In Liberaland, aka California, the democratic governor vetoed SEVEN gun control bills -

 

The most controversial sought to ban the manufacture, sale and importation of semiautomatic combat-style rifles with detachable magazines.

 

"I don't believe that this bill's blanket ban on semiautomatic rifles would reduce criminal activity or enhance public safety enough to warrant this infringement on gun owners' rights,"  Brown wrote in veto message. He said the bill applied to "low-capacity rifles that are commonly used for hunting, firearms training and marksmanship practice, as well as some historical and collectible firearms."

 

The measure would have also required current owners to register their weapons and would have prohibited them from selling or transferring them.

 

I like this guy, wonder if he would consider running for Presidential nomination again?  I might even vote for him now that I've looked at some of his past ideas.  He supported the Flat tax, was a fiscal conservative, yet supports gay rights and seems to be pro labor. 

 

And, on a funny note, I read where Diane Feinstein officiated his wedding.  I bet she is stroking out over his veto of a bill Im sure she strongly supported

Yes, he did.  But, they also included, in the ban, the ability to suspend the ban if the federal government were to ever ban non lead ammunition due to its ability to pierce armor.  In other words, if the feds ever pass a law that would prevent access to ammo other than lead ammo, the ban on lead ammo in CA would be lifted and lead ammo could be purchased.

 

I can understand the ban on lead ammo in a state that is as environmentally anal (aka conscious) as CA. 

My point was that he vetoed numerous items i would have expected to be approved.  The ban on lead bullets in a state that is so overly green, in my opinion, had little to do with the current gun controversy and more to do with the lead itself.  

 

Is none lead more expensive?  Yep.  But so is everything else in California partly due to their crazy green initiatives.  

In his signing statement, Brown made the point that California already has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation.  He also noted that the legislation he vetoed would have banned "low-capacity"

 

 

In his signing statement, Brown made the point that California already has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, including "bans on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines."  He also noted that the legislation he vetoed would have banned  "low-capacity"semi-automatic weapons with detachable magazines, which are types used for hunting and other sporting purposes and for firearms training. He also pointed out that he had signed into law that same day a law that "closed a loophole in the existing ban on high-capacity magazines."

 

Given your glowing endorsement of this governor, one would think that you might have moderated your stand on high-capacity magazines and "military-style assault rifles." The governor obviously endorses those bans.  Would you really trust such a person in the White House?

 

Read what the guv'nor said.  Here is the entire signing statement::  http://gov.ca.gov/docs/SB_374_2013_Veto_Message.pdf#page=1&zoom=auto,0,563

I had already read most of that information.  Brown did not pass the strict gun laws in CA.  In fact, I think many of those bans were passed under a Republican in the late 80's (again - bizzaroworld), but I could be mistaken.  He could have easily taken the opportunity to pass even stricter gun laws, but instead he vetoed most of what made it to his desk. 

 

You will find, if you pay enough attention, that I am not a strict conservative on all my views.  I can get behind someone that is not completely aligned with everything I believe.  From what I have read about Brown, he seems to be a middle of the road politician, both in his speeches and how he governs.  If we had a democrat like that in the White House now, we might not be in the place we are as a country.  The 'great divider,' as I believe he will be known as eventually, has done nothing but drive a wedge between people of this country.  Between Republican and Democrat, between black and white, between rich and poor.

He did not pass all those laws, but in his statement he obviously is saluting them.
