Where did California get 24 millions dollars in surplus funds????

WE are seeing now what the plan is for all gun owners. I only wish we could get all of these people together and have them make a stand.

See how easily ol'jer Brown sidesteps coming to grips with the hispanic and black gangs in California?

Going after just the people whose families cared enough to get them psychiatric care is hardly where we need to be headed.

Let's see the CHP doing door to door in East LA first!

But, budget cuts have prevented the state Department of Justice from keeping up with the growing number of people on the list.

What the hell? Are more crimes being committed or are their just more crazy people out there due to the massive invasion of illegal aliens that we are experiencing?

If the state of Arizona could not trump federal law pertaining to immigration, how and why can the state of Kalifornia trump federal law pertaining to gun ownership and/or possession?

Won't be long before conservatism is classified as a mental illness.

I guess at face value it is a well intended idea....so is the road to hell...

I am sure getting guns out the hands of the mentally ill and felons will just make them buy them illegally.....

But it will make liberals feel good....they got to screw legal gun owners over by making them pay for it, spending tax payer money is always fun and they get to say we did something,,,

Exactly;
Lets define “Serious” mental illness, then progressively re-define that downward.
Have taken stress medication? Spoken to a grief counselor over a personal tragedy, taken meds for migraines; Or next ANYONE in your household with said issues?, then any friends or family who have had issues that may get your guns when your not looking...

Its all for your safety
I seem to have read about this before???

Not more criminals. They just expand the definition of mental illness until everyone is covered. Next step will be if your GPA was not at least 3.8. You might still be OK but I wont be OK. :)

Why bother, they'll just use baseball bats, axes, knives, plastic bags, poison, fire, drowning etc to kill someone.

Just LOCK THE BASTARDS UP!

Firearms did not become available to a common criminal until 20th century. We have several thousand years of recorded history before that. Highway robbers just used farming implements to kill travelers. A mere stone tied to a stick is a formidable weapon if you have only your bare hands, or even a short knife, to defend yourself. Weaker or untrained people had no chance of survival.

If they can sell this in CA today, the campaign will start tomorrow to make it Federal law.

Sounds good on its face (keeping guns away from the mentally ill and criminals) but beware...

Remember all those tax bills that only "the RICH" would be effected by? After the bills passed, you found out you were suddenly RICH!

Once they can deny mentally ill people their 2nd amendment rights, suddenly a lot more people will be mentally ill. And guess who it will be?

It's all done with trick photography accounting.

The money was STOLEN from law-abiding California gun owners.
The law says the CA DOJ can only charge a background check fee sufficient to cover the actual cost. For years they charged more and piled the excess into this account, which has now been raided for the gun confiscation program.

I can see the new TV show: LA Survivor. Armed with a pair of nose hair scissors and a nail file, you have to survive for two weeks in LA.

“The measure, the first of several gun-related bills to reach the governor, allocates $24 million in surplus funds” ! ! ! !

That commie pest hole is bankrupt! Where is Gov Moonbeam stealing that money from?
