Does the new gun registration in california give you cause to move?

It passed? Well they are well known for wasting money. Which is what this will do. Didn't canada just get rif of theirs?

Edit: It passed just the house. I already knew that. Still has to go through the senate and be signed by the governer. Still I do expect him to sign it. Even after he is told the canadian one is being taken down because it wastes money and doesn't help crime. But thats all kalifornistan does is waste money.

I am openly gay and I am an elementary school teacher. This means I can live in San Francisco or Los Angeles. That's it. So I can't move.

Also, I inherited a bunch of long guns, so I don't care that much. I inherited a Winchester .30-30, a Winchester Model 70 in .243, a Marlin Model 39 in .22 LR, and a Savage BSE double barrel in 20 guage,.

Well I live in California so I'm already used to having to register my pistols... so having to register a long rifle or shotgun isn't that much a a big step. What's even more crazy is that since I'm in Los Angeles county, I have to give a thumb print on all in-store ammo purchases... Big brother over here has us law-abiding citizens in such a short leash it's starting to become just a bit suffocating IMO. I'm considering moving to Arizona even so I don't necessarily agree with their immigration laws but their gun laws are much more desirable.

yep. i would move. or lie.

i wouldn't register my guns.

our constitution guarantees us the right to bear arms.

the supreme court is established to interpret the constitution and determine if laws are constitutional.

on other societal issues, the court has established that one citizen's rights under the constitution end where they begin to interfere with the rights of another citizen.

we are granted freedom of religion, but not total freedom.

dale neumann was convicted in 2003 because he prayed for his daughter to recover from sickness, which she did not. the courts ruled he put his religion before his daughter's life, which is not protected in our bill of rights.

on the contrary, many states and communities publish registered sex-offenders' names, addresses, etc., in local newspapers and online, for everyone to see. this is constitutional because the sex-offenders had surrendered their rights as a citizen when they committed a felony.

according to the california gun registration laws, they are wanting to do the same thing to gun holders, whether they own guns for recreational, home-defense, or other use.

we all know how well our government protects our sensitive information. like the times that our social security numbers were leaked to the public (see second siting).

i personally don't want everyone knowing how many guns i own, where i live, and where they can contact me. i can already see groups like the westboro baptist church getting ahold of this information and picketing at my gate, displaying their hatred for me because i own a gun. this would fall into the "violates civil liberties" category.

imagine the uproar if the government decided that all followers of the jewish religion (i'm not picking on the jewish, it's just an example) were forced to register their names, addresses, and phone numbers on a government database, and additionally, register how many times a day they prayed.

if you are going to protect one of our "divine rights," you must defend them all.

i think this quote completely sums up all of what i'm trying to say:

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." Ben Franklin

I don't live in California, but I visit friends there occasionally. This news makes me even less likely to ever move there permanently. It's sad that the left wing has dominated this state so long. My friends may move to other states.

I moved when they passed the helmet law and the assault rifle law before 1992. I hate that stupid state and anyone dumb enough to live there deserves all the pain they suffer.
