"Why do the voters keep electing these slugs to office. If you don't like what your elected officals are doing VOTE THEM OUT!!!"
This is laughable. Don't you think that the majority of gun owners in California have been voting against these anti-gun tyrants for their adult lifetimes? I have voted against Feinstein, Boxer and the others for decades, it does no good.
Take this from a lifelong Californian, the FACTs are that the average voter in this state has been 100% brainwashed by the MSM that guns are evil, escape from their owners and go on killing rampages by themselves. They are terrified of and despise guns and gun owners. California also is overwhelmed by a huge immigrant voter base where private gun ownership was forbidden in their home country so why would those voters want anything different here when being disarmed and at the mercy of the government is all they have ever known? We are hopelessly outnumbered here by Statists of every flavor. The bottom line is that LA and the Bay area are the largest population/voter bases, and have voted against guns for decades and will continue to. There is a healthy base of freedom loving gun owners in this state, but not enough of them to matter at the polls, even if every one of them turned out to vote, which will never happen. Apathy and selfishness is what is killing gun ownership in California.
I donate a lot of money to the Calguns Foundation, CRPA, SAF and the NRA but we have to face it that as far as gun ownership, California will be almost or totally disarmed within a decade. It will become the first state in the union to ban all private gun ownership or possibly just single shots with no ammo availability.
Rather than telling California gun owners what we should be doing when they don't understand what is actually happening here and has been happening for decades, is that gun owners in other states should be doing is spending their time, money and effort into making sure that the California scourge doesn't spread any further than it has. Personally, I think Oregon, Washington, Colorado and possibly Nevada will fall to the same disease, it will just take a little longer. Any state that has been overran by Statist Californians will fall to the same fate politically. I was in Prescott, Az over the holiday and my gun loving friends there are even scared about how the area has been overran with liberal Californians. Not sure if Arizona will ever fall to this but it is seeming like at least a possibility.
If an anti-gun President is seated in the White House this time next year, I truly fear for the nation as far as gun rights. The next president will choose a few new Supreme Court Justices, an anti-gun President will appoint anti-gun justices and then we, as a nation of gun owners will have to face some unpleasant new realities about life as we know it.
