In California, after January 1, 2014, long rifles will have to registered no differently than handguns. In the face of anti-gun attacks by leftist politicians, consumers are in a mad dash to secure their firearms, before the government makes it harder to obtain them.
In California, the leftists are not just going after the guns. Ammunition has been their main target. Since they can't take our guns. . . yet, they figure, they will just have to make the guns useless by banning certain kinds of ammunition (which is why we are now seeing the production of "green bullets"), and limiting the size of magazines.
Anti-gun politicians are happy with what they are accomplishing in blue States, and are working hard to expand these laws into new States. These laws have economic consequences, such as how in New York and Colorado, gun manufacturers are leaving the State. But the liberal left is not concerned about that. They just want to eliminate guns. That is their aim.
As Californians dash for their rifles before the year is out, it seems that most of them have decided the fight is over, and they just want to get what they can before the regulations become too stringent. But, in the face of these threats, the answer is not to give in, but to get involved, and stay involved. Continue to hammer your representatives, both at the State level, and federally. The ruling elite need to understand they are not rulers. They are representatives, and there are millions of gun owners who will refuse to allow them to dismantle our God-given right to keep and bear arms.
Folks that are not involved also need to understand what is at stake, here. This is not a drive to keep us safe, as the leftists claim. This is an attempt to disarm American citizens, and in history the only result of disarming a citizenry is disaster. In Britain and Australia, the banning of guns has resulted in a rise in violent crimes, and home invasions. In other countries, in the past, the disarming of the people resulted in the rise of tyranny, and often the genocide of particular groups, unable to defend themselves because they were disarmed.
Hitler and Stalin are prime examples.
The greatest assault on our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms is underway, not just in California, but federally, too. The powerful anti-gun lobby is doing all it can to change public opinion, using lies, distortion, misrepresentation, and emotional manipulation. Their goal is to take away our guns, to eliminate the Second Amendment, and to use the executive branch as much as possible, because Barack Obama has already shown a disdain for the United States Constitution, and the rights of American Citizens.
Harsh anti-gun laws are in the works. It is up to us to work to stop it. But if we don't contest them, they will do as they please. Before we are forced to meet with national gun confiscation, we need to fight for our gun rights. We do so by being active, and by being loud. We do so by exposing the anti-gun agenda for what it is, and pointing out the shameless strategies being used by politicians to wrestle your guns from your grip.
Activism. Conservatives need to learn to be activists. Loud, involved, and unrelenting.
