Why are gun laws so strict in California?
Not knowing the all of the firearms laws I can safely say that the population of california at 30,000,000 with that in mind take a look at how many crimes are committed. There are so many guns comming into the state with gun expositions and the likes that California law makers are trying to in some valiant way trying to take control of the amount of guns that are comming in to the possession of potential criminals. The laws are put into place for this reason these laws only target the law abiding regular people, not hell bent on crime. These are not federal laws for that would conflict with your 2nd ammendment right to bear arms. The scary thing is that it doesn’t matter what laws are in place, the bad guys will get the guns regardless, hence I say these laws are not going to stop a bad guy from getting one, they really only effect the leagally puchased gun owners.
The Constitution is the law of the land and state laws cannot deny a person of their liberty under it. The 14th amendment is a trash amendment not really understood and used to manipulate and push any agenda. The Supreme Court ruled Right to Keep and Bear means just that. Any state or city standing in the way of the bill of rights has no right to exist, and cannot unless the sheep let them. DC gun ban was determined illegal recently. The question though is why California has tough gun laws. The fact no one wants to hear is simple, gang banger blacks and drug dealing Chicanos and a few insane white boys who like to have standoffs with the law. Plus Cali knows, it won’t be long before the place implodes.
In response to “chuck’s” answer that California makes tough laws because Federal laws are restricted by the U.S. Constitution… ALL laws have to be constitutional. My God, I can’t believe people get through high school and college and don’t know that the Constitution (including the 2nd amendment) applies to ALL laws – federal, state and local!!! That’s NOT why California is strict. The real answer to that question is… California has strict laws because it’s governed by anti-gun Liberals. Plain and simple.
