Have to believe that... Gun laws will end gun violence.

How can I be sure that this isn't a "divide and conquer" bit of sophistry being made to sound like common sense by those who would strip us of our legally-owned weapons? First dangerous handguns. Then cheap ones. Then ones that don't pass a State standard. Then ones with a certain capacity. ... And then since there are so few left, there is no meaningful, organized opposition remaining to the original goal of just banning civilian-owned handguns. (...) Guns, period. Look north. Your words are EXACTLY what's happening in Canada today. Be warned: Ideas flow south. Didn't Clinton try to bring Canadian style health care to your country? Cheers, PW.

LOL...ok, I'm way off in gun pricing... anyway I'm not sure if you live in California, but this gun legislation came out of the blue at least to me. I'm not a gun person, mind you and I am pretty sick of the total lack of regulation of gun shows etc. where criminals are clearly getting guns... but lets not get carried away... the problem is this governor ran on a very centrist platform and thats where he should stay imo. You drive people away when extreme positions are taken and this might be too extreme, I don't know. The opposition candidate in Ca was this far right pro-lifer and he failed miserably in the elections... positions like this are why...
