Two Anti-Gun Bills Awaiting Action in California! Thursday, July 03, 2008 Two anti-gun bills are awaiting consideration by the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Assembly Bill 2235 would prohibit the sale of handguns other than "owner-authorized (or “smart”) handguns"-- that is, handguns with a permanent, programmable biometric feature that renders the firearm useless unless activated by the authorized user. No proven, viable handgun of this type has ever been developed. Introduced by Assemblyman Mark DeSaulnier (D-11), AB2235 would require the Attorney General to report to the Governor and Legislature on the availability of owner-authorized handguns. Once the Attorney General finds that these guns are available, only “owner-authorized” handguns could be approved for sale in California.
Assembly Bill 2948 could be headed for action on the Senate floor any day. Introduced by State Assembly Member Mark Leno (D-13), this bill would ban the sale of firearms and ammunition on the property or inside the buildings that comprise the Cow Palace.

"Owner Authorized" handgun....

I think a Lawgiver II would qualify
It can fire "Double Whammy"

Good Lord the insanity just keeps on rolling across the land.

Since they are willing to mandate items that aren't even in existence yet, maybe they should pass a bill colonizing Mars to alleviate over crowding in public housing while they're at it. It makes just about as much sense.

Anyway, good luck with that one Californi'ites

I anticipate the development of "smart" weapons around the end of this century.

I think that my weapons are smart. They only go bang when I pull the trigger. Maybe while they're at it they can mandate smart bullets that only fly towards paper and bad guys. I honestly think that they aren't going to go after Guns any more after the supreme court ruling about D.C. I think that the ruling firmed up individual owner right. One thing that i think will be a problem is Ammo. It would not surprise me to see taxes levied on ammo and components to make them so expensive that it becomes prohibitive to shoot. I've even heard rumors of legislation to make specific types of ammo illegal. I think that .223 was one because they are "sniper rounds". Hmmm doesn't almost any sniper use a .308? retarded politicians. I think its funny that they want to ban these guns and what not yet their own personal protection teams carry guns. total hypocritical bull****. ban guns and then see what happens. probably something similar to england. politicians are idiots. they piss me off so much. so many of them have never even owned a gun, or even know what the hell a gun is or how it works. when i hear a politician say "Spray fire" i throw up in my mouth. maybe if they move out of their million dollar estates and live in the real- non trust fund baby reality of the world they would see what it can be like. Where i live there are only 2 offices on patrol during a shift. ive called before for a potential car jacking in progress across the street from my house. officers showed up 45 mins later. same thing happened to a friend's mother. house alarm went off and it took police about 90mins to show. hmmm... i think that politicians need to wake up and move out of millionaire estates.

just one more reason not to ever move to commiefornia. I feel for all the responsible gun owners CA. I also like Barrett telling CA to shove it up their ass with the .50BMG ban. Someone needs to take that to the supreme court. i don't think that everyone should have a gun, but if you meet the requirements, aren't a felon or nuts then it is your right.
