I'm not sure how it could be done but if other states can help in hose types of ways as members of Congress or something... again, I'm not sure how but someone smarter than me politically might have ideas too.
You want our states' reps to help in unspecified ways, through unspecified processes, that operate outside our states' borders. I understand your desire for a Deus-ex-Machina solution that makes this all go away, but might I suggest educating yourself on what/how the US congress can do, how popular representation works in the US, as well as some sort of primer on state-level politics in CA. It is impossible to compose a strategy, or understand someone else's, if you do not know the rules of the game. Much less win that game.
Even when I lived in AZ, I still donated something to the Calguns foundation every year.
Ah, now I see; ya'll want our money. Texas orgs and others need it, too, plus I can expect to actually see some results by giving it to them. CA needs to demonstrate it is a good investment, if you want us to divert our precious resources (to a notably resource-rich state, I might add). Most importantly, that such donations actually do accomplish the goal of stemming the tide of anti-gun fervor leaking from the West Coast --all I see is essentially-unchallenged laws passed over a crushed opposition, by rising stars of the gun control movement, who promise to engrave their insane beliefs into the platform of the largest political party in the nation for decades to come (and possibly even the other party). "Calguns" and the others have failed, utterly. I cannot see how an extra 10% or even 1000% of capital from outside CA will make the scattered, tiny protests more formidable, influence implacable opponents of freedom in the state house & courts, or even educate a public that has rejected individual liberties & responsibility for decades.
I'm sorry if frank honesty is impolite to you, but the reality of what is occurring in your backyard is very ugly, that ugliness is about to jump the borders of California altogether, and my primary concern now is how the rest of us will fare in dealing with the messes that have been allowed to build up in that state. Not blaming you personally for them --the issues have been the result of generations of short-sighted neglect-- but at this point it really doesn't matter whose individual fault it is that AWBs, secret lists, and confiscation are openly-discussed topics in Washington, DC. All that matters is who is best able to hold the line, and how.
But man, that guy who invented Bullet Button 2.0 sure showed them
. I mean, those guys in LA must be feeling so embarrassed right now; I'll bet they thought they finally had you all, this time! Plus a bonus; now everyone who HAD a bullet-button 1.0 gets to use a proper mag-release! Yeah, it's only for ten-rounders, and all the guys who had full-30's that were told theirs were grandfathered for life will have to give them up, but hey, proper mag-releases on more guns is a win, right? Dumb that you have to pay money to register all those previously-compliant guns that you'd paid to make compliant, but you'll be able to get them closer to proper-spec, now, and they're grandfathered for life, so you don't have to worry about losing them. Well, I should say, the
state won't ever lose them, since they're registered, and there's now a stiff penalty for failing to report any thefts or boating accidents as they happen...but all in all, still a win!
Polite enough for you?
