It’s moronic. We demand lower noise in most products, but demand higher noise in guns because we can’t distinguish Hollywood bullshit from reality. I think most CA Dems would accept the premise that reducing injurious noise levels while participating in a legal activity is a good idea, but institutionally they’d never give an inch on gun laws.
Let’s be real here, if CA had their way, the only guns citizens would be legally allowed to own are muzzleloaders/muskets, and even then those would be heavily regulated.
I swear, CA becomes more of a nanny state by the day, and unfortunately, many people in LA and SF just nod in smug approval.
I thank Reagan and the Democrats for that. That act was unanimously passed just because white people were scared of black people protecting themselves from the racist cops.
For sure, but my point was that t hey know that outright banning guns is nearly impossible, so they’ve done essentially what the republicans have done on abortion. They’ve attacked it on every other conceivable angle: they’ve made it hard to buy guns, hard to use them, hard to run any business that sells them, hard to buy ammo, hard to stay in legal compliance with constantly changing laws and case law.
The state’s strategy has essentially morphed to enacting every law and policy that makes it harder to buy, own, and use guns, knowing that most of them are not legal, but get them tied up in courts indefinitely. It’s a scummy strategy, but it’s been fairly effective.

Except for current or former police officers. They can buy what they like and even sell to people no questions asked.
