On April 19, a bill that could literally ban all Federal Firearm License holders (FFLs) from doing business in the state of California goes before the State Assembly Committee on Privacy and Consumer Protection.
The bill–Assembly Bill 2459–is sponsored by Assembly Member Kevin McCarty (D-Sacramento). If passed, it would shackle FFLs with four new requirements, the totality of which could simply force gun stores to close their doors.
The NRA-ILA reported the four proposed requirements:
A prohibition on licensee business premises being on a residential property.
A clear statement that localities may impose more restrictive requirements on licensees than those imposed by state law.
A requirement that licensees maintain full color video surveillance that is of sufficient quality to provide for facial recognition and records all firearm transactions on the premises, all locations where firearms and ammunition are stored, the immediate exterior of the licensed premises, and all parking facilities owned by the licensee. The video equipment would be required to run during all business hours and be set to begin recording when motion is detected at all other times. The licensee would have to certify to having compliant video equipment at least yearly and make any needed repairs to the equipment within 15 days of any damage. The footage would need to be stored on the premises for at least five years, but that could be extended if the footage may be part of a law enforcement investigation. Licensees would also be required to post a prominent sign indicating that customers are being recorded.
All licensees would be required to have a liability policy of a minimum of $1M per incident to cover liability arising from “theft, sale, lease or transfer or offering for sale, lease or transfer of a firearm or ammunition, or any other operations of

Sorry to say it, but if that Election were held TODAY, it would Pass with flying colors.
Believe me, I am trapped here.
I will be pretty damned impressed when a 3D printer prints gunpowder and primers! Just think of how many of us will be able to fire our .22's again when 3D printers turn out complete rounds.
I'm still waiting for all those east coast states that voted more liberal than California to swept clean into the Atlantic so we can have a fresh start there.
Would this be akin to banning paper and ink?
More akin to banning air and WATER!
Cartridges and slugs will be no problem.
And a high schooler that has taken a chemistry class can make smokeless powder.
We’re actually one generation to a century (tops) away from solar powered fabrication units that resemble the replicators in Star Trek.
What is that town that has the Desperado roller coaster at a casino just inside Nevada on the way to Vegas from LA? They could put a HUGE gun emporium there and do mega business and drive traffic to their casino.
This would require petabytes worth of storage.
4, 3megapixel high definition IP cameras require about 10 terabytes for a month's storage, 24/7, if they go to motion only after hours, they could cut that by 20% or so.
These systems would require at LEAST 8 cameras. 60 months, 10 terabytes a month is 1.2 petabytes. We'll call it 1 petabyte minimum storage if it's live. If you pull it off on tape, you're talking about a mountain of tapes to manage
There is simply no way to make this work. It's insane.

How long before Guns and Ammo magazine is banned?
yup. and I know Ayn Rand is supposed to be an nutball and awful person but somehow reality keeps imitating her art....
Looks like we’re headed back to the 70’s.
Oh my...
Except for Van Vogt’s “The Weapons Shop” it’s been nearly half a century since I read either.
Far too many of today’s voters, especially the younger ones, want a government that acts like a benevolent parent.
What they don’t realize is that the love they expect from that parent will NOT come from a government.
And they don’t understand that anything given by a government can even more easily be taken away. That’s why things like health care, food, and housing are NOT rights. A “right” can not be taken away, and others can’t be obligated to provide those rights. If they are obligated, they are slaves.

Zip those petabytes.
You will get one bit.
Save it.
May be 0, may be 1.
Let the feds unzip it. Or maybe Apple will help.
yes... i heard a radio call in show tonight where the mostly-young callers kept saying they voted for X or Y because s/he would give them more “affordable housing” and “access to medical care” and “my right to go to college (without paying for it)” and so forth and so on.
What a tragic situation we’ve reached.
obviously unsustainable but in the meanwhile, tragic.
one thing, tho.... not only benefits can be taken away. our rights, too, can be taken away. such as what’s been happeninng to us these past several years with the Bill of Rights (1, 2, etc.)
‘the price of liberty is eternal vigilence’
people who are glued to their computer games or porno or sports spectacles (Christians and Lions coming before Obama’s term ends).... are not ‘vigilent’
Though I realize this might sound like I’m splitting hairs here, I really don’t believe I am.
Your rights can’t be taken away from you. You can be restrained from exercising those rights, but they remain yours. Your rights come from your Creator.
The reason I make this distinction is because rights are like ideas, they’re not physical. Like ideas, you can’t “kill” rights. And because they can’t be taken away, one can continue to fight to exercise your rights, even while they’re being denied.

agreed, indeed it is this very assertion that our rights come from our Creator and not kings or political hack trash...
it is this assertion that makes America an exceptional nation in the modern world
and why Obama and Hillary and Pelosi hate it
Its “too damned Biblical” for them
they would prefer getting us away from God and that means taking away our God-given rights
or trying to, as per your note.
we agree. thanks
I believe this particular bill was killed in the “Privacy Committee”. But never fear, a dozen other nasty gun control bills and a gun and ammo ban ballot initiative are still working their way through the system.
