Ever since the terrorist massacre at an Orlando nightclub — and the attack by Islamic extremists in San Bernardino, CA — Democrats have been cracking down.
They haven’t been cracking down on terrorism, but instead on the Second Amendment rights of everyday Americans. In California, however, lawmakers recently exempted themselves from the harsh gun control laws they imposed upon their constituents.
The California state Senate voted 28-8 Wednesday to exempt itself from the pointless gun-control laws that apply to the rest of the populace. Legislators apparently think they alone are worthy to pack heat on the streets for personal protection, and the masses ought to wait until the police arrive.
This is just one of many bills Golden State politicians used this legislative session to set themselves apart from the little people, the ones who pay their inflated salaries. Annual compensation for legislators averages about $140,000, not counting luxurious perks such as taxpayer-funded cars and free gasoline. By comparison, the average Californian earns $50,000 a year, and the unemployment rate is 11.9 percent – far above the national average. Exact salaries for state assemblymen and senators are obscured by the use of a “per diem” payment scheme that shelters a significant chunk of income from taxation.
Attempts by a handful of reformers to require politicians to provide a full annual disclosure of the benefits received from the public treasury have been rebuffed. Currently, government officials must file a statement of economic interests revealing income from any source other than a local, state or federal government agency. Gifts worth more than $50 also must be disclosed, but lawmakers rejected a bill that would have prohibited acceptance of concert and sporting event tickets, gift cards, spa treatments, golf outings and other benefits from lobbyists trying to buy votes.
Americans who don’t live on the Left Coast may feel as though they’ve dodged the proverbial bullet of strict and hypocritical gun control laws.
They have not.

, of course they did. Straight out of$#%&!@*s Playbook how to take over a country remove citizens firearms
If anything they should be forbidden to own and carry firearms
Exactly. And its my understanding that its now mostly illegals that have stepped in and have taken Government jobs. How is that possible when they’re illegal?
By way of voting them into office WE THE PEOPLE have given politicians the privilege if serving us in government. YES, privilege is the operative word.
It’s not a RIGHT or mandate to do what they like. They are just ordinary people who by way of our good grace votes find themselves in the PRIVELEGED position of working for us. Tell me in what other field if business can the worker ( the elected politician ) tell his bosses what they can and can’t do.
They are almost all hypocritical,subpar intellectually parasitesWho if they weren’t sucking at the teat of the American people,they would starve to death.Because,the majority of them have neither the acumen or people skills to earn a living in the real world.There should be a strict limit on their time in office,their accrued income and benefits while in office and their powers.Frankly I wouldn’t let most of these idiots wash my car much less have the power over how certain aspects of my life is concerned.And the ones who make a “career”out of politics are a travesty of justice?The American political landscape needs a complete overhaulThe only person I presently trust in politics is President Trump and that’s because he’s not a politician.He is a proud American businessman who is trying to get America back on track and all of the traitorous,duplicitous leeches on the hill and around the country should just go find a corner sit in it and let him get on with his job✌
