Anyone remember when California tried to ban handguns back in 1982 with Prop 15?

https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_15,_Handgun_Registration_Initiative_%281982%29

It was guaranteed to pass!
Handgun Control Inc. (HCI now the Brady Center) was already popping Champagne corks for the coming victory!

CBS even had an hour special the night before in an attempt to get out the anti-gun vote!

It went down in a humiliating defeat as the citizens of California rejected it.

Since that day, the politicians of Cali have been trying to find ways around the will of the voters one nibble at a time.

Yes, I do!

I lived in California back then, and I was one of the citizens of California who rejected proposition 15.

Sorry to say it, but if that Election were held TODAY, it would Pass with flying colors.

Believe me, I am trapped here.
