California prepares for Confiscation?
CA sucks
Member Posts: 4,310
I read something about guns in Chigago(Illinois?) were being confiscated that had previously been registered.
Now California has passed SB 1152 (not signed yet, I hope it gets Veto'd) that requires retailers to keep a record with name, address, thumbprint, and maybe phone number?(I forget) of everyone that purchases ammunition.
This is effectively back door registration of everyone that uses firearms in California. The only reasons I can see the police wanting to know this is for 1) knowing when a suspect is armed (as if a criminal would buy his ammunition or gun from a licensed dealer), and 2) knowing whose houses to visit after the passage of a law that confiscates guns.
So whats your opinion, are they trying to pass this law for 1) or 2)?
I really hope our Governator terminates this bill.

Assuming that the state legislators actually listen to their citizens (that's a big assumption) like myself and others who have contacted them, it would never pass.
Right now, I can't see how SB 1152, SB1140, or AB50 could possibly be used to prevent or otherwise reduce crime.
I would strongly encourage people to contact their legislators through any and all means possible (i.e. phone calls, emails, postal letters, fax, etc.) to encourage them to vote against this measure. Contact anti-gun politicians and explain calmly to them that you do not support their anti-gun/pro-crime legislative actions, that as long as they continue to submit or vote for such legislation you won't vote for them, and encourage them to repeal restrictive anti-gun legislation. Be sure to indicate that you *will* support them if they propose or support legislation that will effectively combat crime while preserving the rights of gun owners.
Being totally negative makes them not want to do anything for you, but if you indicate that you'll positively support them if they do certain things, they may like what you have to say a bit more.
Since I purchase nearly all my ammunition from out-of-state by mail, I would not be affected by the registration-of-ammo law, if it passes. I am, however, going to fight tooth and nail (although I'm a private citizen and not terribly effective at convincing legislators, I'll do what I can) to oppose these bills.

Question For Everyone! I collect guns and so does this friend I work with, recently he purchased a ak47 and had to sign something stating he wont buy any more guns(Any type). Apparently they think he has too many. What does everyone think of that????

Sounds like BS to me. Who said he had to sign such a statement and where are you located?

First time I have heard of such a thing. I, like EOD, would like to know more about this.

We have to start suspecting what the power elite is NOT saying. They know we have them outnumbered, and are doing everything in their power to even the odds, and a great way to do that is to take the fangs, the claws, the stingers, and any possible tools of defense away from the "ordinary" citizens.
Next thing you know, they'll try to disable our chameleon ability to avoid harm.

Remember how many seats were lost after AWB passage? Vae victis!
Those who would offer any interpretation that would relegate Amendment II to "relic" status of a bygone era are blatantly stating that the remainder of the Bill of Rights isn't worth a damn, either.
