Yeah, GOP doesn't ever bring that up, do they?

Leave us not forget that a Republican governor signed the California assault weapons bill, just like a Republican governor signed the microstamping bill which gives us our roster and handgun prohibitions, just like a Republican governor signed the Mulford Act which prevents us from carrying openly in a state where all the urban areas will not grant carry licenses because reasons.
Of course not. If they let on that Republicans signed the laws we all hate while saying they support gun rights, they'd damn near elect Donald Trump president.
Yes, Roberti-Roos Assault Weapons Control Act of 1989 was signed into law by Rep Gov George Deukmejian. The CA microstamping billing was signed into law in 2007 by Rep Gov Arnold the Terminator. And the Mulford Act in 1967 was signed into law by Rep Gov Ronald Reagan.CDFingers wrote: Sat Dec 07, 2019 10:27 pm Leave us not forget that a Republican governor signed the California assault weapons bill, just like a Republican governor signed the microstamping bill which gives us our roster and handgun prohibitions, just like a Republican governor signed the Mulford Act which prevents us from carrying openly in a state where all the urban areas will not grant carry licenses because reasons.

Don't stop being worried.featureless wrote: Sun Dec 08, 2019 10:27 am I wonder what impact, if any, the current events in Virginia will have on these cases. I'm more than a little worried it might kick off something bigger than a legal battle.

It's worth noting the judge is the same one that gave us Californians magazine "freedom week" earlier in the year. The argument is similar to that case--Heller doesn't allow banning categories of firearms in common use by law abiding citizens. Another freedom week?

I predict the ban will stand.As has been the case since the enactment of the AWCA decades ago, the individual Plaintiffs are free to arm themselves with other weapons, including non-assault rifles, pistols, or shotguns, to engage in lawful self-defense. They may arm themselves with semiautomatic, rimfire rifles, or semiautomatic, centerfire rifles that do not have any of the militaristic features of an assault rifle. In restricting access to a uniquely dangerous subset ofmilitary-grade firearms,the AWCA will not irreparably harmPlaintiffsduring this litigation.
Benitez was not too keen on the ban on purchasing ammunition without government permission. I suspect that will be overturned on appeal, though, as would an injunction against California's ban on semi-automatic carbines targeted by firearm prohibitionists.highdesert wrote:This case is before Judge Benitz...
When the gun lobby groups go judge shopping, I imagine Judge Benitez is at the top of their list. It's random assignment of cases and Benitez has senior status so he doesn't get assigned as many cases as an active district judge, but he's gotten quite a number of them. Hope he doesn't fully retire in the new future, we need him.DispositionMatrix wrote: Sat Apr 25, 2020 5:28 amBenitez was not too keen on the ban on purchasing ammunition without government permission.

Rhode vs Becerra - CA ammo law challenge
SAN DIEGO (November 18, 2020) — Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced that the final pre-trial brief in Miller v. Becerra, its federal Second and Fourteenth Amendment challenge to the State of California’s ban on so-called “assault weapons,” was filed today. The brief can be viewed at FPCLegal.org.
The final pre-trial conference in Miller is scheduled to take place in San Diego on December 16, 2020, before Federal District Court Judge Roger T. Benitez, with the bench trial to follow on January 21, 2021. The plaintiffs are represented at trial by attorneys George M. Lee, John Dillon, and Erik Jaffe.
FPC’s brief argues that the “arms and conduct proscribed by the [State’s Assault Weapons Control Act] are categorically protected under the Second and Fourteenth Amendments and the Supreme Court’s precedents.” It further argues that under the Supreme Court’s Heller decision, the ban is categorically unconstitutional, and that the laws also fail strict and intermediate scrutiny, two approaches that courts sometimes use to decide constitutional questions. It concludes by requesting that the Court issue an opinion declaring the laws and regulations at issue are unconstitutional, as well as a permanent injunction preventing Attorney General Xavier Becerra, Department of Justice Bureau of Firearms Chief Luis Lopez, and all law enforcement throughout California from enforcing those unconstitutional laws against the Plaintiffs and all law-abiding adults in the State.
https://californiaglobe.com/section-2/f ... signature/In addition to the new microstamping measure, the number of types of gun-law compliant handguns in California would be reduced as AB 2847 would introduce a system of removing three handguns from the current handgun roster that are non-compliant with current laws for each handgun added.
Assemblyman Chiu had written AB 2847 to reduce the number of black market firearms in the state, as well as help police solve firearm related crimes quicker.
“AB 2847, would require gunmakers to incorporate microstamping technology — to imprint microscopic characters that identify a handgun’s make, model, and serial number on the casing of every bullet that is fired,” said Assemblyman Chiu earlier this year. “Having this information is critical to solving countless crimes involving firearms, as well as to reducing the black market for guns.”
My first experience with the old bullet button was sort of along the lines of "jesus christ, you'll shoot your eye out, kid." Went featureless thereafter. You should not have to fuck with a firearm that much to change a magazine in the event of a malfunction or to clear a live round mid magazine.Crow wrote: Wed Feb 03, 2021 12:01 pm I really hope Benitez rules in favor of Californians like me who want to be able to own and properly operate rifles that are designed for modularity, precision, and convenience.
Also, what about those of us who reload for pistols? Does it become a crime to re-size microstamped brass? What if I pick up range brass with someone else's stamp? etc etc. I mean, I'm all for keeping bad guys from doing bad stuff, but...highdesert wrote: Wed Feb 03, 2021 12:12 pm The science isn't there for microstamping, but CA Democratic politicians and judges would rather support fiction than science.
Thanks, it was a great hunt, and besides stocking the freezer during a time when going to a grocery store feels akin to skydiving, the ranchers are happy to get rid of the pests.featureless wrote: Wed Feb 03, 2021 12:22 pm My first experience with the old bullet button was sort of along the lines of "jesus christ, you'll shoot your eye out, kid."

Congrats on the pig. That is high on my to do list, someday.
