Gavin Newsom, gun grabber

California's new governor, Gavin Newsom, is making quite a name for himself, setting out, with neither laws nor the Second Amendment, to grab guns.

Here's what the Los Angeles Times is reporting:

In his state budget plan released days after he took the oath of office, Newsom proposed adding $5.6 million — about 50% more than in Brown’s budget this year — to seize guns from thousands more people who are ineligible to possess firearms because of criminal convictions or mental illness.

The governor is also asking lawmakers to beef up a California Department of Justice unit responsible for enforcing laws on gun sales. And his budget proposes more money for the Firearms Violence Research Center at UC Davis.

An armed commie population is nothing more than a bunch of phony “commie wannabes”. You must surrender all weapons to the government to be a real communist.

you ain’t seen nothing yet. This guy is further left than Brown. He destroyed SF and now has 8 years to do the same statewide.

don’t care what you do in California (it’s not part of america to me, nor do i recognize the populace there as citizens) but you’ll get lots of ‘wireless freedom chip implants’ if you try there elsewhere.

Now would be the time for Californians to leave-as we did 4 years ago. This guy is a radical progressive.

Hard to believe this is the same state that, in 1982, the voters TURNED DOWN Prop 15, to register and ban new handguns in California.

Since then, the politicians have found dozens of ways around the will of the people at that time.

The leftist socialist commies are ruining what once was a nice state. No reason to live in California.

And a more compliant sheep-like population that won't fight back.

Take all the guns then close the state borders or at least the less than difficult crossing points. Only foreigners without visas to be let in. No one to go out.

Isn’t California bleeding population like other gungrabbing blue states?

Oh, I forgot; illegals and faggies are moving there in droves.

The socialists are insane not stupid, they need to confiscate all the firearms before they start killing their enemies.

So... It means the convicts and those in the LGBT crowd will no longer be able to own a firearm in CA. That covers a large portion of the State population.
