Just a few weeks ago California was a governor's signature away from banning semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines. In other words, nearly every modern rifle in existence.
- Jtsummers 13y agoPerhaps because I live in the South I've not seen some of the impact, but why did the governor not sign the law? What was the expected enforceability/constitutionality of the law?

- Jtsummers 13y agoThanks, so he vetoed it based on a belief that it went too far in restricting a right while not providing sufficients benefit in terms of gains in public safety.
- wil421 13y agoI'm in the South too and many people that I know enjoy being safe with their guns. Instead of outlawing gun control how about we outlaw crazy people from carrying them. Or better yet hold the parents of children responsible who go off and do shootings in schools. If they let their kid stockpile weapons in their basement then they should be responsible in some way for what their child does. (I am talking about Columbine type stuff, not the LAX shooting)
