I would probably answer the question with No i do not own a firearm but I do have a Sherman tank!

There should be no limit on weapon ownership. An armed society is a free society. The problem is weapons training is not required in school. Every American should be as familiar with weapons as they are with driving. The attacker will always find a weapon with which to kill. Only an armed person can protect themselves and others.

Note to self: Should a doctor ever ask me if I own firearms, walk out immediately and maybe say something profane about fascists or a particular fascist. .
Don't think I need to worry about my regular doctor, who I see every four months.
He once referred to the Obama regime as "people who do not know what they are doing."
One could argue that the lying control freaks know exactly what they are doing but I let it go.
I go there to keep my Type 2 Diabetes under control.

Depends upon the kind of car you have...A hummer would be one of the larger calipers...hahahhahaha

Nothings perfect...but we attempt to solve the problem, assuming perfect conditions like honesty, competence and reasoned responses. None of what we are experiencing and observing is reasonable or makes any sense what so ever.

But think of it this way...No sane, healthy or conscious individual ever perpetrated crimes and violence that we see today and yes, everyone has their trigger points...but the one's most vulnerable to committing these act are clearly flawed in some profound way and the circumstances I put forth are the ones, I think, we should consider.
We can do "What If's" all day long but it ain't gona have any effect upon the problem. I don't think there is a perfect answer here.

What rule actually bars one from owning a Sherman Tank, except for the machine guns? The main gun is not an automatic weapon, by any stretch. Is there a rule from the ATF on caliber?

After a little research, it looks like you can with an NFA license. Some have sold as cheaply as $40K, but not your Sherman. Wanna go in halvsies with an LLC?

AMA is a disgusting, power-hungry institution, contributing to the high cost and limited availability of health care in the US. I think, in terms of damage, the AMA is the worst union in the world.

Of course they want to enter this fray with the position that "we can help you as the concerned, intelligent professionals...Just give us control."

I think guns are too small for this job...I still want a Sherman tank! laughing

Mark Twain was writing about South Carolina when he described it as "too small to make a nation, but too large to be an insane asylum." One could more aptly apply that to California today.

"I say that any individual that has consistently exhibited poor or criminal behavior, is on psychotropic drugs (under the care of a physiologist) or comes from or associates with pagan barbaric religious groups-(muslims) should not have guns."

What about due process? In the first case, if they have been convicted of a felony, then yes, they should lose their 2nd Amendment rights along with some others (like the franchise.) But where is the due process involved in being under the care of (what I presume you meant to say) a psychologist or psychiatrist, or being a member of some arbitrarily-defined religious group?

Depriving people of Constitutionally defined rights with no due process will not ever end well. What if a proggie Administration decides that NRA membership constitutes membership in a "dangerous extremist group?" Go to the comments section of any article on gun control and you'll see progtards making exactly that argument.

Ruger was up 70% last year. Smith and Wesson was up 80% last year. I think I missed the opportunity, but with the number of terrorist attacks happening everywhere this Ramadan, there may be a nice buying opportunity a few weeks after Ramadan ends on Wednesday. The P/E ratio is not out of line right now.

Agree, but I don't think that the Federal government is ever going to quit propping them up. That's what the Federal government does. And if the wimpy Republicans, by some miracle win the White House and the Congress, they will continue propping them up, too.

I don't get why most are staying...economics I guess...I spent 4 years out there...Crazy! would be the phrase I'd use.

Or, move out of California.

If enough productive people leave the state and enough illegals who don't pay taxes move in and the Federal government quits propping them up we might get to see what an illegal state bankruptcy looks like.

They do make smaller mag's now...or find someone that can print one...bury your larger one's in the yard...I'm bad...

Possession of cocaine was legal until it wasn't. Then everyone had to turn it in.

That's what's happened in California. Those who own magazines with capacity exceeding 10 rounds must be turned in to authorities. Exactly how they'll enforce this, I don't know. Prohibiting alcohol and drugs didn't work. Prohibiting small inanimate objects, like magazines looks tough. Maybe they'll try to subpoena purchase records from retailers and send brownshirts door to door.

If you've had them for a while, how can their subversive laws be retroactive...

The current climate may wear the value of the stock down over time,,,right now, sales are up, with each ratcheted threat.

That sucks...suppose they'll be checking your trunk when entering the state next...crap, hope I didn't give em any ideas...

I checked the latest California legal/illegal gun lists and found out almost all of my firearms aren't legal in the state. They either have detachable magazines or hold too many rounds or lack one or more safety features or are too effective (That would be the Judges - California calls them short barreled shotguns which, could be accurate but, it depends on what I put in them, doesn't it.) or, the manufacturer got fed up with California and won't pay what it costs to get the weapons certified to be legal.

I made a mistake not investing in gun company stocks in 2008. Does anyone think it is too late to do so?

Also changes for ammo purchases in CA:

Agreed...
