Liberal 'logic' in CA would adversely affect gun owners

[Patriot]

Talk about overreach.  Check out item 5 in the list below.  Using this twisted logic, one could argue that showing movies to school kids after school would significantly improve a county's prospect for long term survivability & economic growth.  

Liberalism... truly a mental illness marked by a total disregard for constitutional boundaries and lacking any ability to think & reason.

Gun Confiscation Bill Proposed in California: 'We Can Save Lives'
Feb. 8, 2013 3:35pm Jason Howerton


Law abiding gun owners in California have to feel uneasy after Democrats rolled out a massive gun control package on Thursday, which includes strict ammunition regulations and even a bill that allows potential confiscation of the state's 166,000 legally registered semi-automatic rifles.

Under the sweeping gun control bills introduced by state Senate Democrats, all semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines would be banned, all guns would be registered and gun owners would need a special permit just to buy ammunition.

The proposals appear to be even more draconian than New York's recent gun control legislation, considered to be the toughest in the nation...

...The 10-bill package constitutes the single largest gun control push in decades in the Golden State, which already boasts some of the nation's strictest gun laws. It joins equally controversial proposals from Assembly Democrats that would regulate and tax ammunition sales and consider taking the state's 166,000 registered assault weapons from their owners...

...Mercury News reports other bills would also include the following regulations:

1.    Require anyone wishing to buy ammunition to first get a permit by passing a background check, as Los Angeles and Sacramento already do.

2.    Update the definition of a banned shotgun with a revolving cylinder to include the new technology of a shotgun-rifle combination.

3.    Prevent unregulated gun loans, with some exceptions, including hunting, in order to keep weapons from those who haven't passed background checks.

4.    Require all handgun owners obtain a safety certificate every year, rather than the every-five-years requirement for purchases of new handguns.

5.    Prohibit anyone barred from owning a weapon from living in a home where weapons are kept and to expand the list of crimes for which convictions result in being barred from gun possession.

6.    Let the state Justice Department use money from the state's Dealer's Record of Sale system to eliminate the backlog of people identified as no longer allowed to own guns but not yet investigated and contacted by law enforcement.
