SACRAMENTO -- State lawmakers late Thursday sent Gov. Jerry Brown bills that would outlaw the sale of rifles with detachable magazines and expand the list of crimes that result in a 10-year ban on possessing firearms.
Thursday’s action follows the approval of nine other gun control bills earlier in the week in a state that already had some of the toughest restrictions in the nation.

I say great news. Why exactly does anyone need to own a semiautomatic rifle. Is this just fear that they are going to take away all your guns or is there some legitimate need for a gun like this that I am unaware of?
When I was younger, I always wanted to visit Cali. Cruise Sunset in my Monte Carlo, get tatted at the place Crue does.
Hit the Wiskey for a drink.
Now, I couldnt care less if it fell into the ocean.

Yes, there is some legitimate need for a gun like this you are unaware of.
They are wonderful for taking down a deer, when the first shot didn't do it.
Are you being sarcastic?
Like what? And by legitimate I mean it can not be done using a different weapon that is not as dangerous.
No. There are times when a hunter doesn't take the deer down with the first shot. A semi-automatic comes in pretty handy when that happens.

Unfortunately, anti-gun sentiment is all about emotion, rather than logic, which makes it rather difficult to debate.

Hmmm. So in your mind what type of gun would be less dangerous?
To be honest, I'm not arrogant enough to believe anything I write would change your position. The debate has been long and hard fought, and I don't think for a minute my words would be any more profound than others that have been posted before.

Bad analogies....cars, washing machines, TV....are not designed to kill.Why does anyone need to own a car that can exceed the maximum legal speed limit? Why does anyone need an automatic clothes washing/drying machine? Why does anyone need a TV screen larger than 20"? If there is no need for them then why exempt local police and security agents - do they face different criminal threats?
I would say just the opposite. The anti-reasonable regulation crowd is so ultra paranoid that the govment is coming to take their guns that they are completely irrational. If they could control their emotions for 5 minutes they would see that not every regulation is leading to an all out ban.

Show me in the Bill of Rights the line that determines what type of guns we can own.I say great news. Why exactly does anyone need to own a semiautomatic rifle.

I see, so the long and ever growing list of "cant's", "not allowed's", and "illegal to possess" is not leading to an all out ban.
Forgive me if I reject your logic in the face of reality.
That is not reality. It is what you FEAR will happen. And if you look back through our history and all the irrational fears people attempted to use to stop progress none of them were ever realized.

I am not anti gun. I do however, support gun control. I think limits are necessary. I am pretty fact based, despite the consensus from Cons on this site, in my positions. You know BTW, when you go into a discussion and tell me I am a waste of time to talk to without ever having had a discussion it makes you appear more emotional then me. This is our first exchange....isn't it.
