"Ya know, we need a mayor in California to start issuing 'Assault Weapons' licenses and hand gun licenses to any and all applicants save felons"

That is exactly the response that is required.

"Ya know, we need a mayor in California to start issuing 'Assault Weapons' licenses and hand gun licenses to any and all applicants save felons"

That is exactly the response that is required.

In some small town & rural areas of California, the local sheriffs (who have discretionary power over CCWs), do exactly that -- they issue a permit to any honest citizen who asks, just as if they were in a "shall-issue" state.

Alas, here in Lost Angeles county, it ain't so.
