CALIFORNIA SHUTS DOWN NEW PISTOL SALES



California’s new gun laws require that new pistols sold in California be able to micro-stamp ammunition cartridges with the pistol identification number.  The law provides that existing approved pistols will be grandfathered in.  However, pistol manufacturers are constantly making modifications to their pistols, just as auto manufacturers do.  California has now taken the position that any such modification to a pistol means that it is a new pistol and has to have the micro-stamping process.  Consequently, you can’t buy a new pistol in California if it was modified from its original, licensed configuration. 

COMMENTS:

It is readily apparent to anyone looking at this ridiculous ruling that it was all designed to prevent citizens from being able to exercise their Constitutional rights to purchase and bear arms.  This is akin to saying that if a car manufacturer goes to a better quality of brakes, the whole vehicle has to be re-licensed in order to be sold in the state.  Since new laws also prevent the modification of the gun by the owner, I have to assume that the addition of a laser sight capability would require me to toss the gun in the ashcan because it doesn’t micro-stamp cartridges.  Of course, a thug could retrieve said gun from the ashcan and create all kinds of mayhem, but I guess that doesn't count.   

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. What are the Japanese doing with the nuclear fuel they are removing from the reactors at Fukushima?  (Boss ~ Las Vegas, NV)
A. They are feverishly looking for a place to store it.  How about downtown Washington, DC? 

Q. They’re forecasting now that due to the requirements being placed on doctors, as many as 50% of them may close up shop during the next 12 months.  What does Obama have to say about that?  (Leonora ~ Beverly Hill, CA)
A. Probably something like, “Gosh, isn’t that just too damned bad?” 

Q. I hear that Canadians are buying up potassium iodide like there’s no tomorrow to help protect them against radiation from the Fukushima plant.  Is there that much of a danger?  (Jeff ~ Mountain Home, ID)
A. The Canadians think so.  Evidently, we don’t need to worry because, we have ObamaCare. 


TODAY’S QUOTE:

Nobody could tell us or really had a very good idea, if there were a massive release of radiation, what kind of medical treatment people were going to need and this or that, or, indeed, whether there would be medical personnel around.” William Scranton
