The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution<\/a> states:<\/p>\n

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep in mind when reading that amendment that the Bill of Rights<\/a>, which includes the Second Amendment, was added to the Constitution to further insure the rights of citizens–not the rights of the government. This Amendment is there to insure the rights of the people to possess arms.The Revolutionary War<\/a> battles of Lexington and Concord<\/a> occurred because the British, under Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith, were ordered to capture and destroy military supplies that were reportedly stored by the Massachusetts militia<\/a> at Concord. From our beginnings as a nation, Americans have wanted to protect their right to bear arms.<\/p>\n

California<\/a> seems to have forgotten America<\/a>‘s history and the U.S. Constitution<\/a>. Breitbart<\/a> posted an article today about new regulations going into effect in California starting today.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Currently, law-abiding Californians must buy their ammunition from a licensed in-state ammunition dealer. This means that Californians who buy ammunition online must have that ammo shipped to a licensed in-state dealer and pay that dealer a fee when picking up the ammo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These controls immediately lessen the supply of ammunition, thereby driving up the price for those who demand it. Also, these controls set the stage for phase two of ammunition control, which will consist of requiring a point-of-sale background check for ammunition purchases starting January 1, 2019. The point-of-sale background check will also carry a processing fee, which will drive the price of ammunition even higher.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These controls are in addition to the requirement that law-abiding Californians obtain a firearm safety certificate from the state before buying a firearm, endure a ten-day waiting period for gun purchases, pass a universal background check, register all firearms with the state, and live under the shadow of gun confiscation laws. There is an \u201cassault weapons\u201d ban, a ban on campus carry, and a new law against K-12 teachers being armed to shoot back if under attack at school.<\/strong><\/p>\n

California also has a \u201cgood cause\u201d requirement for concealed carry, which allows bureaucrats within the issuing system to strictly control the number of permits given to law-abiding citizens. This single gun control has resulted in limiting the number of permits issued<\/a> in Los Angeles County to 197; Los Angles<\/a> County has a population of 10.2 million, yet only 197 concealed carry permits<\/a> have been issued to the law-abiding citizens residing there.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That looks like infringement to me! Unfortunately the result of these laws will be more guns in the hands of those who do not follow the law and fewer guns in the hands of those who do follow the law. That is not the way to lower the crime rate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
