No he can totally prevent it as long as he is governor.
Does a pro 2nd Amendment conservative actually have a viable chance to win in this recall-election?
Absolutely. The turnout in this election will heavily favore people who can't stand Davis; i.e conservatives. Also gun owners are far more likely to turnout to vote than almost anyone else.
Seems the vast majority of voters in CA don't seem to care too much about protecting their gun ownership rights.
You would be able to say that if our gun rights were being eroded by statewide initiative, but they are not. It is being done by the legislature, that the Dems happen to control right now. The average Dem voter is nowhere near as far-left leaning as Dem politicians. Many gun owning Democrats who are union members always poke the Dem on their ballot not realizing that they all vote lock-step when they get to Sacramento.
The last time there was a statewide initiative to ban guns it threw the Governor's office to the Republican candidate. There has not been such an initiative in 25 years because the Dems know they would lose that vote. So instead they work those bills through the legislature with the bare minimum votes in committees and on the floor.
Correct me if I'm wrong. I'd appreciate it.
You stand corrected.
The wussy dems are a lot less likely to even try anything like this with a strong Gov. That's why I'm voting I'm voting Tom.
They already know he won't put up with that stuff.
