California Gun Control Measures Pretty Much Bans Rifles, Imposes Background Checks On Ammunition

The state Senate on Thursday approved sweeping new restrictions on using guns in California in response to the December mass shooting by two terrorists that left 14 dead in San Bernardino.

Lawmakers approved 11 bills including measures mandating background checks for Californians buying ammunition and outlawing the manufacture and sale of semiautomatic rifles with detachable magazines.

The bills, which next go to the Assembly for consideration, represent the most ambitious effort at gun control in decades in California, which already has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation.

Change the surface on which the circle lies (say, to a sphere).

Think daddy big bucks bloomberg and his ilk. We, on the other hand, apparently have no gazillionaires that are pro 2nd. The pro gun orgs would rather spend money on can’t-i-dates than worrying about local infringements. At least that’s the way it seems to me. In NV, the anti’s have already spent over 3 million to push for universal background checks. Can’t prove any spending on the pro 2nd side from what I’ve been able to see. Kinda like what happened in OR. Pro 2nd spent, I believe, less than 100K to nannie bloomers and momunists, again, over 3 million.

May I borrow this for new tag line?

How is that not “infringement” on the right to bear arms?

Remember, libs aren’t the smartest people. It is quite possible that their interpretation is the right to wear short sleeve shirts. (It is California)

There’s a reason most of the countries to the South of us are socialist or outright Marxist.

While Second Amendment rights are being recognized elsewhere in the country, they continue to be eroded in the communist hell that is California.

Texas. Come for the guns. Stay for the sanity.

And to think, back in 1982, when handguns were “evil” and rifles “good”, the politicians tried to register and ban handguns with Prop 15, to ban the sale of new handguns.

The measure failed. Since that day, the politicians have been trying to find a way around the will of the voters, one little bite at a time by attacking rifles.

Then it’s no longer a circle, which is, by definition, a planar structure.

Men will be free to suck **** and women will be free to kill their babies. That’s freedom to the Democrats.

You are dead on.
“Mexican carry”: no holster, in the waistband.
Mexico’s oligarchy has banned guns for decades—at least for the peons—while the federales and the elite carry, own and pretty much do what they want.
Like medieval Europe, serfs aren’t supposed to carry swords.
Mexican law made criminals out of anyone wanting to protect themselves from real criminals. When the peasants carried they had to be able to ditch the piece in a hurry, and getting caught with a holster attached to a belt was prima facie evidence of having had a gun.

Thus the term “Mexican carry”. California is turning feudal 3rd world, I really think so.

It is time for the second amendment solution to be implemented. Find those who passed this travesty and remove them, one by one.

They must have “accidents”, or just disappear. Yes, shooting them down in the streets would be more satisfying, but we need plausible deniability.

In Euclidean geometry, yes. But in spherical (or hyperbolic) geometry circles are well defined and have circumferences greater than or less than 2*pi*radius.

Right, and in non-Euclidean space, parallel lines actually intersect, and the angles in a triangle total less than or more than 180 degrees.

I'm talking planar geometry.

“California is evidence of what the left wishes for the rest of the country...”

Someone once told me that whatever is trendy in CA tends to go mainstream in the rest of the US within 20 years. At the time, confident in the superiority of American ideals, I dismissed that as nonsense.
But here we are, about 20+ years later, being ruled by Communists and LGBT’ers.
