Quiet Reflections

So California requires one and bans the other… Is this where some idiot “progressive” would say “Yeah, but cars don’t kill people”?

California Dreamin’

In a disappointing turn for California gun owners, Assembly Bill 1092 – a proposed reform that would have extended the lifespan of concealed carry permits (CCWs) from two to four years – failed to pass through the Assembly Public Safety Committee. [More]

Seven Democrats and two Republicans, with one of them a Vichycon squish on guns… what did they think was going to happen? Pass pro-gun bills in California: Good one.

And they’re not even close to talking about the actual right.

How did the place turn blue?

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

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. [More]

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

WWMD?

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?

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.
