I hear you!
Once upon a time, I lived in S.F., CA. I now live in WA state. When the ultra-liberals passed the assualt weapon ban in CA, I lived in WA and I called the and e-mailed the State Dept of Justice (or what ever it is called, maybe attorney General's office, I have forgotten in the years since.) I had inherited a paratrooper M1 Cabine from my wife's father.
I asked them if since it had a folding stock, a bayonet lug, was semi-auto and capable of standard 20 to 30 round clips if it was illegal to own, should I ever want to retire in California. They told me that yes, I would have to either remove some of the features, make it inoperable, or surrender it to police, should I ever wish to retire to California. I told them that it was only an M1 Carbine a fairly common semi-automatic rifle of not much knock down power. They didn't care.
Bottom line, is that I will not take my retirement money and help that state's economy.
