Just a rumor at this point,

Glad I don't live in Kalifornia

 

[venenoindy]

It is extremely frustrating for me to see all that happens in California, I know that many good people live there but they should leave like I did when I saw all the bs going on there.

All companies should drop out of Cali.. If the people want to elect fools let them live with the results.

I hope this trend continues.

IMO, if Colt leaves CT and Remington leaves NY it would be big time news. The media could not ignore it. If all firearm manufacturers followed Ruger's lead in CA it would make me very happy.

 

[Chewie]

Unfortunately without a big $$ impact the uninformed masses don't and won't care. They will continue on in their Hollywood directed dream world and blame everyone else when the SHTF.

+2. Who is the bigger fool... the one in office, or the voters? How many more "Detroits" will it take?

 

[Steve B]

Commiefornia, New York, etc. can ignore the constitution and nothing is done. So why can't Indiana ignore all of the NFA laws and justify it the same way? Why we're at it let's drop the LTCH crap as well. We need some states to start taking this the other direction and giving back our rights. Let's see how long it takes before people start moving to the newly freed states.

So true Chewie, "Hollywood directed dream world"!!!! So many people just don't have clue one what is really going on in the country, but yet they will vote for whoever promises to give them the most. Just my opinion.

 

[Kedric]

This needs to happen, along with more companies relocating.

I pretty much agree with what Steve B said too.

The residents of NY and CA would probably be happy as well. They wouldn't have the black stain of the baby killer factories on their record anymore.

 

[Birds Away]

The lefty's in California must be falling all over themselves high fiving. This is exactly what they hoped for and it is coming to pass. You will soon see the same legislation in all of the States where radical leftists are in power.

Wait, I'm confused. I thought killing babies was a good thing to the radical leftists?

Thats what I was thinking...somewhat.

I wonder if there's enough voting populace in Cali any more to kick out the Anti-2nd ammendment folks. I talked to one gun owner out there(northern Cali guy...loves hunting and fishing). He was pretty out of touch with how far Cali was out of whack with the rest of the country. He's a hunter. 3 or 4 rounds and a bolt action and he's happy. They start going after all high powered hunting rifles and he'll notice...but self defense and AR's...he didn't pay much attention.

This is exactly why, as gun owners, we ALL must stick together. Hand gunners, shot gunners, riflemen, and NFA owners. Divide and conquer, oldest tactic in the world.

THIS! I've met a few Californians and they've had this mentality when I talked to them about Cali and firearms. The voting population there is bought out by politicians with entitlements, subsidies and good ol' fashioned lowest common denominator pandering, all that we have to pay for b/c the politicians in Cali seem to think they are a utopia, paid for with the rest of the Nation's tax dollars in bailouts.

That being said: Despite them being dropped off the citizen's "okay" list, I can't imagine them being taken off the police's "okay" list. This is a win/win for Cali in disguise. We hail the move, but don't know that the police are going to get whatever weapons they want, approved list or not. I cannot imagine Smith or even Ruger dropping any lucrative police contracts. I thought it was funny, actually funny when Barrett said no Cali sales, even to .gov. How many .50 cals did the police employ in that state? I'm willing to bet I could count on 1 hand the number they have and wouldn't need to even count how many times they actually used them. I''m a salesperson by trade: It's easy to deny a sale when there is no market.

There is a distinct advantage to moving the armories of the republic into conservative states. Next time the SHTF, the great armories will be in the right (and right wing) hands. Put those manufacturers anywhere in the heartland—Indiana, Texas, or any of the conservative states—and I am happy.
