From Gun Rights Across America-California:
Los Angeles, CA – Firearms rights groups representing over 160,000 gun owners from around the state of California announced today that they will conduct a citizen action in Sacramento on the day the Committee on Public Safety hears twelve proposed bills concerning firearms and ammunition . . .
Concerned members of three California organizations; Gun Rights Across America – California, Californians Opposing Gun Restrictions and CALGUNS Shooting Sports Association will come to Sacramento on April 16 for a day of citizen action at the Capitol. The groups will present testimony, stand in support of other witnesses testifying at the hearings and protest the proposed those bills being heard on April 16th, as well as over 40 other unconstitutional, anti-Second Amendment bills proposed this legislative cycle.
California legislators are bent on depriving Californians of their Second Amendment rights – in what can only be described as an exercise in out-legislating other states. The proposed legislation does not seek to remedy any existingproblems, but would only abridge law-abiding citizen’s Constitutional Rights.
This comes at a time when California’s and the nation’s gun crime rates have been on the decline since 1991. Additionally, an overwhelming majority of over 15,000 law enforcement professionals polled recently say that firearms, magazine and ammunition restrictions and regulation would do nothing to affect crime rates.
25% of Californians own guns responsibly and in compliance with existing laws. The proposed laws are unwarranted. They would infringe on Californian’s Civil Rights as protected by the Second Amendment and do nothing about crime.

How can Arizona be the “best” state for gun owners when its senator, McCain votes YES on bills like this?
I guess the answer to the question, “Can you be senile and still a senator?” is “OH YEAH… JOHN ‘I HATE THE G**KS’ MCCAIN”.
The full text of the Toomey-Manchin amendment is now online: http://www.manchin.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/files/serve?File_id=8134649f-6d23-4ef2-882f-6a4555ff4889&SK=BDEA0DD2B0F4D93F905B5BC8DF6F76B6
That police check of the Serial Number would be useful before handing over the cash. If the gun had been stolen previously, and that was discovered by the police after the purchase, your “new” gun would be returned to the original owner, and you’d have to collect your money from the guy that sold it to you.
Notary is unnecessary. Having a dated receipt is sufficient to prove date of possession. Any criminal prosecution would have to prove that you were lying. Getting the receipt signed by the seller might help, but probably not necessary.
Depends. What a notary does is certify that the signature is real, either because the notary knows the person and saw them sign it, or checked ID and saw them sign it.
A notary prevents someone from later saying: “That’s not my signature, it’s a forgery.” No more, no less.
How does a state “reinstate a right”? do our rights come from the state or from G_d. just saying.
Gun? A baseball bat would do nicely for our red rodent pal.
Oh. No baseball in Russia? A five-foot length of pipe will do the trick.
My wife tells me I have the right caliber for Beaver. 😉
The pelts are worth something even today.
.359 148gr. DEWC ahead of 3 grains of bullseye to the head is what I have used.
Shots are usually within 10 feet.
The ‘race to the bottom’ mentioned earlier is fueled by the fact that in the Blue States, the further to left you can go (no matter how insane), the more likely you’ll be re-elected. So what we are seeing is actually a race for ” I lead the way to pass reasonable gun legislation ” political bragging rights come election time.
The prime directive of ALL politicians is to be re-elected. Period.
That’s our challenge: To win the hearts and minds of the mass of folks who are the mis informed, uneducated and undecided folks in the middle.
Another group we can reach are people trapped in crime ridden inter cities.
How are we gonna do that? November 2014 is only 17 months away.
Are there sites that further detail ballistic testing of birdshot? A friend suggested some months ago that birdshot offers the least wall penetration while remaining highly destructive to human tissue at home defense ranges. The above results would seem to support that idea.
