More Cali madness. Ultimate intent: no bullets.

It'll be a snap to turn gun owners into felons with this web of insane laws.

In a way though, they're back-handedly admitting that "ballistic fingerprints" were a technological and bureaucratic dead end.

Are bullets made of different material now? How long would it take to obliterate a laser mark?

More Cali madness. Ultimate intent: no bullets

No doubt about it.

Also, think how easy it would be for a Kali-JBT to "plant" an outlawed 'pre-ban' cartridge in the house or car of a gun-owner, and use it as a pretense to confiscate ALL his guns.

[Mulder]

I'm sure they'll make possession of unmarked ammo a felony.

Unless your a cop or one of the elites.

get punished, while someone who commits assault will get a misdemeanor

Have "outlawed" ammo will probably be a felony, punishable by 5 years for every cartridge. If there is a good side to this, it could be that a few folks looking at hundreds of thousands of years in jail, decide to add on a few offenses that could only get them 30 or 40 years each.

Of course once they tag you with a felony, there goes your RKBA, even if you move to Texas or other "gun friendly" location, the feds will see to that.

Yeah, Ashcroft and company enjoy enforcing this provision of federal law (while ignoring the 2nd amendment). They even argued in court that an American convicted in Mexico should lose his right privlidge to keep and bear arms.

It would be even worse under a Kerry administration.

And criminals will drive across the state line to buy their ammunition.

[Mulder]

But, of course, that is exactly what Lockyer wants - to make it impossible to exercise the RKBA in California.

One method of banning something is to make a lot of confusing laws, which not even those charged with enforcing them can understand. This discourgages 'average citizens' from participating in whatever they are trying to ban. It's worked to some degree with the RKBA, and I expect it to spread to other areas too, like the internet.

The intent of the RAT-infested state legislature is to deny Constitutional rights

Which is a federal felony. Think the HRT will raid these bastards at o'dark-thirty?

[Mulder]

And criminals will drive across the state line to buy their ammunition

So they'll enact hardened checkpoints on the interstate to "close the loophole".

[Libertina]

Earth to CA nutbar: You cannot curb violence by putting numbers on bullets. Violence is within hearts - not guns.

[Squantos]

As long as cars shimmy I'll have bullets........

[Travis McGee]

Yep. Just drop a "pre ban" bullet in your political enemies car. Instant felon, no RKBA.

And remember, Nov 19th is Kim Dutoit's National Ammunition Day. If you buy a case, and it will become useless to try to disarm us by banning or taxing bullets.

And the folks who make and sell them are our friends in this fight.

BLOAT!
