Heaven forbid we should use our Constitution granted freedoms. This is incremental tyranny. They can't get away with a total gun ban yet in most of the US, so they ban them bit by bit.

Hey it looks like the rest of the nation will be like Nazifornia soon!  Welcome to my world!

Of course how many actual crimes will be prevented because of this law:  0

But it will make people feel good.  And feelings are more important than actual results.  Lets ban red cars while were at it since red cars account for the majority of speeding tickets which means more accidents and more people getting killed.  It makes about as much sense.

Just an FYI.  The governator has appointed a member of the Sierra Club to our state Fish and Game board.  His previous appointment was some yahoo that has gone fishing a couple of times.  They are proposing a ban on lead ammunition for large game hunting because they are finding elevated levels of lead in the endangered Condors.  Of course no other animals including vultures, eagles, hawks, crows, etc seem to be having any problems.  Since they can't figure out any other culprit they are blaming hunters saying that the leftovers after and animal is taken must be passing lead on to the condors.  Of course there is no proof that this is the source or any way that you could prove it.  And if you question the science behind any of it your labeled as a extreme hunting nut.  It includes shotguns, rifles, and even muzzle loading muskets that we have been shooting in this country since the Pilgrims stepped off the boat.  No other carrion eating animal is being effected but the wording of the ban is already in the proposed 2006-2007 regulations.  They've managed to close large sections of the California coast to recreational fishermen already using dubious science.  They go off of fish counts made by divers who are sympathetic to the anti fishing crowd.

I hear that Condor tastes like chicken...maybe I'll have to find out for myself.
