California is racist!
Scary accusation right?
Racism is gone now that we have a president of color, right?
Well, I’m talking about handguns again. Currently California has a list, a roster, known as the “safe gun list”. This list is comprised of handguns from different manufacturers that have sent the state two guns, ammo, and a fee so the state can test their “safeness”. So, what’s a safe handgun? Who knows! However, to me a safe handgun is one that doesn’t blow up when I shoot it. So, the term “safe” is relative and open for interpretation. In California they say that any gun manufacturer who doesn’t pay the fee and have features like a “magazine disconnect” or “loaded chamber indicator” can’t sell their guns in California because they are unsafe.
Also, the law enforcement in California are immune from this law. They may purchase “unsafe” handguns if they like. In fact, they can even sell their “unsafe” handguns to citizens after they purchase them. So, what exactly does this have to do with racism you’re wondering?
I’m claiming CA is racist because they discriminate between colors of handguns. I can buy a Kimber that’s finished as stainless steel, but not blued for the same caliber. I can buy a gun that’s right handed, but not left handed. Of course, if they were on the list, then I could buy them, right? Exactly, I could. But why should the same gun be listed twice on the list just because it’s a different color? That’s like saying you can only sell red Volkswagen Jetta TDI’s in CA because the blue ones pollute too much.
There’s actually a lawsuit against the state right now. Tying up more money of yours and mine. The state will fight tooth and nail to keep their draconian laws, however we, the law abiding citizens, actually appear to be able to win. We’re are starting to win the good fight. We’re slowly getting our rights back. Even the ACLU is starting to stand up for people who have had their rights violated when exercising their second amendment right to keep and bear arms.
