The reason the gunbanners passed this repeal and that Governor Davis signed it into law as a nod to his party's liberal base is to make handguns so prohibitively expensive in California through an avalanche of lawsuits that gun manufacturers will just stop selling guns here. Its de facto prohibition they're after.

Some times I think the best way to respond to these things is to give them exactly what they want.

Manufacturers should announce today they will no longer sell guns in California, period. Don't ship a single firearm to California, not to stores, not to gun dealers, not to police.

Let all of the gun dealers go to Sacremento to ask Davis what he's going to do for them. Let the police do without. Let Davis's bodyguards do without.

Have the manufacturers announce recalls of all the weapons they have already sold to escape liability.

Let the ammo manufacturers do the same thing, they know they're next anyway. Quit selling ammo there and recall what's sold.

Current owners will face a few hardships getting ammo from Nv or AZ. Police will go nuts.

Dealers of course have the most at risk. If they stand firm and camp on Davis's doorstep, I'm betting they can get this repealed.

I have always said that if big tobacco had done this in Florida, Massachusets and Minnesota, there would never had been a tobacco settlement.

Bingo. It won't happen, but we can dream....it would be a totally appropriate response.

Its worth repeating -make everybody, especially law enforcement, buy their guns out of state.

It's clear that's the unspoken goal, so let's see what happens when it comes home to roost.
