The problem is CA gun owners!
What a bunch of lazy fucks, 99% of them won't do shit to protect their 2A rights! They're getting what they deserve as far as I'm concerned!
Stand up and fight, yeah right, when the time comes they'll be turning in their family members who don't give up their guns when ordered!
Mark my words, Gavin will go for out right confiscation and CA gun owners will comply! Any betting people?

See, here's the thing.
There's nothing California gun owners can do. I used to be quite active in protests, appearing at the capitol, writing letters, etc...and none of it--not one bit--makes a fucking difference.
CA isn't a Red State filled with Conservatives who will shut down ridiculous overeaches when the word gets out: she's a Blue State that has never once heard a preposterous idea and thought to herself "That's crazy! Common sense says no!"
If every CA gun owner sent the FPC a check for $100 tonight--right now--nothing would get done. Nothing would change (with the exception of making a few lawyers rich, regardless of any legislative "wins"). If a large crowd appeared at the capitol--a large crowd of normal looking citizens, not the bikers, survivalists, and basement-dwellers that only show up every time I've protested--nothing would change.
Or--maybe I'm not seeing it. What do you think could be done? How do you see effective change made? How do you change the minds of people that hate guns, hate us for owning guns, and--logic be damned--want all things assaulty banned for the good of the chirruns?
I mean, you could go over to CalGuns and listen to that little clique of rich Orange County lawyers and lawyer wanna-bes talk, but they aren't doing anything either...and speech is much, much freer on ARFcom than it is over there.
