Ignorance of the law becomes a valid defense?

edited October 2004 in Gun Rights and Constitutional Law
Most states have gun laws. Even as we hate the laws they?_Tre for the most part relatively simple and somewhat easy to understand. That is everywhere but Kalifornia. There the laws are made up in pages and pages of ambiguous, complicated and confounded laws that no reasonably educated person could ever fully understand. Add to the mess that Kalifornia?_Ts Bolshevik politicians constantly make as many new laws as the can dream up to destroy any and all gun rights.

I am waiting for the argument of ignorance to be used as a defense.

    I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I don't think the California Dangerous Weapons Control Law is that complicated and can't be understood. It does however, require patience to follow along with the constant cross-referencing.

    Of course, I've been working with Federal and state regulations for a long time and am used to the bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo.

    Let's start with the poor street cops that complain they can?_Tt keep up with these constantly changing convaluted laws or the various interpretations of them. Then there are all of the criminal lawyers who constantly complain about the lack of coherent writing abilities of the authors of these California laws.

    I like to think that I can understand Illinois, Arizona and our various federal gun laws with the benefit of police academy training and loads of experience in numerous state and federal courts over the last 30 years. I can?_Tt say the same about the drivel that comes out of Sacramento.

    California's gun laws facilitate violent armed criminals.

    The real story is these guys had been arrested "With All those guns" and the Judge not only released them he gave back there Weapons too. I never see that printed or refered to by the LAPD "Who blocked the sale of the video from Block Busters.

    I have the real video I got from BB before they were told by the LAPD to stop the sale of it or they would get sued!

    All I can say is the police were some lucky snots. If these guys had used aimed fire the morge would have been full that day!

    That blows considering the fact that I don't actually own the Video at this time.. February 28 just happens to be on my birthday...I'm very serious, no joke..
    Larry Eugene Phillips was a natural Born killer... one of very 2 professional Bank robbers in Bank of America Branches..

    This movie is my favorite of all time...no doubt
