Yet again, Democrat lawmakers in the People's Republic of California are proposing to ban various guns and accessories. Such a ban would be obeyed, of course, only by the law-abiding.

The San Bernardino shooters were already breaking a number of laws, starting with the law against murder. It seems unlikely that a law telling them they can't have certain guns, would make them change their ways. The Democrat lawmakers did not explain how making a few more laws would change anything that such wanton murderers do.

This is the 4,372nd time Democrat lawmakers have tried to respond to such crimes by banning guns and/or accessories. There is no evidence on record that such bans have ever changed anything.... except to disarm the law-abiding and make them easier targets for criminals who don't obey such laws.

Isn't there a name for repeating the same act over and over and expecting a different result?

Lawmakers advance gun control measures in response to San Bernardino massacre

Four months after the San Bernardino mass shooting, state lawmakers on Tuesday gave initial approval to five gun control bills, including measures that would outlaw assault rifles with detachable magazines, ban possession of clips holding more than 10 rounds and require homemade guns to be registered with the state.

The bills approved by the state Senate Public Safety Committee were introduced in response to the December shooting in San Bernardino that left 14 people dead and 22 others wounded at the hands of two terrorists.

One of the measures the panel sent toward the Senate floor would outlaw assault rifles with easily detachable bullet magazines like one of the weapons used in the mass shooting in San Bernardino.

The bill prohibits the sale of semiautomatic, centerfire rifles with a “bullet button,” a recessed button that, when pressed, allows removal of the magazine. Those who already own them must register them with the state as assault rifles.

Democratic state Sens. Isadore Hall of Compton and Steve Glazer of Orinda introduced the measure, SB 880, in response to the discovery of a gun with a bullet button that was in the possession of the San Bernardino terrorists.

“These weapons of war don’t belong in our communities,” Glazer told the Senate panel before it approved the measure he coauthored with Hall.

Hall said there is an urgent need to close a loophole in the law that bans assault weapons.

The Senate panel also approved a bill by Sen. Loni Hancock (D-Berkeley) that would ban the possession of ammunition magazines holding more than 10 rounds, closing a loophole in a law that already prohibits their manufacture and sale in California.

It's especially ironic that the Democrats chose today to release their latest attempts to take away law-abiding American citizens' guns, 241 years to the day after American colonists fired on British troops who were coming to take away their guns.

That event started a revolution.

My opinion is that we had an opportunity to turn this state around when Grey Davis was recalled but we failed. To have had enough support to affect a recall of a Democratic governor meant we were ready for change, but instead we elected Schwarzenegger.

We lost our window of opportunity. I don't see that opportunity coming again for another generation, maybe two now that Millenials are old enough to vote.

Typical Liberal knee-jerk reaction.

Blame the instrument, not the user.

Ahnold still had to deal with the same extreme-left legislature. They usually wouldn't pass anything he wanted, and kept passing bills for tax increases, higher entitlement spending etc. He could sign those or sign nothing.
