I know it seems impossible, but apparently there was room for Governor Sparkle Pony Brown of California to tighten gun laws there, according to ABC7<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Gov. Jerry Brown signed six stringent gun-control measures Friday that will require people to turn in high-capacity magazines and mandate background checks for ammunition sales, as California Democrats seek to strengthen gun laws that are already among the strictest in the nation.<\/p>\n

Brown vetoed five other bills, including requirement to register homemade firearms and report lost or stolen weapons to authorities.<\/p>\n

In another attempt to slow reloading, the governor signed a bill outlawing new weapons that have a device known as a bullet button. Gun makers developed bullet buttons to get around a California’s assault weapons ban, which prohibited new rifles with magazines that can be detached without the aid of tools. A bullet buttons allows a shooter to quickly dislodge the magazine using the tip of a bullet or other small tool.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The New York Times<\/a> hails Brown for exploiting two terrorist attacks to restrict gun owners even more than they were already. Laughingly, they call Brown a “moderate Democrat”.<\/p>\n

Even as he signed six measures, Mr. Brown, a moderate Democrat with a history of resistance to some measures of gun control, vetoed five others that he described as overly regulative. Among them was a bill that would have restricted gun purchases to no more than one per person in a 30-day period.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy goal in signing these bills is to enhance public safety by tightening our existing laws in a responsible and focused manner, while protecting the rights of law-abiding gun owners,\u201d Mr. Brown, who himself owns guns, said in his signing message.<\/p>\n

The enactment of the legislation leaves little doubt to the standing of California, which in 1989 became the first state to ban assault weapons, as a leader in gun control at a moment when Congress has rebuffed such efforts and numerous Republican-led states are moving in the other direction. States like Texas, in the name of promoting safety, have in recent years expanded the locations where people can carry concealed weapons, including bars and college campuses.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nothing that the governor signed yesterday would have prevented or reduced casualties in either the San Bernadino or Orlando terrorist attacks. France and Belgium have similar and more restrictive laws, but they don’t stop terrorist attacks there. <\/p>\n

It’s strange that Brown would sign legislation that puts restrictions on gun owners, but doesn’t sign laws that would make victims of thieves report the crime. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
