You recently wrote in an editorial that it is nuts and crazy that the state has laws regarding fireworks and not military lookalike firearms.
It’s astonishing to me and the rest of the knowledgeable firearm owners how the ignorance of non-gun owners stands behind judgments or decisions on what is a bad gun or what is a good gun. Ignorance is rampant on your behalf for comparing fireworks laws and firearm laws.
Firecrackers don’t have the Bill of Rights protecting them as firearms because firearms are a tool that protects oneself, one community, one country. Our forefathers trusted the people at the common level, not the elected few.
Blaming guns for crime is like blaming newspapers for arson fires that are lit with them.
These military lookalike firearms that Sen. Strimling wants to ban are no different in function than any other gun, one pull of the trigger for each shot. These guns were used in the L.A. riots to protect the businesses of store owners from being burned down by angry rioters; just the presence of them on the rooftops saved the stores when the police ran away.
L.D. 1579 is out of touch with the reality of anything that has anything to do with crime and is not the real voice of the people.
The last thing we need is a legislative nanny telling us what we should have and not have to protect ourselves with.
