Gruesome Newsome can kiss my butt and go to the Devil for all I care. It's time to stand up to these bullies. They see us as demons but the real demons are themselves.

Yet not a word about the rap/gangsta/thug music industry shutting down.
Or the first-person shooter videogame industry.
Looks like a big 1st amendment attack.
Lots of things from that time would drive many of them into seizures. Probably wouldn’t be a bad thing.
But, I’m having hard time with this one.
I haven’t read or skimmed through Sports Afield in a while, but I don’t remember seeing ads geared toward kids and guns. I do remember seeing ads showing a kid with his dad. Is that what is covered under this law.
From all the shooting I’ve done, especially in USPSA, the kids were exposed to guns by their parents.
Wonder what this will do to the Outdoor Channel’s “Midway USA Wednesday Night at the Range”?
Will the law apply to video games and movies that glamorize the misuse of firearms to inflict harm? Or is it just about harassing gun makers and not really dealing with the alleged problem?
California, and the people there of, are sick plumb to the bone.. Maybe it's the smog, or the salt air has pickled their brain.(?)
Drivebys in South Central, however, continue apace.
When they banned cigarette adverts, nobody complained...
I’m old enough to remember when parents got their sons rifles for Christmas.
The best thing one can do to get young people to try something is to tell them they can’t do it. Run ads stating thst the guns “ARE NOT” to be used by teens lol.
Got my rifle on Dec 25, 1961! I was 14 years old. I could actually buy ammo for it at that age! .22 shorts. 45 cents a box of 50!
No questions asked, no background check, no paperwork! Cash and carry!
And the murder rate was very low!
In 1962, Thomas J. Dodd and Emanuel Celler started calling for “Registration of all handguns! Rifles will not be affected!”
A great many still do so.
The propaganda is to make us think we are a small minority.
I remember that ad and Marlin was a regular, too. I recall that Remington really promoted their Nylon 66 model in Boys’ Life. Also, I don’t recall the manufacturer but there was a gun made that combined a .22 with a shotgun barrel that appeared in the advertisements in BL, too.
Never forget the great object here is to completely disarm the public so that no ultimate form of resistance to tyranny is reasonably possible.
Arguments of logic or constitutionality will not win against this mindset of the grabbers. Only beating them at the polls will do it — which is why, of course, elections will be rigged wherever possible.
You’ll shoot your eye out!
The sole purpose of this travesty is to exercise the exception to the PLCAA. Said law says that you cannot sue gun manufacturers for crimes committed by gun “users”. Like with some Ahole DUI — the victim can’t sue Ford ‘cause the drunk bastid was driving a Ford. Common sense.
But, gun controllers have no common sense. They made a business out of suing every gun builder anytime some sick bastid shot some folk. So, Congress wrote PLCAA to say you can’t do that unless the gun builder marketed to kiddies. Why? Have no bloody idea.
But, now TwoSomeNewsome pounced on this and got this law put in place so CaCaLand lawyers can sue every gun builder in the world ‘cause some felon Newsome let out without bail chose to shoot some folk.
All guns ads now need to exclude kiddies.
Noosome was especially ‘triggered’ by ads for the JR-15 rifle.

Specifically, AB 2571 “prohibits all advertising and marketing communication that is attractive to minors (18 years of age)” by a “firearm industry member.” That definition of who is a “firearm industry member” is extremely broad and applies to almost anyone seeking to communicate with youth about firearms and firearm-related products and events.“
[This marketing and communication is so broad as to include gun related T-shirts, stuffed animals (Eddie Eagle), and whatever else their demon-inspired minds can conjure up]
Meanwhile:

I went to bed a law abiding citizen, and awoke a felon.
