It is my understanding, correct me if I'm wrong, that the state legislature has passed, and the governor has signed legislation outlawing "hi-cap magazines (more than 10 rounds)". This legislation includes ALL items, there being no provision "grandfathering in" existing items, already owned.
Seems that for some time now, California has been a hot-bed of anti gun legislation and agitation. For instance, the original "assault weapons bill (Roberti-Roos was enacted in 1989". There have been, at state level, several elections since then, and from what has happened in the legislative field since, it seems that the anti-gunners have been getting re-elected, perhaps they have added to their numbers at Sacramento.
Don't pro-gunners in California to vote, or are there so few of them, this seems counter to what I remember of the area when I lived there years ago, that they cannot make a difference at election time, or during the primaries?
I have heard people say "I don't vote cause my vote does not make any difference". Maybe so, but in the last election, a seat in The Unites States Senate from Nevada turned on about 500 votes. Anyone believe that in Nevada, there weren't 5 or 600 voters who stayed away, because "their votes didn't count". Might that be the answer for California, who knows, but in some races, a few hundred votes most definately can make a large difference.
For those who are not California voters, think that voting in your own elections might perhaps become a worth while exercise? Needless to say, often it is NOT a question of a democrat vs a republican, for some have claimed that the only difference between the two is the speed at which they will betray gun owners rights, a position that might be hard fact. Take a close look at voting records, and ask questions, the answers one sometimes gets can be surprising.
