New Gun Control Law Signed today by Governor Brown

Both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were written in cursive. That being said, cursive is not taught anymore in schools so most people can no longer read the original versions (by design). I think we have a one party system now, Republicans are only there for someone to blame.
Our Founding Fathers didn't want a two party system. And for good reason! BTW: The curls and flourishes of longhand are long outmoded. Some people refuse to accept modernization, economics and reality. There is certainly nothing wrong with cursive, but in this world of electronics, it is no longer necessary. When was the last time you witnessed a court recorder/secretary writing in shorthand, or speedwriting? Its nostalgia.

("The current U.S.deficit as of June 2016 is $18,152,809,942,589"). ??? Says who?? Do you really believe what the government tells you? I really wonder.:rolleyes:
The same bunch that say the Social Security is in the toilet. It's getting to the point that I have a real hard time believing anything the government says.
"Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see".;)

I believe very little of what government says but I do believe those who have "no dog in the fight" like Forbes. We have a huge deficit and China, among others, owns about 3.7 percent of it....That is why you see China manipulating currency values so much. Republicans and Democrats alike have publicly admitted that every man, woman, and child in the U.S. is between 40-50,000 dollars in debt....and that not of their own making. But both parties just keep "kicking the can down the road" and not even attempting to bring spending under control.

I'm always amused when someone pretends to know what an entire body of people "wanted" over 240 years ago. As to "outmoded" those that refuse to see the value of learning from our past are destined to say ridiculous things.

We have a bicameral legislature....so apparently more did than did not. Benjamin Franklin did not want a President....but we have one. So who agreed or disagreed is moot in view of what we ended up with.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness....Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

2nd Amendment. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

"Modernization" and "progressive" are just two words usually used by liberals to deny the plain sense meaning of our founding documents. Thus we have politicians like Gov. Brown and others who take it upon themselves to "infringe" without due process and lawful consent. We have a method of changing the words of our Constitution and it's amendments....Constitutional Convention...but so called "modernists" and "progressives" would rather change the meaning of the words to suit their own agenda rather than amend the amendments....there is great danger in that. If one of the Bill of Rights falls, the 2nd in this case, then all are subject to the same.

"The American war is over; but this far from being the case with the American revolution. On the contrary, nothing but the first act of the drama is closed. It remains yet to establish and perfect our new forms of government, and to prepare the principles, morals, and manners of our citizens for these forms of government after they are established and brought to perfection."
Benjamin Rush Address to the American People
January 25, 1787

Isn't free speech and the freedom to choose, a wonderful thing:) Along with my trigger finger and animals to hunt, i've got it all:D
 
Funny thing... Not all californians are upset by this new law.. Was talking with a friend who lives there.. He absolutely loves the place and sees no problem.. or problems... Yes he's a gun owner and has an AR.. But seems to think everything is hunky dory.. My main point was that i will probly never go to the place willingly ever again and all the people, illegals, goofy laws etc. He has no problem with all that and can't see why I would live in Wyoming.. Different strokes, whatever..
 
I hear ya Zilla! We have a lot of Californians coming to New Mexico now and for the most part seem to be of the same opinion as your friend. We have a joke here in ranch country. "Why are there so many forest fires in Arizona and so many Californians in New Mexico? Arizona had first choice. What your friend does not seem to get is the "right to property"....if a law is passed that can confiscate and/or require you to surrender legally purchased property then potentially nothing you have is protected. Dangerous business that!

Those laws exists right now, unfortunately. The concept of property ownership (house/land) is an illusion. We have laws that allow your precious children to be taken away from you.

The labeling and registering of any gun as an assault weapon in California guarantees you cannot transfer the firearm. Unless the gun leaves Ca.I suppose that means when you die, California dept. Of Justice will show up at your home looking for the gun, and disarm your widow. This law is confiscation.
 
Yesterday a friend/gun shop owner talked to DOJ. DOJ confirmed the new bullet buttons coming out will be legal. Put bullet buttons on your favorite lowers and buy a few cheap lowers and register those. Pick what you want to shoot for the day.
