If I was a gun manufacturer I would not even think about going to California. I have no stomach for bribing governments or individuals in government or contributing to their campains. Most of the gun ads I see will not sell to anyone in California, Maryland, New jersey. And for good reason. Their Laws and the governments REEK of corruption, graft and ignorance and arogance.

The intent of AB-10 is to restrict the freedom of choice in firearms. The unintended consequence is that now these same companies of the "ring of fire" passed the tests of the draconian law known as AB-10. Since the introduction of AB-2222 they are now after 50 Cal rifles, which have not been used in any crimes in California.(that I am aware of) Add to this the PRO-criminal stance that California has adopted, by restricting the lawful use of self defense.( no concealed carry in 90% iof the state) The reckless disregard of human safety by banning affordable firearms. The closing of perfectly safe outdoor ranges for the megerist of excuses. The Govenor's blatant need to raise taxes $17.5 billion in order to fund his many fiscal screwups. The Democratic Controled assembly submits a bill that makes it so much more difficult for the average person to buy a firearm and this govenor signs it. He most certainly is not a friend of many gun owners adn indeed is not a friend of anybody that he hasn't paid off in form or another. (in other words if you didn't tie a bone around his neck the dog wouldn't play with him) If you cannot elect a govenor and a a new assembly, then it's time to turn out the lights and stick a fork in it cause it's done. This is not even bringing up Locklear( thats another whole story)
IN short, the schools are not educating, the government hates it people, and wants to bleed tax payers more cause now they have to fund all the give away programs with money from people who actually make some money.
No wonder I have no intention of moving to California. (besides 3 of my rifles are now illegal) It will sink in it's own mire.
I would think it's time to clean house in California and the election is near, unfortunately you have only meger prospects to choose from and I doubt they are up to the challange.
The real question is how many of you who are effected are actually working for something better. By the looks of it -- not enough.
