Sacramento, CA --(Ammoland.com)-On January 23, 2013, the City of San Jose’s Rules and Open Government Committee considered a proposed ordinance that would have required owners of so-called “assault weapons” to register and store such firearms with the police department, and to provide the department with a reasonable explanation of “need” before their firearms could be released to them.
The National Rifle Association (NRA) and CRPA Foundation (CRPAF), as part of their joint Local Ordinance Project effort, had attorneys from the law firm of Michel & Associates, P.C. submit a letter to the Committee opposing the proposed ordinance. The letter explained how the proposal is preempted by state law on various grounds and would be struck down in court. The Committee decided not to take any further action on the ordinance.
This is not the first local effort of this type. NRA and CRPAF previously had attorneys from Michel & Associates contact the City of Berkeley to encourage the city to repeal its “assault weapon” ordinance. Before that, NRA’s attorneys received official confirmation from various cities that their “assault weapon” ordinances were considered preempted and unenforceable.
San Jose’s rejection of the proposed ordinance marks the latest example of local governments understanding their limits when it comes to gun laws. Recently, the City of Capitola also thoughtfully rejected an ill-conceived package of gun control ordinances after receiving a letter from NRA/CRPAF attorneys.
On the other side, in a refreshing move that underscores the sharp cultural divide on the meaning and parameters of the right to self-defense and to keep and bear arms, the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution, and the Lemoore City Council adopted a resolution in support of the Second Amendment and the right of the people to keep and bear arms.

You also are not allowed to go there by yourself to shoot if you are going to rent a weapon. You can take your own gun there by yourself (if you’re a California resident) but if you’re going to rent a gun, you have to have a buddy with you. I guess this is to prevent someone from going in, renting a gun, and committing suicide.
By the way, I picked up a 500 round .223 carton at Wal-Mart for $154 tonight. :)
Sounds to me like we “need” to start Hanging Tyrants in the Village Square.
Remember, it isn’t a “want”, and it really isn’t a “need”, it’s becoming a Necessity.
Hang the Tyrants, and after their Sycophant Media Buddies publish their version of the event, hang them as well.
A Man can dream...
