Yeah well, you bring a prayer book to a gun fight....

Say...lets defund more cops and take more legal guns away - after all, it's only fair - armed cowards need to be able to prey on the unarmed because they need to make a living too! Someone has to pay for all the drugs the CIA, the mobs and their banker cronies brings into America!

No worries I have been stalking ammo for just this occasion.. I knew it would be a matter of time before some Libtard tried to cut off ammo. I have enough to go shooting every day for a year, or have a short war..

If they can't take your guns, they will sue the ammo companies and take your ammo.

You can just buy amo. You don't have to stalk it. LOL

California Assault Weapons Ban Struck Down​

A federal judge ruled Friday that California’s “assault weapons” ban is unconstitutional.

The court found the state’s ban on the sale of AR-15s and other popular rifles violated the Second Amendment. Judge Roger Benitez ruled the guns targeted by California are in common use. He said the state ran afoul of the Constitution in restricting access to them.

“This case is not about extraordinary weapons lying at the outer limits of Second Amendment protection,” Benitez wrote. “The banned ‘assault weapons’ are not bazookas, howitzers, or machineguns. Those arms are dangerous and solely useful for military purposes. Instead, the firearms deemed ‘assault weapons’ are fairly ordinary, popular, modern rifles.

“This is an average case about average guns used in average ways for average purposes.”

California’s ban is one of the oldest and most aggressive in the country. It was instituted in 1989 but has been expanded multiple times in the decades since. The state added more guns and features to the ban. Eventually, it banned the possession of unregistered “assault weapons” before the latest iteration of the ban was challenged by gun-rights groups in federal court.

Benitez said the AR-15’s versatility made it widely popular in the United States, and that popularity is part of what gives it protection under the Second Amendment. He compared the modular firearm to a “Swiss Army Knife” and noted its use for home defense and civil defense.

“Good for both home and battle, the AR-15 is the kind of versatile gun that lies at the intersection of the kinds of firearms protected under District of Columbia v. Heller and United States v. Miller,” he said. “Yet, the State of California makes it a crime to have an AR15 type rifle. Therefore, this Court declares the California statutes to be unconstitutional.”

Alan Gottlieb, whose group the Second Amendment Foundation filed the suit alongside other gun-rights advocates, said he was “thrilled” by the ruling. He said it demonstrates that the Second Amendment protects the AR-15 under Supreme Court precedent......More

Gun control is needed but it needs better enforcing and construction of the laws.

Gun control saves women.

Unfortunately, the stats don't match up with your \"Gun control saves women" schtick. It's simply one of several narratives that progressives like Trudeau would want you to believe. See below:

A 2016 Statistic Canada report on Family Violence can help provide the answers by giving Canadian the facts they need to know. Every year, Statistic Canada publishes a report on Family Violence in Canada that provides information from Canadian police departments as well as self-reported incidences . This year, the report provides updated statistics for 2014 as well as an analysis on Canadian spousal violence from the last decade.

According to the report, 4% of Canadians reported physical or sexual abuse by their spouse during the last five years. Of that 4%, the split between genders was almost equal, with more men experiencing spousal violence than women, representing 55% of the abused population while women represented 45%.

Of the 4% of Canadians experiencing violence, less than 1% (0.7%) of incidences reported that a firearm was present between intimate partners. In fact, firearms were only present in 0.5% of overall cases.

Does this mean that firearms were used in a threatening way in 0.5% of all spousal violence cases? No, it does not. A firearm does not have to be involved in the incident for the police to report it as “firearms present.” If a firearm can be located on the premises during the violent incident, whether or not it was securely locked in a safe, the incident would be considered involving a firearm.

So if firearms don’t seem to be culprit behind most domestic violence incidences in Canada, what is?
The most common type of spousal violence reported was being pushed, grabbed, shoved or slapped. For women , most reports of violence were the least serious form of assault that include pushing, slapping, punching, verbal threats and criminal harassment, otherwise known as stalking. However, for men, most cases of violence came from major or common assaults which include assault with a weapon, causing bodily harm, using or threatening to use a weapon, aggravated assaults, pointing a firearm, discharging a firearm with intent, and criminal negligence among other assaults.

The good news is that the overall trend in Canada has seen a decline in the past decade, with the number of women and men reported being victims of spousal violence across both sexes falling from 7% in 2004 to 4% in 2014.

The facts speak for themselves. The truth is, in Canada, there is no link between firearms and domestic violence. As a nation we need to recognize that fact so that we can move on and get to the real root cause of domestic violence and focus on helping those in need of support and care. Firearms are not the problem nor are the 2.4 million legal firearm owners in Canada that possess them. To imply that they are, is simply ignoring the facts.

As responsible community members we all need to join in the fight against domestic violence.

I contend that no amount of government regulations will make a difference - even gun control laws because it's not the 'average gun owner' that is dangerous - it's the criminals who don't give a crap what the 'regulations' state as they don't follow them anyway. So, being naïve about the situation won't make things any better. Just sayin....

Canadians seem to attribute gun violence in the States as happening here and that's not the case at all. Our gun laws are already quite strict so no additional regulations are necessary. Further more, any gun violence in Canada can be attributed to criminals so that's where the focus should be!! Not on law-abiding citizens who already have to jump hoops to even get a firearm.
