California's state Senate Democrats roll out big gun control package (Considering to Confiscate)

All semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines would be banned, all guns would be registered and no ammunition could be bought without a special permit in California under a sweeping list of bills rolled out Thursday by state Senate Democrats.

The 10-bill package constitutes the single largest gun control push in decades in the Golden State, which already boasts some of the nation's strictest gun laws. It joins equally controversial proposals from Assembly Democrats that would regulate and tax ammunition sales and consider taking the state's 166,000 registered assault weapons from their owners.

This first unified California plan comes less than a month after New York adopted its own sweeping package of new gun controls and President Barack Obama announced a package of executive actions, all in the wake of December's Connecticut schoolhouse massacre. Even as this plan emerged Thursday, House Democrats' gun violence task force was announcing 15 "policy principles," including protecting Second Amendment rights but also instituting universal background checks and reinstating a federal assault weapons ban.

"We respect the Second Amendment right of law-abiding citizens to have guns for hunting, for sport,

proliferation of guns designed to be fired and reloaded rapidly," he said. "We can save lives by getting guns and ammunition out of the hands of the wrong people. We can save lives if every gun owner knows how to safely handle those guns. And if we can save lives, we must act to do so."

Gene Hoffman of Redwood City, co-founder and chairman of the Calguns Foundation gun rights group, countered that "almost every item in the proposal is wildly unconstitutional."

The ultra-liberal progressives aka communists are running California into the ground.

[rottndog]

IIRC, it was democrat AG Bill Lockyer who ‘reinterpreted’ the law and ordered the SKS confiscation. Confiscation was always intended by the law...they just didn’t say that up front—they never do.

LESSON: Registration ALWAYS leads to confiscation.

That only applied to the ChiCom SKS rifles that used AK47 detachable magazines. Lundgen allowed those to be registered in the 1st year after the deadline passed, but that decision was overturned and left the owners high and dry.

Mass non-compliance...CORRECT! Remember, refuse, delay, deny, obstruct, sabotage. There is strength in numbers, and we must become the freedom fighters of this war, as many men and women were in WWII.

Villar's B.O.'s errand boy on gun control in California, no doubt.

Listen, Villar...gotta favor to call in.

Where, oh, where will Tony Villar go after he's term limited out in 2013? And with such qualifications!/S

*"... The New Yorker also reported that in 1994, while Corina was undergoing treatment for thyroid cancer, Villaraigosa was involved with a friend's wife and Corina filed for dissolution of marriage at that time."

*"...In 2009 the Los Angeles Times published an investigative report questioning the assignment of high-paying government jobs to those with close family or other personal connections to those in political power, pointing out that California taxpayers pay Marisela Villar, daughter of Villaraigosa, $68,000 for work as a "field representative" answering constituent calls and arranging community meetings. Ms. Villar reportedly has no degrees or other particular qualifications for the position, to which she was appointed by close political allies of her father. "It looks like nepotism," said Tracy Westen, chief executive of the Center for Governmental Studies in Los Angeles. "It's the kind of thing the public doesn't like: people using their power and influence to provide cushy jobs to friends and family."

*"...In June 2010, a formal ethics investigation of Villariagosa was launched, due to his unreported acceptance of 81 tickets to concerts, awards ceremonies and sporting events. Estimates - including the 13 Lakers courtside tickets valued at $3,100 each and Academy Awards and Governor’s Ball tickets at $21,000 each—suggest that the value of the tickets could amount to tens of thousands of dollars. The unreported tickets came to light after the City of Los Angeles paid $3.2 million for Michael Jackson's Memorial, including $2 million in police overtime."

Over 20 years ago California passed a law requiring the registration of all scary weapons. They were supposed to have a grace period of several years so everyone who registered after the deadline would be grandfathered in. They lied. Everyone who registered after the cutoff date had their firearms confiscated. Now they are thinking about coming after the rest.

Excellent graphic. Thanks for posting. Says it all. .

Define “packing”.

[devolve]

1994 - WHITE on WHITE = 1,178 homicides
1994 - WHITE on ALL GROUPS = 1,386 homicides

-

1994 actual homicides with population = 260 million:

Whites & Hispanics (combined)= 219 million x 3.22 homicides per 100k = 7,056 homicides
3.22/100,000 homicides

WHITES = 198 million x 0.7 homicides per 100,000 Homicides (by Whites Only) = 1,386 homicides = 20% of White and Hispanic homicides
.7/100,000 homicides

HISPANICS = 21 million x 27 homicides per 100,000 Hispanics = 5,670 homicides = 80% of White and Hispanic homicides
27/100,000 homicides

BLACKS = 31 million x 52 homicides per 100,000 Blacks = 16,120 homicides
52/100,000 homicides

"OTHERS" = 10 million x 1.24 homicides per Other = 124 homicides
1.24/100,000 homicides

These are Official 1994 US GOVERNMENT CRIME STATISTICS DURING THE SLICK WILLIE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION with US Department of Justice Attorney General Janet Reno and FBI Director Louis Freeh providing this information for publication -

They’re going to disarm us, aren’t they?

[lentulusgracchus]

They deliberately leave guns in the hands of the violent criminals while trying to take them away from honest, non-violent citizens.

They aren't worried about criminals challenging a totalitarian coup d'etat. Only honest people would do that. Therefore, honest people are the Main Enemy.

And you know what that means, in Stalinspeak.

"We can save lives by getting guns and ammunition out of the hands of the wrong people....."

That is to say, honest people. So that only creatures of the Apparatus, henchmen of the Permanent Ruling Class, will possess them.

[Politicalmom]

I’ve been trying to get my elderly parents to leave. If Prop. 13 goes down, that will probably be the last straw. They built their house almost 40 years ago. Their property taxes will probably be $10K if it happens.

[Cheerio]

They deliberately leave guns in the hands of the violent criminals while trying to take them away from honest, non-violent citizens.

The goal of all these libtards is to make as many sheeple as possible dependent 100% on the government. Of course what these morons never want to talk about is the response time when your home is invaded by the very criminals they seek to protect.

We have truly fallen down Alice's rabbit hole, up is down, left is right, yada yada.

[cpdiii]

If this passes, my guns my money and my family will be gone within 6 months. If they think I can be replaced by an illegal immigrant who will pay the taxes I do they are going to be surprised. I will rent my home and spend those profits in my new home state. KMA Kali.

Texas needs people with your attitude. Come on down here, you will be welcomed!

[cpdiii]

So much for all those dissembling re-assurances that registration would not lead to confiscation.

Registration is delayed confiscation.
