I think that is mostly a right wing canard. There are many people in California who just love socialist policies.

“Voter approved.” That says it all for any hope that California will join the ranks of hormality.

Suppressors, not silencers.

I prefer the latter, as a distinction from muzzle flash suppressors. It's clearer.

I bought some ammo yesterday at a farm and ranch supply. For the FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I had to show ID.
In 1961, I bought some .22 shorts with a 50 cent piece. Walked out with the ammo and 5 cents. No ID, no background check. I was 14 years of age. Think of all we lost when a Palestinian Immigrant shot Bobby Kennedy in 1968.

Not disputing that. But we are back to my pet peeve. Which is letting the left decide the terms of a debate.

It is a sound suppressor, not a sound silencer. By letting them make silencer the accepted term to be used we allow them to completely misrepresent what it is and thus demonize it for an ignorant populace.

Every time one of them refers to it as a silencer, they need to be called out on it.

A few years back a Judge put a “hold” on California’s magazine ban for a few weeks.. Magazine companies flooded California with 30 round magazines. One shipped it’s 50 rd magazines with this logo on their box giving California the One Finger salute.

Hard to believe Californians would vote in such a law as they turned down a hand gun registration and ban law in 1982. Prop 15.
https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_15,_Handgun_Ownership_and_Registration_Initiative_(1982)

To get an AW ban passed, California wrote a horrid 1988 version so bad it was rejected and shelved. Never let a crisis go to waste, even if you have to create a crisis.

|The State released Pat Purdy from a mental institution, allowed him to buy a rifle and handgun in violation of State and Federal laws, even passing the waiting period.
He then went, in 1989, and shot up the Stockton School Yard killing several students and himself.
The shelved AW ban bill was pulled out and passed before any opposition could be made against it.

After the disastrous failure of Prop 15 in 1982, it is easy to see why all votes are now “rigged”.
It was guaranteed to pass. The Gun Control Crowd was already popping Champagne to celebrate a win. It failed.

The last time I bought ammo it was online. I guess my CC was my ID. I don’t know. I never shoot any of my firearms and probably need to sell them along with ammo.

I prefer mufflers to either suppressors or silencers as it's the most accurate term to reflect their function.

So can CA residents buy, sell, trade, give ammo to each other without CA govt. interaction?
