Dusty - this stuff swings from left to right, just like pendulums. We hear about all of this now, and in a few years after the streets have run red, the cities have melted down and anarchy thrives in downtown CA cities, it will swing the other way.
Kalifornika lawmakers are such immature fools it is almost worth the wait to see how many of them die by their own foolishness, thinking that serial numbering bullets will keep criminals from killing innocent (actually too stupid for voting in those poiticians) civilians and laying seige to police stations. I think when it gets so bad that the mian focus of drive-by shooting is the Capitol house or the Legislature, they will get the picture.
That's the great thing about criminals - they always take enough rope to hang themselves, and once the people are disarmed and criminals establish an anarchy the people will revolt and free themselves in spite of the best efforts of the law to keep them subservient. If they don't, then we just put up a fence around the state and keep them there. JMHO. Mikey.
