I know a few more Californians who will be purchasing guns by the end of this year. And these are people who live in very nice areas of the state with below average crime rates. So, this news does not surprise me.

People are finally realizing that Muslim invaders are not “yearning to be free” but, instead they are coming to conquer, murder, and destroy.

CA has a population of about 36,000,000 so that means there are more conservatives in CA than in almost any other state (I'm one of them), burdened by the yoke of Jerry Brown, the lib Dem legislature, and the 0bamanation.

So then if CA is boasting of lower gun homicide rates than the rest of the US over the past 20 years due to their stricter gun laws, obviously Gov Brown is completely wrong in saying that lax gun laws in AZ or NV will be bad for CA.
