“There must be different people in California. They rolled over for this years ago without a wimper.”
There are thousands of AR-15’s in the hands of CA citizens and none of them are registered as called for by the CT law. We do have a 10 rd mag restriction, but they are also not registered.
Also,I guess you don’t bother reading what has been going on here in California with respect to CCW. Right now, unless the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals grants an en banc review of their decision last month, California will have to issue CCW permits to anyone who isn’t prohibited by reason of being a felon or being adjudged mentally unstable. Go look up Peruta v. San Diego County. The San Diego Sheriff has already said that he’s not asking for an en banc and has started issuing permits. Ditto for the Orange and Yolo County Sheriffs. The AG has asked for an en banc, but it is doubtful she will get one. I would urge you to read the decision, because it may well be the one that the SCOTUS uses when they are finally forced to rule completely on the 2A. I was amazed at the thoroughness of it.
CA does have assault weapons registration. We’ve gotten around the definition in most cases, especially via the bullet button.
As to the Peruta decision on CCW good cause statements, I am very pleased and hope it stands, but note this is relief from the courts, not our insane politicians.
IIRC, it was that exact ruling from the 9th Circuit Court that struck the deathblow to Illinois strict handgun laws, and obliterated Chicago's handgun ban.
I was floored that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals did it. They're often referred to as the 9th Circus Court.
Illinois has 440,000 FOID Card (Firearms Owners ID) holders, the state is expecting at least that many CCW applications ........ I'm one of them.
