Over a Barrel

Commencing on July 1, 2026, this bill would, except as specified, prohibit the sale or transfer of a firearm barrel, as defined, unless the transaction is completed in person by a licensed firearms dealer. The bill would require the licensed firearms dealer to conduct a background check of the purchaser or transferee and to record specified information pertaining to the transaction, including the date of the sale or transfer.

How would they know you didn’t do your transactions out of state?

California’s ‘Control Me Because I Can’t Control Myself’ Bill

This bill would require the Department of Justice to develop and launch a system to allow a person who resides in California to voluntarily add their own name to, and subsequently remove their own name from, the California Do Not Sell List, with the purpose of preventing the sale or transfer of a firearm to the person who adds their name, as specified. [More]

So… what the hell are they doing out without a custodian?

“Voluntary,” of course, means coereced to keep from having worse charges filed. Hey, why should people who don’t respect the Second Amendment care about the Fifth?

The feds tried this crap and never did explain where they get the authority from.

Just Like the Founders Intended

This bill would require any applicant for a firearm safety certificate… to complete a training course no less than 8 hours in length… This bill would also require that personal firearm importer to obtain a valid firearm safety certificate and include a copy of the valid firearm safety certificate within the report. [More]

So the “A” isn’t good enough?

It will never be enough. They will always demand more.

Meanwhile…

Of Course You Realize This Means War

U.S. Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., told CNN on Wednesday that Musk is “harming the American public in an enormous way, and what I think is really important and what the American public want, is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight. This is an actual fight for democracy, for the future of this country.” [More]

And naturally, a huge gun-grabber.

So… when he calls Elon Musk “a d*ck,” is he speaking as a subject matter expert?

I’ve submitted a draft to AmmoLand on this piece of Marxist crap.

If At First You Don’t Succeed…

SB 452 is a new microstamp law again already signed already passed and signed by the governor that looks to implement a much stricter microstamping rule in 2028, so basically what California is trying to do here is they’re trying to create a way that they can circumvent the injunction against the microstamping provision of that roster by addressing some of the issues that were brought up by the judge and some of the reasons why he enjoined it in the first place. [Watch]

They’ll never give up and they’ll keep coming back until someone makes them stop.

Will he?

That’s One Way to Get Rid of 54 Democrat Electoral Votes…

Next CA Plan: Declare Independence [More]

Because:

Calexit, a group that campaigns for Californian independence, described Trump’s presidential election win in November as “an attack on everything California cares about” and argued that it strengthened the state’s case for secession.

So Democrats are against democracy…? Let me guess– they’re the same ones who call the South “traitors” over the Civil War.

That’s probably what they’ll also call “red county” Californians who try to leave the new “country.”

Everybody ready for west coast Chicom ports and bases? Beyond what’s already there…?

Permit Me?

Gun Owners of America (GOA), Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), and Gun Owners of California (GOC) joined forces with the California Rifle & Pistol Association and the Second Amendment Foundation to achieve a significant victory. Together, they secured an order implementing a preliminary injunction in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, compelling the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the La Verne Police Department, and state of California to allow their non-resident members to apply for concealed carry permits. [More]

I could have applied before. Will this require them to grant one?

Then again, I got by from 1981 through to 2007 (when we moved) without one, which I admit made things more dangerous since I didn’t dare file a police report…

Here We Go Again

Recall Effort For Governor Newsom To Start Accepting Signatures [Watch]

These videos would be a lot more useful if they gave a link so viewers could sign up.

Say they succeed: Will California Republicans betray principled voters again like they did with Arnhole, or give them — including gun owners– a candidate who makes a dime’s worth of difference?

[Via Jess]

So It’s Not About Principle

HB 1386 creates an additional 11% excise tax on the sale of all ammunition in the state. Firearms and ammunition are already subject to an 11% federal excise tax through the Pittman-Robertson Act, along with a variety of other state and local taxes and fees. The NRA has current litigation against California’s similar 11% excise tax, and will be present at the hearing to oppose this bill. [More]

So 11% taxes are praiseworthy when they benefit Fudds but bad when they benefit gun-grabbers…?

It’s Showtime!

