It sure ain't gonna happen in California! We've got our own "AW ban". Very few "registered" their "AW's", so we're well armed for when the confiscation attempt comes. Of course, I don't know anybody who has one, and they fell in the lake on a hunting trip anyway!

Just under four months from today, Americans will be able to walk out of a gun store with an AK-47 rifle, an Uzi or other weapon of mass murder under their arm.

The above statement is so full of lies.

Truth number one: You can't purchase guns that even look close to Uzis in California. They were made illegal in 1999 as were all magazines that can hold over ten rounds of ammunition.

Truth number two: Fully automatic weapons are not covered under the 1994 Clinton gun ban.

Truth number three: Fully automatic weapons are very hard to get because they require extensive background checks, paperwork and a $200 tax.

Since when is the Los Angeles Times interested in reporting the truth about guns anyway?

I know people who own rifles in California that have been labeled "assault weapons" by the freedom hating politicians of the state.

Did they register their rifles? Nope and they never will.
