Can’t say I blame them. I know several people from Northern California and they are surprisingly sane. I’d gladly trade them for Austin, which would fit right in with Southern California.
I have a very good friend who lives in San Bernardino. She was anti-gun until about a year or so ago, when she woke up. She has since become an NRA-certified instructor and runs her own women’s firearms training company, in addition to her regular job. I couldn’t believe what she told me last night. In California, in order for a handgun to be legal to sell, it has to be on the official “roster” of handguns approved by the state. She said that guns come off the roster all the time for various reasons, and that if a gun manufacturer wants to submit a new gun or a new revision to get it put back on the roster, it costs $1 million to do that - even if the change is as simple as changing the color. Sure enough, she sent me the link to the roster, and it’s right there in black and white.
Is this constitutional? Obviously not. Is there anyone in California that will do anything about it? LOL
