Some here may think my responses are a little curt, maybe even condescending, there may be some truth in that. Picture if you will, us Californians that love to shoot, love to shoot competitively, reload, hunt, and buy guns just because the moment struck. Most of us are anchored here for one reason or another. If I was a single guy with no family here, I would be gone years ago. We deal with these crappy laws and restrictions that have one purpose; wear us out, create an environment that depletes your desire to own a firearm. They have learned they don't have to make sweeping laws restricting gun ownership. They make little laws that create an impossible environment to function in. Little bits and pieces of legislation that when the puzzle is complete, poof, no more gun owners.
When they legislate magazine disconnects, S&W and Ruger and others just stop selling auto loading guns in CA. Micro-stamping, same thing. Ammo restrictions, magazine capacity, led free bullets, shipping to CA, etc, the list goes on. So the people that make it happen, the ones that enable these legislatures to press forward are the above mentioned companies. The should stand fast and say " we don't care, we will just produce and ship the XYZ's to CA. and thats that" But they don't, they wimp out, it's too difficult to sell in CA. So they abandon us. We as firearm owners should hold their feet to the fire, let them know they are not welcome anywhere unless they provide for all.
We don't, everyone just makes comments, has great advice on what we should be doing here in CA, as if we are not fighting the fight every day. Peculiar thing about California, just about everything from movies, music, the passion for the automobile, emission controls, and many outdoor activities to mention a few, start here and move east. If you don't think other anti gunners have not taken notice on the methods being used in CA, you're only fooling yourself. Someday there wont be a gun friendly "move to state".
So this is why I sometimes appear less than warm and fuzzy.
Except the sarcasm, that just the twisted way I am. Thats part of the rr2030 package, free of charge.
