bill is now before the Senate
Appropriations
Committee.
Please take action immediately! A list of the members of the
Appropriations Committees can be found below. Let them know of
your
opposition to SB 1733 and let your local legislators hear from you
as
well. It is critical that all of this bill be stopped !!!

The Supreme Court will always refuse to hear 2nd Amendment cases.
California has no hope left.
Do we have to move to Texas to have some leisurely fun with a gun??
I wonder what the reason really is though, California is pretty left-wing I would think but they definately don't like guns. I think it is partly a city thing, too many gangsters and they have to start cracking down-I know it is fairly easy to get a "hot" gun from friends, so maybe its also part of their failure to properly enforce the gun control. I think it's crap when friends in Nevada tell me about their gun, but it is 100% illegal to use it over here. I should join the NRA.
I never did anything about it because.... Well, it didn't affect me. I wasn't into guns. And now I regret it. Somehow, it seems you are right, The police might come knocking... scary thought.
If anybody is reading this from the Bay Area, be aware that a gun show is coming up at the Flamingo Hotel in Santa Rosa toward the end of July (sorry, I don't have the exact date). It would be great if we could really make this a big turnout and show the gungrabbers what we think about thier gun show restrictions.
