De facto registration leads to confiscation, arrest and possibly death. The wolves are going after those big, lovable, wouldn't-harm-a-flea lugs with 50cals, eating them one-by-one. The wolves can no longer be ignored.
Ir you thought the FCSA member lists were "protected," think again. How did this FCSA member get outed? BATFE at local shoots. That's all it takes: Note who has a 50cal and write down his/her name from the shooting range sign-in sheet or just observe which car he/she leaves in and write down the license plate number.
If you still have your 50cal and shot it at a match or other event, you could be compromised. Even if you sold it, shipped it out of state, you should consider arrest imminent. If you own other banned weapons, what are you doing in California?
Message to Joe Idiot Voter: anyone with one of these will be shooting at cops. (End Message).
My first response was "this gun has never been used to commit a crime in this state!!". Good for Ronnie Barret that the LEOs that bought his gun will have to get someone else to service it, since it's banning in Calif. Screw them and the benefit package/retirement/disability rip-offs that they rode in on. Badges should go only to patriots, not parasites.
Anyone who believes that those who 'serve and protect' wouldn't escort you and your family into ovens if given the order, is living in complete denial.
