California liberals are it again, this time going after ammunition instead of guns.
In a new legislation called the “Safety for All Act of 2016” voters will be able to ban the possession of magazines with a capacity greater than 10 rounds and mandate that everybody in California get a “firearms purchaser certificate” in order to buy ammunition, which will not only cost up to $50.00 and take two months to get, it’ll also put you in a database for law enforcement.
See what else it entails on the next page.
First of all Art, you have to take context into consideration. When the Constitution was written militia referred to any able bodied man capable of fighting. Considering the US had a very small standing army compared to the British, much of the fighting was done by local militia groups consisting of men from the local communities. To put this in a modern perspective, if another country tried to invade the US it would be the local residents and LE which would be the first level of resistance against the invading force. Of course the standing army would be called up to repel the invasion but that takes time. That’s why Japan never invaded us during WWII, because we the people have the means to fight back guaranteeing the we remain a free state.
Class dismissed
I’m with you until you say that the Japanese never invaded us because citizens had guns at their disposal. The military was already engaged by the time an invasion might have happened and it would not have been private citizens who were the first line of defense. Surely a full-scale invasion by the Japanese would have been carried out with weapons far more effective than what ordinary citizens may have had in their homes. By you logic, citizens should be allowed to have weapons which are capable of repelling an invading force. What weapons would those be in the 21st Century. And how well-regulated should they be. I just can’t buy your position on this issue. OK Class is dismissed. I have to get to algebra now!… Enjoyed chatting with you.
LOL.. Thank Goodness I moved out to f that cesspool of a state.. Dumbasses are getting what they deserve.. Keep voting in Liberals!! Way to go!!!
PRAY!
This is everyone needs to sign the state of Jefferson petition
I’m sorry, and how does this affect my 2nd amendment rights?
I hope everyone realizes that the definition of arms includes ammunition. So by trying to pass this is a direct violation of the second. When will Californians stand up for their rights instead of letting the elite tell them how they’ll live?
Try as they might the corrupt state will never triumph over the freedom of its citizens
Then explain how guerrilla warfare has been so effective in the last 50 years in hundreds of conflicts spanning dozens of countries. There are scores of examples of rebellions comprised of men with small arms combating government armies effectively with little training and limited resources.
I don’t personally think there should be much if any firearms regulation, considering a gang banger can get an automatic AK47 off the street but I have to pay a lawyer and a substantial fee to the ATF(insert joke here) before I wait 3 to 6 months to find out if I’ve even been approved. At some point, Uncle Sam needs to realize that our constitutional rights aren’t about what we need or why.
I would also personally like for all able bodied and sound minded individuals to receive some military and combat training for no other reason than to become familiar with firearms and self defense from other not-so-sound minded individuals. Maybe then the stereotypical libtard will actually know the difference between a clip and a magazine.
the road to Tyrany.
