California is the lead State in reducing us to a government dictatorship since the communists rule this State.

Whitetail deer consider my browning A Bolt in 270 Win an assault weapon.

And I’m sure the federal courts will rubber stamp the new laws.... When the Supreme Court rules that gay marriage is legal, any law that even smells like it might be an infrigement on gay marriage is ruthlessly smacked down by the federal courts. But the Supreme Court rules that the constitution guarantees an individual right to keep and bear arms (Heller) and the federal courts bend over backwards to marginalize the ruling to the point that an “individual right to keep and bear arms” only applies to a single shot black powder musket that must be kept unloaded and locked in a safe at all times.

It’s a weapon. I can commit assault with it therefore it’s an assault weapon.

Brown is a gdamn out-of-control lunatic. Yesterday when he signed the illegal alien driver’s licence bill into law, he said “this affirms what it means to be American”. I almost fell over.

And each day we draw nearer and nearer to the “last straw”.

Thankfully, the only group that loathes the Obamadork more than this audience is our military.

I wonder how thoroughly they were taught about obeying “unlawful orders”. Once upon a time, this was stressed to new recruits. Betcha it’s not done very strongly now...but thankfully, most military types are sharp and will figure things out.

More Lib/logic. Common ASSAULT weapons found in too many American homes...steak knives, carving knives, baseball bats, frying pans, screwdrivers, tire irons, golf clubs, electrical cords, pillows(!), household cleaners, , the family auto, hammers, electric hedge trimmers.
I’m not sure just what calibers the above are available in.
Oh, I forgot. Alfred Hitchcoks favorite...the FROZEN leg of lamb, used to crush a husbands skull, then cooked and fed as sandwiches to the investigating police.

The patriots and sportsman all over CA are ready and if Brown signs any of these anti-gun bills the next move will be to recall and reascend. Petitions are ready for print and we are gathering volunteers.

They could just call all center fire “hunting rifles” with a scope deadly “Sniper Rifles,” and ban those.

My bar stool is an assault weapon if need be. California is nuts.

my 14 is good to at least 100yds without a scope. Of course my vision is not what it once was.

I need a scope. Nevermind.
