SOTG 395 - California Continues the March of Tyranny

(Photo Source: FirarmsPolicy.org)

The slave masters in California continued their march of tyranny last week.

Despite having more restrictive firearms law than most any other state in the union, Governor “Moonbeam” and his minions pushed for more control over the CA peasants.

We have a “Go Team” Moment for you from Georgia involving a wheelchair bound veteran.

Also, Professor Paul has a new book to recommend. This one could save you from pain.

It just happened.

Gunpocalypse swept through the Assembly Floor.

And it was the most outrageous showings of ignorance I have ever seen at the State Capitol, and that’s saying something as I worked there for over 5 years.

The first bill up was AB 1673, which will CRIMINALIZE the possession of unserialized firearms parts, authored by former police officer and current Assemblymember Mike Gipson (D-Carson).

According to Gipson, an 80% lower is equivalent to a “weapon of mass destruction.” Yep, an 80% lower is akin to a nuclear weapon.

Are you serious?!?!? Well, his colleagues apparently believed him and it passed on a razor thin margin of 42-30.

Next up was AB 1674, which will BAN buying more than one firearm within a 30 day period.

One of the more prominent arguments brought up in support of the bill was from Assemblymember David Chiu (D-San Francisco), who stated that this would help cut down on gun trafficking. You know, like that of former Senator and current felon and gun-trafficker Leland Yee.

Asm. Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego) then stated that she only gets to exercise her right to vote once, so YOU should only be allowed to buy one gun!

That bill also passed on a tight margin of 42-29.

AB 2607 was next up and almost defeated, but at the last second votes flipped and it passed out of the Assembly by the slimmest of margins 41-39.

The bill will allow your boss, professor, or therapist to take away your gun rights in secret.

Additionally, AB 1695, which will send harassing mailers to gun owners, also passed by a larger margin as well.

Both head to the Senate.

Following that, AB 1664, which will BAN all firearms with a bullet button made it out 41-30.

It passed with such asinine statements made by the likes of Asm. Gipson, who stated that if you remove a bullet button, the gun becomes a fully automatic machine gun.

You know, we try to educate ALL of the legislators. Sometimes, though, they just don’t get it.

Although it looks grim, we aren’t out of the fight. We’ve killed bad bills before and will do it again. And don’t forget about the wildcard of Governor Brown’s veto!

We aren’t giving up. We know you won’t either.

Sign the petition to ensure the Senate knows where you stand on these bills!

I, the undersigned, OPPOSE ALL of the bills heading to the Senate and urge the Senators to not fast-track them and allow them to be heard in their proper Committees!

From www.theblaze.com:

Anti-gun California State Sen. Kevin de Leon (D-Los Angeles) is being mocked by gun rights advocates after he made a number of inaccurate statements while promoting a bill that would require individuals who manufacturer homemade firearms to undergo background checks.

“This is a ghost gun,” de Leon begins, holding an unloaded rifle in his hands. “This right here has the ability with a .30-caliber clip to disperse with 30 bullets within half a second. Thirty magazine clip in half a second.”

A “ghost gun” generally refers to a firearm that doesn’t have a serial number or a homemade gun, like one created using a 3D printer.

For those not familiar with firearms or gun-related terminology, there are a number of issues with de Leon’s argument.

Firstly, there is no such thing as a “30-caliber clip” in the context of which he is speaking. He clearly is referring to a 30-round magazine. An ammunition magazine is different than a “clip,” but the two are often confused by those not familiar with guns. And though it’s obvious, there is also no such thing as a “30 magazine clip.”

Secondly, caliber refers the measurement of the width of a bullet or internal diameter of a gun barrel, not magazine capacity.

According to the Associated Press, the rifle on display in the video is indeed a homemade fully automatic rifle. Still, a rate of fire of 60 rounds per second — or 3,600 rounds per minute — is unlikely with a “homemade” rifle. Fully automatic weapons are also essentially banned already, even if they are homemade. The average rate of fire for a semi-automatic rifle is roughly 120 rounds per minute, depending on the shooter and reload time.

Now, it’s entirely possible that de Leon got nervous during his public address and mixed up his words and numbers. But it’s also possible that he needs to brush up on his gun knowledge.

YouTube user David West put together a video pointing out the flaws in de Leon’s remarks. The video, featured below, already has nearly 500,000 views.

From www.ammoland.com:

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports this week (5/21/2016) in Monticello, Georgia that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is looking into a fatal shooting by a local resident.

A wheelchair-bound Vietnam veteran, age 69, was at home on Thursday about 9 p.m. That’s when an intruder, age 22, apparently forced his way into the home through a rear door.

When the resident went to investigate the noise, the young intruder lunged at him. The vet fired a shot hitting the intruder once in the chest. The intruder then fled but collapsed about 100 yards away from the residence.

Both the vet and his neighbors called 911. The intruder later died at Jasper Memorial Hospital. An autopsy was performed on the deceased at the GBI crime lab in Decatur.

The results of the investigation will be turned over to the Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office for review.
