champu 1 #1 March 2, 2015 The annual slurry of California Gun Bills are here... Oh boy... SB 707 - "Peruta v. Gore may result in people actually being able to get CCW permits, so lets start restricting those further." AB 1134 - "Also, instead of making gun owners sue every county sheriff one by one to make them follow the Peruta ruling, we'll make them sue every police department one by one because that will take longer." AB 443 - "Civil Forfeiture is swell... let's use it on guns." SB 678 - "Smart guns exempt from roster (i.e. exempt from microstamping requirement (i.e. smart guns are the only new handgun models allowed))" AB 529 - "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun... is the DMV." This is an odd one as I'm reasonably sure it's already illegal, but it may be an attempt to make it easier to prosecute or give DAs something easy to use in a plea deal... SB 456 - "There 'oughta be a law against threatening to shoot up a school." A few positive ones (at least as currently written)... SB 566 - "We probably don't need to charge honorably discharged Vets the extra $25" AB 499 - "If you have a CCW permit and you want to carry while you are bow hunting, knock yourself out." AB 1154 - "Let's not get sued when an interactive map of all CCW permit applicants shows up in the LA Times." AB 950 - "If forced to surrender your guns because someone is worried about you, you can at least surrender them to a dealer of your choice while you try to prove your innocence to get them back." AB 225 - "...and if the person flat out lied on the report they should go to jail." SB 452, AB 1415, and SB 347 - "You know how voters made stealing a gun a misdemeanor last year? Yeah, it should probably go back to being a felony." SB 714 - "...and if they were already prohibited, maybe they should be in jail longer next time." And then we have the placeholder bills where they get it in before the deadline by making a change that isn't a change. This is where the magic the happens later in the year... AB 462 - "...?" AB 144 - "...?" AB 892 - "...?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

champu 1 #4 March 2, 2015 Andy9o8OK, so this isn't about basketball? I didn't say "on topic" so I dunno, maybe? To be clear, btw, this is more of a placeholder thread for when there are developments with these bills. It'll be interesting to see what makes it all the way to the governor's desk and what he signs. It is early on and these are all going to get marked up between now and the summer so a discussion on any one in particular at this point is premature. My point right now is just to note how predictable the flood is every year, even in a state that already checks the boxes of assault weapons bans, magazine bans, handguns that have to light up and play a song when they're loaded, universal background checks, and very restrictive may-issue CCW.
