What can I say - the Kali legislature is now, officially, off of its rocker. I'm sure that many of you have said this before, but this article puts the nail in the coffin.

You've just got to love the principled position of Rudy Bermudez - he's only worried if HE can go to jail under this law for possessing a round of ordinary ammunition, not anyone else.

I've emphasized certain points in bold.

.50 cal. BANG!

After reading this thread, check out GUN FACTS 3.3.

Knowledge is power. Read it, study it, pass it along.

It looks like Koretz is finally backing down:

AB 50 Status:

LAST HIST. ACTION : In committee: Set, first hearing. Hearing canceled at the request of author.

Maybe he got enough of looking like a complete blithering idiot in the first hearing.

She never mentions gun control, but the circus described sounds like a Rand novel.

As was stated early in the article, "The fix was in."

Your opponent Rudy was on the right side this time (although only for selfish reasons).

[Feiny]

Shocking.....NOT!

The way to beat the gun-grabbers in Cali would seem to be in the newly popular ballot initiative.

Get a million signatures and then the whole state has to have an election to vote on your proposal.

Mine would say: All state of California gun laws prior to this date are hereby voided, and enforcement or prosecution of any of the newly voided laws is hereby made a felony.

Kali is FUBAR. The question is, can America remain a superpower with Kali morphing into Aztlanistan?

One of the constants seen in almost all discussions about banning the .50 is the remark about the round going through a limo. This is what has the politicians scared to death.

They know that they eventually will be held to account for their misdeeds, and they have to come out sometime.

A representative of the Los Angeles Police Department with 26 years on the job admitted that in all that time he had never run into a single .50 caliber rifle involved in any way with any criminal activity. Not once.

“Well then explain to me Officer, how is it that you don’t want to ban things that have killed people, yet you want to ban something that you admit has never killed anyone and has never been used in any sort of crime?” Speechless, the officer mumbled and backed away from the microphone.

Look you people, if you expect LEO's to champion your 2nd. Amendment rights, IMHO, it's expecting the fox to guard the coup. LEO's are government employee's and not prone to independent, abstract thought. They may be members of the NRA, teach gun safety,etc., but in the bitter end, they won't bite the hand that feeds them in Sacramento or imperil their rights to carry, open or concealed to protect your basic right to self defense. It's too bad, but that's just the way it is.

Just an hour earlier, Assemblywoman Goldberg found ample passion to debate a law that would make it illegal for a sports-event spectator to hurl his cellphone at an athlete,...

Once Jackie Goldberg was elected to the legislature in Sacramento, I knew California was finished. It's not that she's a Lesbian. It's not that she's fat. It's not that she's a Democrat. It is because Jackie Goldberg is a world class nit-wit. That someone so shallow and bereft of sentient existence could be an assembly "person" is truly beyond bizarre.

At one point they claimed that the .50 could "bring down a helicopter in one shot."

I wrote a letter to the editor (not published):

"I'm certainly glad someone is finally doing something about this rash of helicopter shooting. One of them fell in my back yard yesterday. The fellow who shot it only winged it; I had to put it out of its misery."

I wonder why they didn't print it.
