Newsome signed new bills to keep us safe

Basura comes from the LA political machine bankrolled by the unions, much worse than Newscum. The FSC training requirement is essentially permit to purchase like those in Hawaii and Illinois, but much more clever, because it is Not sold as permit to purchase.

Thats a whole lotta D we're taking.
 
Sounds like you should probably get/ buy everything you want before the law takes effect.
It'll be the sure death of many gun businesses. A lot of gunowners will get their fsc/renew at end of '28 and let it die out at the end of expiry. By '32, '33, old gunowners will probably stop buying, and little to no new gunowners starting '29.

All these laws mean nothing until we hear from scotus this next year. There’s a lot of amicus briefs from a lot of different orgs including the federal DOJ that have seen how states and lower courts have acted post Bruen. It wouldn’t surprise me if scotus includes wording on permitting like they did in Bruen but goes more in depth as far as what they deem unconstitutional in regards to it. I say this cause those on our side know that state reaction is going to be some type of permitting scheme for anything involving assault weapons
 
The California gun safety laws are only #1 in violating the 2nd Amendment and being struck down in legal decisions by SCOTUS. The bovine excrement spewed about Newscum and Commie pals is cliche' in nature and cause:

How to create a social state by Saul Alinsky:

There are eight levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state. The first is the most important.

  1. Healthcare– Control healthcare and you control the people
  2. Poverty – Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.
  3. Debt – Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty
  4. Gun Control– Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.
  5. Welfare – Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income)
  6. Education – Take control of what people read and listen to – take control of what children learn in school.
  7. Religion – Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools
  8. Class Warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.
Does any of this sound like what is happening to the United States?

Alinsky merely simplified Vladimir Lenin's original scheme for world conquest by 👨🏻‍🎨m, under Russian rule. Stalin described his converts as "Useful Idiots." The Useful Idiots have destroyed every nation in which they have seized power and control. It is presently happening at an alarming rate in the U.S If people can read this and still say everything is just fine…they are “useful idiots. Also known as Democrats.

You do realize who’s President right now right? Can you tell me since 2000, which party has been in control longer as President?

Did you vote for Bush Jr? McCain? Romney? What do you think of them now? If the last two became president would we be in a better place?

Most of what you listed is under state control. Can you name a well run state you consider ideal?
 
Want change? Be a single issue voter.

Gawernator, do you know the clear difference between caguns and calguns?
IMHO, want change? Don’t be a 🍆 to people who don’t know what they don’t know. Take the time and have the patience to educate them.

It’s slow and takes a lot of time, you can’t berate someone into agreeing with your political stance. Even if they don’t agree, don’t make politics your personality, life’s too short to try to force people to think like you. Change is a process.

The tide is turning, but can’t rush it there’s an ebb and flow to change.

You do realize this thread is about CALIFORNIA? As a current subject in the People's Republik of Commiefornistan I can guarantee you Dems are CHEATING IN THE ELECTIONS HERE. HERE'S PROOF. My red city/county is being cheated by redistricting. San Clemente is nowhere near San Diego.election cheat.webp

Re-read your post.

Plus, do you really think California needs to cheat when you know the demographics?

It’s not hard to use statistics. Plus the redistricting was a strategy employed by Texas before it was implemented here. We all know why it was changed and what it was in response to.

I honestly can't tell if this is a troll post or not. But if it isn't, this is some incredible 2014 era facebook boomerposting. FYI Saul Alinksy did not write the "8 levels of control".

I gotta say it’s funny being called the gawernator. That’s my old Xbox name.

Uhhh one forum I really like and spend too much time on and one I didn’t post on for like 8 years? Lol

This, 100%. Be the example of a responsible gun owner who will change their mind through education. Brow beating and shaming never works to change hearts or minds, it has quite the opposite effect.

It's taken me nearly 20 years, but my crunchiest friend, a former coworker and ultra-far left leaning Bay Area native , has slowly changed his mind on guns.

20 years ago when we met he thought all guns should be banned
15 years ago he thought only ex military, ex-police, or other professionals should be allowed to own guns
Over 10 years ago he thought you should have extensive training, psych eval, and more to own a gun.
7 years ago, he thought you should have some training and a background check. He learned about the roster and thought it was stupid.
Now, he just thinks training should be required so idiots can't own guns, and has considered going to the range with me.

He's a good guy, with some views we strongly disagree on, but as he's learned more about shooting, and I've explained why I enjoy it, his opinion has slowly changed over the years.

I'm going to get him to the range one day....

My wife did not like that I owned a gun, but said as long as she didn't see it, she really couldn't complain as I'm ex military, owned it since my 21st birthday, been shooting since I was a child, blah blah blah
I went to the range a couple time a year, never made it a big deal, but always was open about when I was going and why I enjoyed it.
7 years later, she asks to shoot it. I teach her the rules, show her how to operate and disassemble my revolver, and have her practice dry fire and safe handling a few different time.
When I take her to the range, she falls in love with full sized 9mm's
That year, she buys her first gun, and is gifted her 2nd.
Now she personally owns 5 or so in her name, and loves going to the range to shoot our collection of guns. She mentioned just tonight she wants to shoot some 38's out of her new 60-15, since 357's kick a bit much out of it for her to enjoy range time

Kindness, patience, and education.

He can’t be that far left. A lot of the left extreme does like the idea of guns (for their theoretical political uprising that never happens)

But yes you get more flies with honey than vinegar.

Oh good God 🤣

Okay I'll be more clear Mr Nit-Picky:

He's about the epitome of the quintessential California Democrat voter from the Bay area. About as stereotypical Bay Area Liberal as you can get.

That kind of left.
