While Arizona moves toward freedom and protection of the border, California moves toward elimination of Constitutional rights.

[gogogodzilla]

Looks like California wants people to only open-carry loaded weapons, then...

[tgusa]

Welcome to CA, where your rights disappear nearly as quickly as your money.

[umgud]

So, no open carry, and damned few ccw’s. I assume locked container carry. I wonder if there are exemptions for hunting, plinking?

"The “open carry” measure, which passed without a vote to spare, 41-25, now goes to the Senate"

Can someone explain this sentence to me? It barely passed but it had a 16 vote margin. How is that passing without a vote to spare???

[Vaquero]

there just pipes without ammo.

Load those weapons, LaLa Landers!

Of what use is it to carry an unloaded gun?

[fire4effect]

Why walk around with an unloaded gun? Sounds like a stupid idea to me.

“With rights come responsibilities,” said Assemblywoman Lori Saldaña, D-San Diego, who is the author of Assembly Bill 1934. “Carrying a gun simply because you can is not responsible ownership.”

Is Lori in charge of the "thought-police?" Is she the judge and jury on what constitutes "responsible ownership?" Or is Lori just another politician with a disordered mind? Her vision of utopia is a world without guns. Of course she wants to take away guns from law abiding citizens because that is far easier than taking them away from criminals. Then she and her ilk will "feel better" about themselves for trying.

Why don’t you Californians just give up and split up? Your State is lost forever.

“Carrying owning a gun simply because you can is not responsible ownership.”

This is what happens when you allow tyrants to run your life.

If you can't vote them out and the Courts are sympathetic to their cause, then more extreme measures may be necessary.

“With rights come responsibilities,” said Assemblywoman Lori Saldaña, D-San Diego, who is the author of Assembly Bill 1934. “Carrying a gun simply because you can is not responsible ownership.”

She has quite a warped understanding of the definition of freedom. But would she agree that “speaking an opinion simply because you can is not responsible citizenship”?

[Pollster1]

“Carrying a gun simply because you can is not responsible ownership.”

Locking a gun up in a safe that requires a key, a four digit combination lock with at least one hundred million possible combinations, and the biometrics from two people to start a timer to open the door is responsible ownership. As for the "shall not be infringed" suggestion in the obsolete Constitution, that's not what today's leaders would have written for today's situation, and it's not what other nations' laws say, so it has no legal force.

What makes those republicans think that having a right to keep and bear arms means that they are actually permitted to do so? Working people who carry firearms for self-defense are nothing like armed Black Panthers intimidating voters in Philadelphia, so Dems aren't going to ignore their weapons.

“With rights come responsibilities,” said Assemblywoman Lori Saldaña, D-San Diego, who is the author of Assembly Bill 1934. “Carrying a gun simply because you can is not responsible ownership.”

This looks exactly like something John Semmens would write, but sadly, this isn't satire.

She actually put into words what they all think.

[SouthTexas]

ban Californians from carrying unloaded weapons in public.

This is good. Carrying an unloaded gun is about as useful as carrying a rock.

[Toadman]

“With rights come responsibilities,” said Assemblywoman Lori Saldaña, D-San Diego, who is the author of Assembly Bill 1934. “Carrying a gun simply because you can is not responsible ownership.”

So by that line of reasoning, we should make flag burning illegal too? Freedom of speech is a right, is it not? In California, the legislature can make the constitutional "right" of free speech illegal?!! Because by their reasoning the speaker spoke in an irresponsible manner?

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Oscar... Elected representatives should take civics 101.

[lainie]

They want it to be illegal to walk around with unloaded hunks of metal. Guess knives are next.

I live in Yuba City an hour north of Sacramento.

Yesterday at the sandwich shop, somebody came in open carrying a semi-auto. Didn’t look like a cop, but who knows.

Today at the Mexican restaurant, two plain clothes cops in wearing dress shirts and ties but no jackets, came in open carrying firearms.

Man, I just love seeing people carrying firearms in the wild!
