An agent might show up at the door of a person who legally purchased a gun, but was later deemed mentally ill or was convicted of domestic violence.

and the next step will be to take the guns out of a home that has ANYBODY in it who has been deemed 'mentally ill' by the all knowing state.

Short of some unlikely relief from SCOTUS, Californians in the not too distant future will effectively lose most of their 2A rights.

Well, there’s still the 2nd Amendment. I hope conservative legal foundations are gearing up.

We're a microcosm of the country - some of us have done our part to reverse the slide, there're just too many others who are comfortable with where we're headed.

In a special election held on October 10, 1911, California became the 10th state to adopt the initiative process. That year, Governor Hiram Johnson began his term by promising to give citizens a tool they could use to adopt laws and constitutional amendments without the support of the Governor or the Legislature. The new Legislature put a package of constitutional amendments on the ballot that placed more control of California politics directly into the hands of the people. This package included the ability to recall elected officials, the right to repeal laws by referendum, and the ability to enact state laws by initiative.

The initiative is the power of the people of California to propose statutes and to propose amendments to the California Constitution. (Cal. Const., art. II, § 8(a).) Generally, any matter that is a proper subject of legislation can become an initiative measure; however, no initiative measure addressing more than one subject area may be submitted to the voters or have any effect. (Cal. Const., art. II, §§ 8(d) and 12.) An initiative measure is placed on the ballot after its proponents successfully satisfy the requirements described in this guide.

For historical information regarding initiative measures, please refer to The History of California Initiatives, which is produced by the Secretary of State. For current information about initiative measures that are in circulation or have qualified for the next statewide ballot, please refer to our website at: www.sos.ca.gov/elections/elections_j.htm or contact the Elections Division at (916) 657-2166.

(Art.)An agent might show up at the door of a person who legally purchased a gun, but was later deemed mentally ill or was convicted of domestic violence.

Hillary's VAWA -- a deliberately nasty piece of business. Practically every male divorcee is now debarred the possession of arms, thanks to Hillary, through a provision of VAWA that makes every misdemeanor against women, and every temporary restraining order against a man (routine in divorces -- automatic TRO against the husband) an instantaneous violation of federal firearms law.

Down comes the divorce-court judge's gavel to grant the TRO -- and BANG, you're automatically and instantaneously a federal felon for owning a gun. No grace period, no time, no chance. Screw you.

No, really -- Hillary did that. And the Emerson case was the Clintons's lovingly-laid-out "test case" to establish case law to undergird Hillary's invasion of the Fifth and Fourteenth (and Second, of course!) Amendment rights of husbands and men everywhere. Hateful bitch.

The problem with initiative-and-referendum in California is the deracination of the entire electorate by runaway chain migration. The population is mostly noncitizens, or "galvanized citizens" given citizenship fraudulently; and their interests seem to be mostly adverse to those of the People of the United States. They know little or nothing about American law and history and they care even less.

And with the liberals firmly entrenched here in la-la land, we’re basically screwed.

FR is headquartered in California, and California FReepers are consistently first or second in FReepathon donations.

I think people forget how large this state is and just how many conservatives actually live here.
