You got that right. I got back into my firearm hobby 2 years ago after a 35 year hiatus. I had always wanted an AR since I was a teen because I just think they are beautiful as well as function well. So I bought my first a bit less than 2 years ago. But while I was shopping for one and deciding which to get, I found out about California restrictions and how arbitrary the rules are. In CA, certain brands are illegal. DPMS Panther for one is illegal. But a completely identical rifle except the receiver stamped Stag Arms or DPMS Oracle is legal. There is also features that put a rifle into the scary category and therefore regulated, such as having a pistol grip or a flash suppressor. What do these features have anything to do with anything?

I am really frustrated by the current tyranny by the masses. They keep electing fools like Feinstein, Obama, Pelosi, and Reid, who in turn torment us law abiding citizens who harm no one and take good care of ourselves and our own families.

Most of the time I don’t want their campaign promises fulfilled. I don’t want the “fundamental transformation of America”. I think the fundamentals of America are the best the world has ever seen: protection of the individual’s natural rights. I watched a Chinese historical drama a month ago and in it was said more than once “It is better to kill a thousand innocents than to let one criminal go unpunished”. I was appalled.

The problems with our politicians is that they demagogue and buy votes with our money. If they are going to buy votes, let them use their own money, not yours and mine.

Politicians have never let ignorance stand in the way of passing legislation. The Patriot act was voted on 45 minutes after the members of congress were handed copies of this several hundred page document and who can forget Nancy Pelosi’s “we have to pass the Obamacare bill in order to know what is in it”. The saddest part is that we keep sending these two “parties” back again and again and keep thinking they will finally live up to their campaign promises.

My M1Carbine is on the exempt list but my paratrooper model with the folding stock is not. My Remington 870 Wingmaster is listed in the auto loader section. These people have no idea what they are doing.

Anyone who knows the slightest thing about guns can imagine Fienstine flipping through a book and just picking the pictures of guns that look scary to her.

If she were after race cars she would ban Toyota Scions with spoilers but not the ones without spoilers.

@Judge10 – Isn’t it curious that four of the five incidents you named occurred during the last attempt to limit 2nd Amendment rights?

Also, consider this – those opposed to guns or, as many of their ilk say, don’t “believe in them”, are buying into her bunk hook, line, and sinker.

All we can do is hope that saner minds will prevail and see this ruse for what it is.

First, if they ban all 50 cal. rifles does that include my black powder rifle? It will in Diane F’s eyes. Second she (Diane F.) made a statement last week that shows her ignorance about guns and explains why she want to ban guns with adjustable stocks. She said and I quote. “These stocks alow the rifle to be full automatic rifles.”. What an idiot..

Don’t worry about the firearms in the list in this bill, there is wording that is much worse.
In the definition she wrote for “assault weapon”, it says that one of the characteristics is having a grip. Then it defines a grip as “any grip”. Every modern firearm has a grip, it is the the section of the stock where your trigger hand holds the weapon.
In the bill, it doesn’t matter the shape of the grip. It does define some types of grip, but the wording doesn’t allow for any weapons whose grip is undefined in the bill.
The last individual firearms that did not have a “grip” were black powder hand cannons.
Remember, every pistol has a pistol grip; revolver, semi-auto, single shot, doesn’t matter. So all pistols are banned in this bill.
