Don't hold your breath is a good comment. It costs quite a bit for a company to submit their guns to the testing labs and have them tested for approval. They have to weigh that expense against sales within the state.
For example, I wanted a Nickel CZ-75B. I called CZ and they told me that it cost too much and they were not inclined to do it. All you can get there is the blue or polymer finish now.
Get rid of the Democrats there, Gay (yes I mispelled on purpose) Davis and the Communist legistature and maybe things will change. However, I lived there for 43 years and I don't think it will get better in my life time.
Mexico is dominating the political culture there now. They all vote for Democrats because they promise the largest welfare checks. I love the state. Born and raised there, but politically, I think it is lost. If Davis doesn't get re-elected, Rear End Riordan will. Same difference.
I fought really hard against SB 15, SB 273 (which later became something else) and all the others. It wore me out. The Democrats don't care what you think. They are communists. Vote for any of them and you have forsaken your rights.
I think you will find more guns dropping off the list than being added. When B & B went down last week, this only gets worse.
Now that I think about it, what a great opportunity for an illegal business. Kind of like prohibition except the mass market is not there.

Russ’s statement regarding the cost of the test is on the mark, the only thing he left out was that the test also has an expiration date and the gun has to be resubmitted for testing. If a private citizen did this it would be called extortion.
"It costs quite a bit for a company to submit their guns to the testing labs and have them tested for approval. They have to weigh that expense against sales within the state."
Now with regards to his other statements everyone is entitled to an opinion unfortunately his position regarding the non-gun subject reminds me of how Californians used to treat Oklahomans who were trying to make a better life for them and their families during the depression.

As much as I hate this and similar legislation, this is somewhat false. While it is true that each handgun is certified for a one-year period, there is only a renewal fee involved to extend, to the tune of $200 per handgun model per year, if I recall correctly. In other words, the handgun does not need to be tested again.

It is true about the $200 dollar renewal fee but say a gun is on the list and the manufacturer goes out of business or even changes the model slightly. Now there will be no one to pay the annual fees for the original model of the gun. After 1 year that model becomes unsafe again and can't be sold by a dealer. A good example is the HS 2000. As of march 2002 this gun becomes unsafe again and can't be sold by a dealer even though the springfield XD is identical to the HS and can be sold here. This has nothing to do with safety, the HS2000 has already passed the test. "Safe" guns will continue to be removed from the list. Mark
