California's gun laws have been bad enough, for long enough, that people coming of age have never known any different out there. It's similar to people in NY/MA/Etc., they don't view their laws as being nearly as restrictive as someone viewing those same laws from outside of the state where the laws are less restrictive. The demographics are not favorable for CA to ever abandon their gun control path. Their legislators don't simply have a majority, they have such a super-majority that no amount of effort by those at Calguns or other pro-2A groups is going to matter....and the legislators know that and act accordingly. That Yee guy, it's like a contest to see how he can one-up other legislators and propose the most restrictive gun control possible with as much hyperbole as possible when doing so.Originally Posted by Zundfolge
My mother lives in CA. I was raised with guns from a very early age (shooting 1911's at 5yrs old, multiple long guns before grade-school). In spite of my upbringing, she now (granted, she's 'advanced in years') deems my gun ownership as unfortunate and says she wishes I didn't own guns. The powers that be out there just keep drilling it into the people's heads that guns=satan, and anyone that owns a gun cannot have any intent other than harming someone with it. Even people, like my mother, that had no issue with my gun hobby as a child, thinks it's unfortunate that someone nearly 50 years old owns guns.
Saving CA in terms of gun rights? -I don't see it happening.
Much of California is very beautiful. I lived there for almost a year and made several trips between LA and San Diego. I miss the beauty of it. I lived out in the middle of nowhere, and I enjoyed physically living there. I abhor the politics and the idiocracy that flourish like rabbits in the spring, but it certainly would be an ideal place to live if none of the people were there.
ETA: I added emphasis above because I bet most forum members would agree.

I'm not disagreeing on it being a beautiful place to live, but the politics and restrictions on life in general seem to outweigh the beauty.
My friend lived near San Diego for a few years and I very much enjoyed going out to visit him and all the hot girls on the beach all the time ... however I feel like I give enough of my money to the government here .. Don't need to go there and give even more.
CA is lost. It will not be long and the drug cartels will take over LA and SF like they have done to Chicago. We just need to be able to stop them from moving to CO, force them to reside in UT or OR or NV. BGC: if from CA you can't come here (except for us that are grandfathered).

Easy, drop them from the union for going against the Constitution then build a fence and heavily enforce immigration.
That is why I am now living here

Lex has the solution.
I have weapons in CA and I sure as fuck am not going to register them.
Re: Meanwhile California is getting even worse laws...
Completely agree!
Like Boulder, I absolutely love everything about California.... Except for a majority of the people living there.
My wife and all of her family are from California (she's registered republican and very 2a friendly), I have a bit of an interest in their success.
