As I previously stated-with or without the Gov’s signature the legislature can override with a 2/3 majority vote from both chambers of general assembly which they currently control.

I always get great amusement of California bashing.
That's what we were saying about everybody moving to California 50-60 years ago:). I was born there and we had fantastic upland, waterfowl hunting and salt water fishing back in the 50s,60s and 70s when I was growing up. Some days we'd surf in the morning and hunt desert quail in the afternoon. Change is hard.
Population went from 19 million in 1970 to about 38 million now.
It was a sportsman's paradise.I left over 20 years ago.
I remember back in grade school (60s), the teacher did a survey in our class of 25-30, and only 3 of us were born in California. My folks were from Utah and Colorado. It's horrible what's happened to CA. I had a great time growing up there.

"True, 2/3 of the legislature has already been brainwashed into statist socialist "do-gooder" outlooks," Terry said, consciously violating a rule about casting a distinct group of people in a negative light.<evil grin>
 
Dodo Bird - there have been numerous times that I have been "corrected" by people more knowledgeable than myself, not just here but at other forums I frequent. Most of those times, I thank them for pointing out my errors and adding to my "knowledge base", especially when, with very few derogatory remarks, they have been polite and succinct. It's a matter of "share the wealth" at most forums, although there are a few "malcontents" (aka "boat rockers") that seem to thrive on discord.
Have fun ! ;)
 
Oh, California isn't the only one. It's just kind of a "pointee" when discussing unthinking "liberal" "do gooder" socialist viewpoints. You might just as well use Illinois or NY or NJ as surrogate pointees.

In the late eighties I was seriously considering moving to CA, largely based on the gun freedom it represented. Skeeter Skelton's writings from CA had a lot to do with that. (I was also thinking of Australia.)

But both options started to smell to me.

Folks seem to forget California was fairly conservative. Starting changing in the 80s.

I'd rather be a boat rocker than a boat anchor.

However, I'll admit to seeing a number of cases of arguing for the sheer sake of arguing... almost as if they were just trying to make points with the judges of a sophomore debating club debate.

While totally understanding that there are anti gun republicans out there as well, at the federal level it seems we are only one house rep away from draconian gun control. Colorado notwithstanding, I fear this discussion is about to become national. We haven’t been this close since the 90’s or so.

With the way the GOP is presently imploding, I fear that you are correct in this assessment. Too many on our side are not paying attention, spending time chiding or making fun of those of us who reside behind enemy lines while celebrating minor "victories" on the state level ("Oh look! Another state that doesn't require permits to carry concealed!") ...

Yes, I've characterized that as being content to sit on the back porch shooting tin cans off the fence with our .22s.

"They'll never take our guns. Did you see the reviews of that new Horfenberg .273 with the 15 round clip?" Joe said.

"That's 'magazine,' you idiot," Pete responded.

Bang! "Got that Bud Lite can that time," Joe grinned.

The whole gun control/freedom argument is indicative of the malaise and forsaking of individuality by the majority of the populace. Until people start thinking and acting for themselves in conjunction with being a part of a society we'll continue to see gun control, abortion regulation, school issues and general 'people ' infringements. Just my $.02...

HAH!
I was a sophomore debate clubber. And junior and senior. Was a lot of fun.

That's a pretty broad gun ban. I'd think that has little chance of passing muster with any federal court since the supreme court has readily affirmed the absolute right of citizens to bear arms via several recent cases. .

I believe the SCOTUS recently declined to hear a challenge to the IL AWB.
