So when they get in a dogfight with US planes, the US pilot will see that and go "oh, he must be a friendly and not an enemy" and stop the attack. What better way to sneak up on others than to make them think you're one of them!
Actually, the legislation from Senator Feinstein would ban pretty much every single semiautomatic firearm, her list of "banned/approved" notwithstanding. Poor legislation results in the total ban; this is what happens when those who are ignorant of firearms try to write legislation limiting/restricting firearms.
They are not armed with anything this legislation is trying to ban/limit.
The Secret Service now carries as its sidearm Sig Sauer P229s in.357 SIG, which has a capacity of 12 rounds which would be illegal per this legislation.
How often is the LAO wrong, compared to the Governor's budget? The LAO tends to be more accurate, and errs on the conservative side of projections. Governor Brown's budget would only produce a surplus if we have sunshine and roses around the world and no one moves out of CA who would pay the new millionaire's tax. Given the public statements by Phil Mickelson, you can bet there are hundreds of other very wealthy people looking to move as well - but who won't say so publicly for fear of the scorn they'd get like Phil received...
Point stands... the weapons of today are mass death machines that completely nullify any archaic definition of arms from the past.
So - what you're saying is that the Rule of pspahn is superior to our Supreme Court. Perhaps you need to go back and read the ENTIRE Constitution and learn what the role of the Supreme Court is, and why - when it decided we have an individual right to carry firearms for personal decision - your "interpretation" of the 2nd Amendment is 100% incorrect.
Yet a deficit nevertheless. It's not a surplus as many are trying to claim...
Aaaand, this year's budget actually _increases_ the spending slightly. So getting to pure surplus is easy - just slow down the rate of spending increases next year. Oh, and there is not going to be a state bankruptcy in near future.
It needs to slow down by at least $1.9 billion more than it's currently going. But with Governor Brown touting a "surplus", you can just bet the CA Legislature is looking to spend that fictional surplus - and then some...
Easy there soldier. You can look at the literal meaning of the 2nd Amendment, or you can look at the literal meaning while considering its context.
Sorry, the Supreme Court has already said the 2nd Amendment directly relates to INDIVIDUALS owning firearms for their own PERSONAL defense (DC v Heller), and that a State cannot infringe this right, it is incorporated to the individuals (MacDonald v Chicago).
Seriously, stop defending evil. It makes you look like such a jackass.
Rather, it is your blatant ignorance of what the Supreme Court has already found with regards to the 2nd Amendment that shows you to be the jackass. Stop defending unconstitutional actions; I'll continue to defend the Bill of Rights - not "evil"...
So if I live in Washington State (which I did for 30+ years), I don't pay income tax - but if I move south to Oregon, I do. Does that mean Washington was breaking the Commerce Clause because I could live just across the border from Oregon and not pay a State income tax? That working for a company in Vancouver, WA meant I was benefiting from an "Commerce-Clause-busting" benefit that Washington State gave that business, that those in Portland, OR - just 3 miles away - didn't enjoy?
Texas is a third world state. Yeah law taxes, but you pay for everything, and the infrastructure is crumbling. If you dont make bank you have third world healthcare, schools, ect.
Here in California, we pay for everything as well (nice high sales and income taxes, high property taxes, high gas taxes) and the infrastructure is crumbling as well...
Governor Brown says we'll have a surplus, but the Legislative Accounting Office says we'll have a $1.9 billion deficit. Historically, the LAO is more accurate than the Governor's office...
Texas going blue? In 2008, 43% of votes cast went to President Obama. In 2012, it was only 40%, which is about the same percentage President Clinton and Candidate Kerry received. Texas isn't moving blue for a long time.
Actually, Link Light Rail did NOT go to the airport - it stopped 1 mile short, in Tukwila at Highway 99. It was only after a huge uproar of the voters - and after the project was already started - that the extension was added all the way to the airport. Hey, for $180 million PER MILE, why should it go to the airport, right?
The California Legislative Accounting Office says we're looking at a $1.9 billion deficit this year - not a surplus. Who to believe? Well, historically the LAO is much more accurate than the Governor's office...
Too bad gun nuts like you are so tied up with your little manhood enhancement to actually bother reading the constitution. Particularly the part about well regulated.
nice paranoid rant at the end, however. nothing says unstable nut-job like blathering on how you and you rambo like delusions of adequacy would actually stop any government out there.
Too bad gun haters like you refuse to recognize that in D C v Heller and later in McDonald v Chicago the Supreme Court found the 2nd Amendment EXPLICITLY refers to the individual right to keep and bear arms, and neither States nor the Federal Government can restrict your right as an individual to own firearms.
Maybe you need to quit your own blathering and foaming-at-the-mouth hatred for tools you obviously don't understand, and get a bit of education about what the 2nd Amendment really means.
And about those who possess firearms illegally? Like ANYONE in New York City who carries a pistol (NYC is basically a no-carry city)? How will you know who those people are, so you can not trade or vote for them?
If my neighbor carries loaded guns around I want to know about it.
Unfortunately, this list won't help you with those who carry or possess firearms illegally. Meaning they are already breaking the law and have a MUCH higher chance of committing other crimes.

It also uses FN Hernstal P90 submachine guns as a close combat/carry weapon, and that weapon also violates the proposed legislation.
Happy now, dumb ass?

Not according to the California Legislative Accounting Office (the California equivalent of the CBO). They say a $1.9 billion deficit.

You need to expand your knowledge-base.
