California gun laws and Accurate Shooting

[swd]

Guys stop giving them ideas..

Yes it would be something if California built a wall, set up manned check points at the border and do random vehicle stops on known firearms owners to search cars for ammunition smuggled in from out of state.

.....but they won’t be looking for pot or psychedelic mushrooms or “illegal Mexican immigrants”. What a fine state of affairs.

They will use license plate readers at the border cross referenced to back ground check databases to set up "home visits"

Siri, google and alexa lets them know who is the bad guy

They are way smarter than we give them credit for. Everything we come up with they already have.

They test all the gun law proposals on lab rats and monkeys before they sign them into law.

There's no reason to pay cash to keep in untraceable. California residents can buy all the ammo they want out of state it and use it out of state. It would be the state's burden to prove anything you have you didn't previously own.

You want to be a "TEST CASE"???

That was a marketing ploy by Coors; not a gov't restriction...big difference.

Not completely, Coors is or was unpasteurized. Unpasteurized beer is or was illegal in some states. This was the case in Oregon years ago.

you are correct, I left this out as it was quite obvious since pot is now legal, not sure about mushrooms but I know that Colorado is considering legalizing them and we all now about Cali's open door policy for illegal immigrants. California is merely introducing one law after another aimed solely at making exercising 2nd Amendment rights more difficult with the end game being total denial of the right to bear arms.

Their law is written so that a California resident must purchase their ammo through an FFL in their state. I believe I read it is against the law to bring ammo in from out of state.

Non Conformist?? And just how many folks will be doing a road trip to Idaho, Oregon, Washington or Nevada? Lets see, 35 MPG should be a cheap ride. Just a road trip Officer.
Like I've said before, there is NO GRAVITY in California, it just sucks. A recall for the new governor? That didn't take long. Good luck with that.
But California is/has been my home for 76+ years and I've learned to live with it. Don't owe anybody anything so I'am still good to go. Don't expect go see anybody beating down my door to get my guns but I'am ready, just in case. Non of this "The sky is falling" crap. I have a good roof.

Lab rats and monkeys? That's Democrats and Liberals to you. And they lap it up like it's candy.

If you think gun & ammo laws are bad that's just the tip of it; Berkeley just banned natural gas in all new construction of housing, restaurant, and industrial units. Wood fireplaces are illegal in new construction of homes in LA County and others, I saw some REALLY nice stone fireplaces in the burned out homes in Malibu/Woolsey Fire that have to be rebuilt with natural gas.....while it's still legal. Remember, this is the state that is trying to make cows wear fart packs to reduce methane, no joke. But meanwhile the homeless have taken over the streets and public places and are pooping everywhere and leaving heroine needles all over, as well as typhus, Hepatitis, and others. As a matter of fact there was a hepatitis outbreak attributed to banning plastic bags which is what the homeless used to poop in. A group in San Francisco is showing them how to "safely" use fentanyl to try cutting down heroin associated blood infections and needle exposures. Don't confuse "homeless" with people who lost their job, got injured, etc. because ~90% are hard core drug addicts who choose to live on the streets doing drugs. There are plenty of services to help real homeless people.
Now back to my ammo....

I need to get snowman to load up fred and go westbound and down with a load of ammo

It's a shame because Walmart used to have two pallet sized displays of 12 & 20 gauge 100 pack shells out on the floor but now they have them all locked up so the inventory is way down and I'm forced to hoard it when I can get it as they don't always have the 20's in stock. They're $10 at the range.

Could we get congress critters to wear 'fart packs'??

They put out a LOT of BULLS HIT!!

Contrary to popular belief, the actual California gun laws have little impact on precision shooting. There are a few laws that are ridiculous and make it hard on plinkers with ARs but for precision shooters, it isn't that bad.

1. Californians have to spend a few more $ and wait 10 days when they buy an action. Once you have your actions, this isn't a problem. Rebarreling, shipping to gunsmiths, parts, modificaions, etc are no different here than anywhere else. The only component of a precision rifle that is controlled is the action. Everything else you can order all day and all night. Smart sellers love our money.

2. New loaded ammo law creates some hoops to jump through to buy loaded ammo. I never buy loaded ammo, as most precision shooters don't, so no problem. No restrictions on components, bullets, primers, powder, etc. Same laws as everywhere else.

That is it.

The biggest problem Californian shooters face is ignorance. People in other states have this media-driven ridiculous view of California as a bunch of fairies prancing around calling each other by gender-less pronouns. They put in their ads "no shipping to CA" or one large corporate seller started putting a "CA surcharge" on their shipping rates even though there was no factual basis for it.

In reality, California had more Trump votes than any state other than Texas of Florida. Except for the urban areas, we tend to be conservative republicans, just like the rest of the country.

Now I know people who have never shot here will post in this thread that I'm wrong. I'll try to ignore them or at least respond professionally. It will be difficult.
