Well … with in the code of conduct rules yes, every Californian needs an AR-15 weapon - fixed magazine or not.

At a surface level I am more than pissed off about this and a whole lot more things about the whole California lead in firearms banning and the violations of our Second and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. We are American citizens and have certain inalienable rights – GOD given – among them are the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The Bill of Rights equal protection clause is exactly applicable here. All citizens of these United States have the right to keep and bare firearms. Not to keep and bear firearms that aren’t too small, aren’t too big, don’t have a pistol grip … the death by a hundred cuts that the damned progressives are inflicting upon us. Disarming us is the best and most effective way to enslave us (George Mason) – not a slavery of chains but one of dependence upon the state for our very self defense. Self defense is a given right and can not be taken away by the will of the progressives.

Having a fixed magazine AR-15 is just two minutes away from having an unfixed one.

I’ve got plenty of rifles that are still permitted – the Mini-14, M1, M1A, and other but damn it the AR is my favorite. Keeping my skills up ten shots at a time with a pinned magazine will keep me sharp enough to be more than dangerous as a free man. If I will it, I can return the weapon to United States standards – after California returns to US standards.

We’re not going to get any help from other gun owners. Look at how the rank and file here slam the state at every chance they get. They hate California and everything that it is with their heart and soul. Many want us to just die. Most don’t want Californian’s in the country at all. Outside of the gun owners – the other boards I frequent – there is not the hate that the people here have for us.

It’s up to us. It’s up to you, it’s up to me, to do all we can to support the cause of fighting for the return of our God given freedoms. Each of us needs to support (that means money!) the organizations that represent our views (that means the CPRA, GOA, and NRA though the later two seem to be more interested in our money than our freedom) and to support political candidates that vote (not just spew a line) in our favor. Despite what you hear in the General Discussion from the pimple faced experts California was within something like 4.5% of swinging conservative in the Presidential election. There are more conservatives in California than 48 of the other 49 smaller states.