The U.S. Supreme Court has distributed a third Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) case, B&L Productions v. Newsom, for conference on Friday, Jan. 24. The case challenges California’s statutes which ban gun shows on state-owned property. Because the gun shows at issue are not only opportunities to view and purchase firearms, but also for like-minded individuals to assemble and share ideas, the case presents questions about both the First and Second Amendments. [More]

Having followed this issue for many years, I say apathetic gun show attendees own their share of the mess they’ve allowed. They’re no doubt part of the majority that don’t contribute to efforts like this to clean up that mess.

Shall Not Be Infringed Unless…

We learned that the denials were due to font sizes that were too small, the lack of compliant visual indicators, and so forth. We have just received additional responsive documents from the DOJ which explain their position that, pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, the explanatory text for the CLIs must be permanently displayed by engraving, stamping, etching, molding, casting, or other means of permanent marking. If the explanatory text can be removed, such as with acetone, that will NOT be sufficient for roster approval. [More]

Now they’re just being d!cks.

This is one of the things we ought to be pressing Trump on:

Imagine now the Department of Justice under an actual Second Amendment advocate, and what it could do fighting infringements and prohibitionist lawfare waged by states with unlimited tax war chests in tandem with Astroturf prohibitionist groups funded by antigun elites. Right now, the costs to defend against these innumerable assaults on all levels are borne by gun rights groups and members of mostly modest means who can only support a fraction of what is needed. That equation could be turned on its head.

That presupposes Pam Bondi’s inclination to demand infringements can be reined in and reversed.

We’ll Tell You What Your Rights Are

In 2025, several new gun laws will go into effect in California. [More]

More attacks on RKBA, due process, self-incrimination protections, and privacy rights, while dragooning dealers into spreading the state’s terms of surrender…

You’ve got to scroll down to find them. The “real reporter” figured we needed to hear Kamala and Joe prove they’re cluelsss how the election went and demand more infringements on everybody first because of Madison.

Question about Sec. 34210: Do you see anything in there prohibiting dealers from putting a stamp on the pamphlet warning customers it’s state-mandated bull$h!+? I guess if they wanna stay open, because the vindictive bastards don’t neeed laws to persecute…

Must Be the Gun’s Fault…

Slipping at the Blood Dance

Look at the comments. People aren’t buying it anymore.

We’re the Only Ones Threatened Enough

California Allegedly Threatens Police Officers Over Deportation Compliance – CA mayor: The State of California “is threatening to take pensions and charge police officers with felonies if they comply with federal deportation laws.” [More]

Maybe this will let us see what Pam Bondi is made of, and if she can enforce immigration law, why can’t she enforce the Second Amendment?

The Results of Compliance

California keeps a database on on firearm owners in that state that is extremely extensive and there’s really no way to get around that in that state… [Watch]

AB 574?

This bill would, beginning on March 1, 2025, additionally require the register or record to include the acknowledgment by the purchaser or transferee that they have, within the past 30 days, confirmed possession of every firearm that they own or possess.

Well, there actually is a way to get around it, but it comes with a risk. And I do still have mine, and it’s safe from them.

That post, incidentally, elicited all kinds of vitriol from bloviating anonymous keyboard warriors on AR15.com, including comments like “Reads like GOA bullshit. Stopped reading after I’d seen enough.” and “Interview with treasonous communist shitheads that will hopefully choke on a chicken bone and die.”

And people wonder why I don’t join forums…

According to His Nature

The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says California Gov. Gavin Newsom is a hypocrite for signing a law barring local governments from requiring voter identification, while still expecting gun buyers to provide ID before exercising their Second Amendment rights. [More]

Same question I asked here…

So… does this mean they’re reconsidering…?

On with the Show!

Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners in parallel cases challenging California’s ban on gun shows held on public property have filed an emergency application with the U.S. Supreme Court asking that a Ninth Circuit Court mandate be recalled, and a stay be issued pending an appeal to the high court later this year. [More]

Having personally seen California gun show attendees ignore attempts to preserve RKBA, I have to say their apathy has brought much of their plight upon themselves. The same ones probably haven’t contributed a dime to this case.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Bipartisan’ Is

Governor Newsom signs bipartisan legislation to strengthen California’s gun laws [More]

Every bill sponsor in the list has a (D) after his name except AB 3083 (Domestic violence: protective orders: background checks) author/retired trough-feeding “Only One” Tom Lackey, an aptronym if I ever heard one.

Yeah, such endorsements seem to be longtime SOP.

Tell me what incentives California Republicans have not to sell out gun owners again…?
