I guess my point is we don't have any of that stuff up here and don't want it.
I don't own any zombie guns but don't have a problem with those that do.
I hunt so I have guns for hunting. Once in while I go to remote places in AK so I have a dirty harry gun for protection. I also use that one for peace of mind at home. Hopefully I will never have to touch it for that purpose but would.
I'd say the gubmint knows about half my guns because they were bought retail. They don't know about the other half and I'm fine with that. I do not believe they trace ammo sales at all right now and I'm fine with that. The current taxes on ammo and all hunting and fishing gear go right back to hunting and fishing related projects....cool with that too.
I lived in Chicago for many years. It was similar to CA. You could not even buy ammo period in the city. You had to have your handguns licensed. That was a pain in the azz. Heck you guys can't even get a concealed permit in CA. In WA it's about $60 and as long as you have no wife beating issues or felonies it's yours.
As I've stated before (not a popular opinion) I've got zero problems with Californians. I however want nothing to do with your firearm laws.
Not sure why I've a got a bug up butt about this but I do.

ps Hows the new digs in Paradise? I like it up there. I've got an aunt and uncle next door in Magalia.
pps Laughed my azz off at the zzzzzzzing on the classified board by the dude looking for a Willies. That is some good stuff.
