HELP DEFEAT ANOTHER GUN LAW

[HATCHET1]

Had this Feral gal on my sidewalk looking for hand outs this afternoon...duck lives matter!

There have been no wins in California. They have swung and connected to the jaw 25+ times. Blocking one or two punches is not winning.

That is the problem. Our side doesn’t even know what winning is.

This isn’t about me. This is about where good people can be the most effective. It’s not in CA. A smart fighter knows when he has lost a position and adapts.

Riding the Titanic down to the bottom doesn’t make a person virtuous or brave.

What state are you in my friend? What are your CA credentials?

What state are you in my friend? What are your CA credentials?

Why does that matter? I am in Idaho. I lived in CA for 63 years. In my lifetime I saw:

Waiting periods
Gun registration
Rosters / handgun bans
AWB bans
Magazine bans / 10 round limits
So called safety test / permission slip to buy a gun FSC
Ammo bans / mail order ban on ammo / background check
Fees
Monthly gun rationing
Lead ammo laws
Private sales banned face to face / universal checks
Gun show bans
Red flag laws
Storage laws
Worsened age restrictions

I am sure there are more. I decided to move to America where NONE of the above things exist. NONE. I vote and belong to organizations fighting where we still have a chance.

You can tell yourself you are fighting. But, if you look at the scoreboard above, the fight is over. You lost. Accept it. They are evil. Move somewhere that doesn't hate you. CA is a communist sh*thole.

And there are several other 2nd amendment restriction come as of July. Then more after the first of the year. There is going to be a four hour class and one hour of live fire just to get FSC, not sure when that one will go into effect, but it's comeing, That means you will need to spend several hundred $$$ and time off work just to get FSC. One law at a time they are taking away our rights. They WON'T stop until they make it impossible to own a firearm in Ca.

 

[Dave3006]

You are right. They will never stop. You are out numbered. Fall back to a better position and regroup.

I am a bit bewildered though. It is like I am pleading with a person who fell into a Porta Potty to crawl out and clean themselves off. But, they don't want to.

Dave3006,

Glad you found your forever home.

I asked about your CA time, because I wondered if you had spent any time, while here, working for conservation efforts, and efforts you may have spent time on regarding hunting rights etc.

Not because you would have had to do those things, just curious if you did.

There are a lot of things in CA I am very mad about. Born here 72 plus years ago. Have hunted from Wister to Tule, and hit about every refuge in the state during that time. There are some amazing hunting opportunities here. We still kill a ton of birds each year in this state.

You continue to claim there have been zero hunter rights wins here, we are doomed, the end of life at we know (tongue in cheek)... ha

But, there are fights we have won. And there are fights we continue to win. Who would have ever thought Swans could be killed in CA? And ,just this year, after four years of litigation, California finally conceded that their law about youth firearms marketing was unconstitutional. It was members of Conservation and Sports Organizations that fought that battle and won.

With hunters support and involvement, bills were passed that expanded hunting access on public lands (AB3030), Strengthened protections for hunting (SB11730), increased funding for habitat restorations, stopped a petition to close waterfowl hunting in a portion of the delta, got the state to support initiatives that encourage youth hunting......

There is a bill now (AB 1987, that we have gotten bipartisan support for - to ensure that all revenue generated by the sale of duck reservation apps, and daily or season passes will be deposited into an Areas Operation and Maintenance account...so those funds can ONLY be spent on that, and politicians stop taking that money and using it for general expenses of the state.

These are more, and I see these as Wins.

Have hunted waterfowl for over 6 decades, and have worked as hard as I can to support our hunting rights. Spend a lot of hours each year working to help CA hunting. And I know of others on this web site, that do as well. Hunters need to stay in touch with the issues, and join organizations like CWA that are watching out for the pitfalls.

You are entitled to your view that CA is a lost cause. But, I view it differently, and will continue to fight for what is right, and continue to enjoy some of the best duck hunting available anywhere.

Good luck this season in ID
