Who says there's no hope for CA? In todays Sacramento Bee, there were three letters to the ed. about gun control.
ALL THREE were pro-gun!!!

Here is my favorite letter: (Its sarcastic...I LOVE sarcasm!!! )
The gun control test
Re "Handgun tests now required," Jan. 1: As the New Year begins, it is comforting to see our elected officials are ever vigilant for our safety. The new gun safety law went into effect Jan. 1, thanks to state Sen. Jack Scott, protector of the unarmed, and Gov. Gray Davis, that highly moral and decisive decision-making statesman.
I know I feel safer now that we have added one more law to the thousands already on the books. I'm also sure that the people of Los Angeles are sleeping better knowing that the state continues to protect them. Oh, wait, the murder rate went up 10 percent last year. I thought all those gun laws were supposed to protect us. I know I felt better when Los Angeles banned 50-caliber rifles. I was sure that would bring the murder rate down.
Scott and Davis are only interested in one thing: disarming Californians, one hurdle at a time. No valid study of public safety supports gun control laws as a means of making the public safer. On the contrary, some studies show that states with right-to-carry laws have seen a decrease in violent crime.
