Exactly why the firearms industry should write off CA - the LE market in CA isn't enough to justify selling in CA by itself. It's civilian sales that drive the market, there and everywhere. The elitists would be subject to it by default - if there are no firearms available for purchase by them, they won't get any more.
Also, you bear out my point about retreat, reorganize, regroup and take it back later.
This must be the most egregious legislation the democrats have written in quite a while. Lockyer had gubenatorial ambitions. I guess he thinks this will be a winner with the voters?
