According to the Washington Times<\/a>, there are a dozen or so gun control bills on Governor Jerry Brown’s desk which would not only keep California in the fore of gun grabbers’ paradise, it charts new territory in the business of gun grabbing. Apparently, one of the bills would outlaw lead bullets;<\/p>\n

To put the lead bill in context, about 95 percent of all ammunition sold in California contains lead. The alternative is metal bullets, some of which can pierce police armor and are banned by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Critics say the bill would effectively end hunting as a sport in California.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf California outlaws lead bullets, the federal government already outlaws everything else, so there\u2019s nothing left for hunters to use,\u201d said California Assemblyman Brian Jones, a Republican from Santee. \u201cIt basically outlaws hunting.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another bill from the California Senate goes further than even New York’s SAFE Law passed earlier this year in regards to semi-automatic rifles;<\/p>\n

If he signs Senate Bill 374, which bans all semi-automatic weapons with a detachable magazine, including hunting rifles, Mr. Brown is likely to set in motion a lawsuit, said Long Beach attorney Chuck Michel, who represents the National Rifle Association\u2019s California affiliate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis bill is proof that the slippery-slope argument is valid,\u201d said Mr. Michel. \u201cWe hope the governor sees how particularly ill-advised this bill is, but if he signs it, the NRA will have no choice but to challenge the law.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence is lobbying the governor to sign the bills while praising legislators for passing \u201can unprecedented number of life-saving measures to keep our communities safe from gun violence.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess that means that even my little Charter Arms AR-7 survival rifle would be illegal with it’s huge .22 caliber bullet and the dangerous eight-round magazine, since it’s both magazine-fed and semi-automatic. I bought it in 1983 to protect myself on Belton Lake from the rattlesnakes who would take a break in my boat while they were crossing the lake. I hope they don’t find out that my bolt-action Remington Model 700 also has a magazine or they’ll go after that one, too.<\/p>\n

There is some push-back in the legislature, but with Democrats holding a supermajority in both houses, sailed the legislation through easily;<\/p>\n

\u201cIf [Gov. Brown] does sign them, I think that we\u2019re going to see an outcry brewing,\u201d said [Republican Assemblyman Brian Jones]. \u201cThese are hard-working families, a lot of whom happen to be union, and they\u2019re hunters, they\u2019re sportsmen, they\u2019re honest, law-abiding gun owners who feel like their Second Amendment rights are being attacked. And they don\u2019t like it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess it’s just a race among the governors to see who can be the most liberal -that’s liberal in the modern sense, not the traditional liberty-loving sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
