California - say goodbye to the Bill of Rights.
If no resistance then Washington and Oregon are next.
Then everyone else.
Hide your guns, gold and silver.

You know the founders of our republic only wrote the fifth amendment because they didn't have anything better to do.
Making a List and Checking it Twice
It seems that the new approach to gun control in America is just creating a magic list of naughty and nice.
That is the sentiment behind the President’s proposal to ban persons on the no-fly list from owning a gun.
American citizens, through mere suspicion by the government, could be denied a constitutional right.
And in reality, it is no different here with this new law in California.
By mere suspicion, the matter can be brought before a judge, who can then order the cops to come and take your guns.
Again, it sounds great when we have an idealistic picture of crazy in our heads.
But that is not how mental health works.
The person next to you on the subway may be struggling with a clinical diagnosis of some sort, and you would have no idea.
People without a diagnosis can often verbally lash out in anger and sound pretty darn crazy when in reality, they just need a minute to cool off.
But if their name makes its way onto the naughty list, then a constitutional right will be denied.
I guess it is a good thing that judges never legislate from the bench or rule out of their own political disposition, right?
(That was heavy sarcasm, by the way.)
