Something missing here...let's see, who could it be? Oh, yeah, not once here or in the article are lawful gun owners even mentioned.
I have to disagree, sounds like a good program gone bad. Take guns away from people who were oredered to surrender their firearms do to domestic violence or mental issues.
Morons-
And they just know they are so smart...
People are either
A.) A citizen, with rights.
Or
B.) A person that is a threat to society as a criminal, or danger to society if crazy. Then they should be incarcerated or institutionalized if the threat rises to that level.
This limbo land bullshit where we take a citizens rights away forever, although they paid their price in fines and and imprisonment is hypocritical and a joke. If they pose a threat, they should not be on the street because they can just as well kill people with a car, bomb made from common household or agricultural products, tools, poison, etc.
They are either a threat, or not a threat.
They either paid the price and are now fully restored as citizens, or they have not.
***What these idiots are really saying: we are looking for thousands of exceptions and exclusions to a Constitutional right, so that we can grab your gun for any reason (criminal, psychological, etc). We want to make it super easy for anyone at any level, to just make an accusation, and immediately your rights are suspended.
“This is what happens when a bunch of Marxist gun-grabbers try to operationalize their plans with a completely dysfunctional state government.”
You just touched on one of the many reasons communism is low IQ.
If you are a normal law abiding person just trying to live life in California, it is extremely inconvenient and costly to jump through the hoops.
If you are a homeless drug addicted drifter or foreign national in the commission of a felony you will remain legally off the radar.
Nobody wants to try yo “confiscate” another American citizen’s property. Especially the only item that our constitutionally specifically protects his/ her ownership of.
Can’t think of a higher risk “job” unless it’s pulling wild lions’ teeth without any anesthetic
Or maybe standing on the track in front of the finish line at the Indy 500 race.
Or maybe being anywhere in the path of Chinese women drivers vying for that one last parking space at Costco.
Give the government a break. They will be just as successful at banning illegal fire arms as they are banning illegal drugs flooding across the border and keeping illegal aliens from crossing the same border.
Until they are.
This whole program in California is designed to do exactly that.
Well, lets see...California...
I bought my first handgun in Cali way back in 1968. Only had to wait three days to pick it up. None of this extra baggage tagged on since.

So what new scheme and dream will they come up with..
At least the California gun laws have resulted in my removing a pistol grip from a rifle. That should make everybody in California much safer.
