Can anyone explain the pros of living in CA??? Besides beaches there's nothing good that is in the state. --(plus you can't own any "fun" guns)-- Just my 2¢. AZhunter☻
Better service, better environment, infinitely better weather...objectively, the most beautiful state in the union--from beaches to vast redwood forests, to snowcapped mountains, to endless fields. I really wish more people had your attitude...if people quit coming to california by the masses, we wouldn't have your bs gun laws. Guess what? It's non-natives that insist on overlegislating their lives.
California bashing only comes from the closeminded shut-ins that have never been outside of their 30 mile radius of their non-CA birthplace. I've lived many places. And by the food alone CA owns all. THe people, the weather, the CAR CULTURE.etc,etc... Where else could you scuba in the ocean without a drysuit, surf, ski, snowboard, and even plink at cans with your EBR, all on the same winter day? Where else can you have Corvettes, Vipers, M3s, lifted monster trucks, all at the same stoplight and with no one even turning a head because all of those cars are so common?
People forget that CA is an almost perfect cross section of America in general. It is by far the largest state, and by cross section the most populist. Check out our congressmen...we have the most severe conservatives in the union and the most severe Democrats. You all forget that if put to a vote tomorrow, the US as a whole would outlaw all EBRs. That's a terrible thing...but would I call all Americans and all of the US "loony land" because of that fact?
Quit the CA-bashing and grow up. Before 2000, more EBRs were sold in the state of CA than any other. New Jersey, NY, and all of the eastern states do not have a fetish for EBRs that I find to be a distinctly Western state phenomenon...it probably has to do with our frontiersmen, self-reliance, liberal (read: more/less libertarian) bent that is more pronounced out west. Out east they find the guy looking over their shoulder for black helicopters as a deranged loon. Out west, that guy's just quirky. All's I'm saying is that judging an entire state by its gun laws is stupid. CA also voted against gays getting married and cutting off children of illegal aliens in public schools and enforcing english-only. CA, by its sheer size of population, is home to all poles of politics. And, as much as you hate to say it, the majority of Americans in general (Californian or not) would vote a ban on EBRs.
CA isn't more Democratic leaning than any other state. It simply has more Americans in it. If people quit coming here with their preconceived notions and/or a desire to change a state that isn't natively theirs, CA would be a much different place as far as laws.
Quit the CA bashing. Especaialyl from those of you from states with comparative high unemployment, terrible drug addiction numbers, crappy April weather where it's 85 one day and snowing the next, crappy pierced teens with terrible service at every restaurant, subpar colleges, little/nothing to do on any given day, horrible tastes in cars, and crappy chinese buffets on every corner.
