This shit would have never gotten this far if it wasn't for the union or lobbyists carving out exemptions...
This seems like a clear example of the government overestimating it’s own power and importance.
The California government clearly can’t control the business decisions of gunmakers that operate outside the borders of CA.
They just haven’t grasped that their economic power is not sufficient to compel private industry to do their bidding.
I’m fine with it - give it some time and they’ll eventually realize that Sacramento is not King’s Landing, and their edicts are not automatically obeyed throughout the land.
Some animals are more equal.
As a fellow occupant of a liberal stronghold, I hope we can do the same for IL, but the shittiness of the state has pushed the liberals out too. For us, it pushes them into Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Wisconsin, and Texas, and for your state, into Texas, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Arizona....All this shit you're seeing where you live is coming soon to a state near you. Like driving distance near you.
Many of us on the conservative side may think we can always retreat to the shire of our choosing where corruption and evil shall never reach, but it makes me think of one of my favorite movies....
"The fires of Isengard will spread, and the forests of Tuckbourough and Buckland will burn. And all that was once great and good in this world will be gone. There won't be a Shire, Pippin."
This has been your dour moment, brought to you by your dour conservative. Remember to donate to your state level gun advocacy group and tip the waitresses!
Agreed, I’ve heard all these arguments and I have thought them as well which is why I still reside in this state, but there comes a time where every good general knows it is time to retreat and reconsolidate. It wasn’t until the forces of Rohan moved to aid Gondor that Isengard was defeated.
There's only 90k sworn cops in CA. That's not a big enough market to force this change. I would hope that all firearms manufacturers would tell CA LE to etadik on this one, but some bottom-feeder will realize it's a captive market and score 90k units of a sale. My agency will be good for several years as we're getting Gen5 MOS this July.
Those people are already eF’d because of where they live. If the agents of the government that passes these laws and the security for celebrities who support them can’t source guns and ammunition (hell, make it hard for Hollywood to buy guns/ammo from Free America) then maybe learning will occur. Stupidity is supposed to hurt.
Not if “distribution” is included in my concept of “gun industry”. No sales to distributors who sell to anti-2A areas.

But that's not what really happened to Barrett, plenty is still actually sold here through distribution.

What Barrett did is Virtue Signaling IMO
What Barrett did is better than bending over and asking “may I have another please?”. If there was an industry wide agreement to quit feeding the bear then maybe the bear will starve. Or more likely go buy guns from China...
