Disregard it all you want. Call it negativity, if you like, but it's unfortunately reality. You folks keep thinking 'reason will prevail' in CA. "Thinking positive" and chanting "Ommmmmm......." won't do any good.
With demographic trends and current legislative districting skewing the CA legislative bodies to the left, it -and other progun legislation - has no chance.
And LaSeur's fellow Democrat members on the crime/justice committee (Cohn, Dymally, Greenberg, Leno...) wouldn't DARE want to be accused of "putting dangerous baby-killing weapons back on the street." That could be used against 'em in a nasty primary fight. (In safe Democrat seats, as these folks have, the primary election is more important than general election, as the Democrat will get the seat 98% of the time. It's just a matter of which Democrat, so the big fight is the primary.)
Even though La Seur updated bill with his 'statement of reasons', etc., that will have zero bearing - no matter how cogent, how well-presented, how well-supplied with key facts and statistics. These people don't listen to reason. And if logical reason were to prevail, we'd've not had any of these idiotic laws in the 1st place.
