See link for the whole, dastardly bill text.

The rotten Nazis in Sacramento are at it again. I guess nobody told these California Socialist DemonRATS that their party is trying to "shed the anti-RKBA" image.

This bill would ban any rifle firing .50 cal, ban the sale (or possession) of .50 cal ammo, and require that those who currently own such must apply for a permit to keep it. In addition, there are some very vague, but ominous provisions that could essentially ban ALL FMJ rifle ammo.

The Nazi-controlled government of California never saw an unconstitutional gun bill it didn't like; nor is there any concern about the Constitutional protection of the RKBA in California. Don't like it? Move out the state, give up yours guns and your rights, or we will turn you into a felon. Ex-post Facto? What the hell is that? Unconstitutional you say? We don't give a damn about your f'ing rights! Submit or be crushed, like the rabble that you are! The government in California is SUPREME!

"...that's no hair off my back"

So, keep your back-hairs. I've got my guns and the God-given right to 'em. Go scratch.

Fast forward.........

January 2005. AB.22 as proposed will ban all .22 calibur rifles, which have previously been reclassified as assault weapons. .22 calibur handguns are already banned.

All weapons are assault weapons!

I see you have not been paying attention.....

Funny how the only ones worried about armor-piercing .50BMG rifles are liberals riding around in armored limousines.

[Dawgsquat]

Is this for .50 BMG? How about .50 ACP? Would a rifle in .50 BMG without a scope be considered a sniper rifle?

[AAABEST]

In terms of banning such weapons from common citizens with no governmental affiliation, that's no hair off my back

I worry about .50BMG rifles, and I'm a conservative. That's why I bought a $200 case for mine. At the cost of the thing, I don't want any scratches on it.

The best question I've heard concerning these types of issues was raised by John Ross in "Unintended Consequences". No one would fault you for shooting and/or fighting the concentration camp guard as he escorts you to the gas chamber, but assaulting the local cop as he writes you a ticket would be unproductive at best and result in nothing more than long prison sentances at worst.

The real question is - What's the dividing line? When does the unthinkable become the required? When do you say "This far and no further."

[45Auto]

You are obviously beyond reason.....nothing personal, just have given up on your type.

[AAABEST]

"But I think 50 caliber are a bit excessive for gopher hunting."

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the sport of "gopher hunting", the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

[Ajnin]

What are you talking about? Most .50's are bolt action rifles similar in accuracy and power to the 338 Lapua which is similar to 308's which are similar to 7mm mags....on down the line to .22 cal rifles.

Your problem's with the Constitution. Start the amedment process. But keep your legislative paws off our guns!
