You have assault weapons
Partially true- Assault weapons are totally banned in California while pretty much the rest of the U.S is able to purchase them.They are able to purchase them *only* after they were banned for 10 years due to Clinton's AWB, which was proven to do absolutely no good and expired late in '04.
Do me a favor, please, since we're discussing assault weapons. Define assault weapon.
undetectable handguns
There is no such thing as an undetectable handgun.I think I know what you're talking about, though.Back in the late 80's Glock came out with their polymer(plastic) framed pistol that caused a huge uproar due to the fact that the anti's tried to convince the public that these firearms can go through metal detectors without being seen.Deceptive words in an attempt to convince the public that they were undetectable in airports, etc.and easily smuggled into places they shouldn't be.As usual, the truth will eventually come out- while Glock does make polymer framed pistol, the internals are all metal and molded into the polymer which cannot be removed without literally destroying the frame. Not to mention that the whole upper half of the firearm(barrel, slide, recoil springs, etc) is all metal just like any other firearm and will be detected just like any other firearm.
The anti-firearm crowd likes to pretend that all these magical weapons are available to the consumer and seem to be able to convince thier existence to the uneducated masses. The biggest problem is most of the anti-firearm crowd are uneducated about firearms as well. It's a case of the blind leading the blind.
armor piercing bullets
What armor? if you mean bullet resistant vests- any rifle bullet will buzz right through a bullet \"proof\" vest, there doesn't have to be anything special about the bullet at all.Those vests are designed to stop handgun bullets and do so amazingly well. If you mean true armor (APC's, LAV's)piercing bullets, they are illegal in all states and not sold commercially.
no gun locks
Gun lock are mandatory in California and if you're firearms are not locked up and someone gets ahold of them, you are responsible financially and criminally. .
Let's run through the quick list-
We can no longer own \"assault rifle's\"
We can no longer magazines with a capacity greater than 10(rifle or pistol)
we can no longer purchase handguns that are not approved by DOJ.
We have to undergo a background check in order to purchase a firearm.
We have a 10 day waiting period.
We are required to lock-up our firearms.
Each firearm is required to be registered with DOJ/ATF.
we're allowed to purchase 1 handgun every 30 days.
I'm not allowed to sell a friend or family member a firearm outright.
A BFSC must be issued before I can legally purchase a handgun(I must pass their test- yes, a literal test given by the FFL holders)
We are not allowed to own a .50 caliber weapon.
I can go on and on and on. It would be better if you just read California Penal Code Sec. 12020 instead of me typing out all 13,493 laws.
That's the thing, they keep complaining that we won't compromise.
Again, a compromise is when both sides gives something up. The anti's have never(yes, never.. not once) given us anything, they just take and shout to the uneducated how unreasonable we are.
They want A,B&C..
take C and let us keep A&B and pretend they're givers..huh? We weren't given anything, they simply took less... this time.
Zuruck,
at the risk of sounding like an a_ss(I'm honestly not trying to) you're grossly uneducated about firearms, the laws, the intentions of both sides and how things go down in my world. I honestly wish you had interest enough to spend time objectively learning the world of firearms & the anti crowd. I honestly think it would really piss you off if you knew how badly we're painted and how much mis-information they sell to the uneducated public.
The bottom line is- they're going to incrementally legislate them away while they continually scream how unreasonable we are.
