Good...keep your principles without accepting reality. This state is on it's way to banning single-shot break action .22s. Just the other day I heard on the TV someone talking about how "the .308 was a machine gun round that fit belt-fed fully-auto military weapons and worse you can buy it in boxes off the internet."Any thing else you want to apologize for
You think Phil Angelides (probably our next governer unless arnold shapes up) is going to stop a bill banning internet purchasing of bullets or stop a bill requiring registration of each box of 20 rounds? bye bye wolf surplus for your soon to be SKS "assault rifle" There is little evidence to support Arnold supporting such a bill.
Hate Ronald Reagan before you hate Arnold. Arnold, at worst, passed a law he didn't push for that required all 200 or so people in the state that even have one to register a gigantic and expensive gun.
Ronald pretty much is the reason we aren't allowed to carry concealed weapons here without our blessed Sheriff's approval because he was afraid of Black people carrying guns.
The majority of people in california support an anti-gun platform. The governer can only veto so much before he gets elected out.
The 50 would have been an issue had he vetoed it. He would have been "the governer in the pocket of terrorists and wacko gun-nuts" The vote was close to a 2/3 majority required to override the veto. That rifle was billed as a giant gun capable of shooting explosive ammunition that would blow up a city block at 6 miles out. Even Barrett himself used the "it's a sporting rifle" as the only argument against.The .50 is a non issue, the anti's just wanted to ban something else.
There aren't enough shooters left in this state to sway the argument in favor of guns. Next stop, anything in .308 "the machine gun round"
