Medley of the Absurd and of Dispair

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
 
   One does not take particular glee in the following material, but it must be entered in case the world ends and there needs to be a record that such things ever occurred.
 
     The number of "navigators" who will help the hapless move through those things best voted for and not read who are presently awaiting arrest, trial, or who have served time recently?  Priceless.   I mean, numerous.  And, glory be, they will be working within the precincts of the Internal Revenue Service and will have access to any and all Americans private data. 
      These ACORN field-worker types, and perhaps veterans with said august community organising fame, are numerous within the ranks of those who will be standing by to help people select the right enrollment for their free medical services.  They will, ostensibly, show those who are so stupid that they cannot "navigate" an insurance alternative that 86% of the American populace seemed to be able to do, without assistance a long time ago.   Like maybe a few weeks ago.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
 
 
     But take faith.   Fear not.  I bring to you glad tidings. For unto you this day is born a system of free medical services that will reduce your medical bills by over 2,500 USD per year.   And, if you want to keep your doctor you can keep him/her.
     The thing is, however, that your doctor does not want to keep you  if you choose to be an Obamacararasite.   The money is there, it is just that the simple record keeping for each Obamacarasite will require almost two hours of processing per visit.  Each patient visit and set of actions must be recorded in very precise, computer-entered, backed-up, ready for armed IRS agents to come in and review without warrants or even suspicion of nefarious activity on the part of the doctor.
     Fifty patients in the office per day?   One hundred hours of meticulous data entry and specific analysis along with diagnosis,  prescription, and condition updates.   For an office seeing that number of patients per day it will require at  $22.50 / hour a total of 2,250 USD per day in salaries, not for medical service but for government-style records keeping.   It will require 12 - 14 new employees in each office....and not part-time employees.
     It simply cannot be done.  And Obama does not give a bucket of warm spit.  If anything, he revels in the destruction.  It is a nightmare.  There will come a time, if the elitists have their way, that all Americans will be forced into the single payer system, and only Hillary will have private medical service.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
      While negotiating my way around the discarded and ubiquitous disposable diapers that populate the parking lot of the United States Postal Service installation in our little idyllic village on the Rio Grande, it brought to mind the number of disposable diapers that I had managed to miss the last time we had to make a run to the grocery store.   Normally El Gringo Viejo drives about four miles to a HEB Deluxe in another nearby village so as to avoid the necessity of having to do a Texas version of the Bolshoi in order to make it to the front door of the store.
    It is the same folk who cheerfully take out their "Lone Star Card" when it comes time to pay for their bounteously endowed grocery carts...filled with things that should not be eaten by people who obviously have no "need to feed" and who have 3rd grader children who weigh more than El Gringo Viejo who is 6'2" tall.

Grocery Carts
 are suddenly abandoned when service
to card accountable computers was suddenly
restored.  Carts like this, by the thousands,
are, each one, prima facie evidence of a
theft in progress.  Given the least chance
to pillage and steal, food stampers cannot
resist the temptation to steal what they
are already stealing from the producing
sector.   No self-respect...?  Criminality
always follows.
 
     A "burn down the bakery" moment occurred this last week in various places throughout the United States.   For a few minutes or hours,  a "computer glitch" affected food stamp "credit cards" in such a way that the limits could not be determined.  So, not wanting to start a "food fight" so to speak, and knowing the nature of the clientele in terms of things such as reason and temperament, many stores just elected to allow the parasites to "buy" as much as they wished.   Many decided to allow the people to buy anything....most tried to limit the indulgence to comestibles.
     A few stores...not just on Drudge....have been reported to have been stripped.   Others lost almost everything on the shelves and meat departments.   When suddenly accounting services were restored, people began running for the door with or without their carts,  carts were strewn some completely laden, others overturned, some were left in the aisles of the stores piled higher than the "pusher" could see to navigate.
 
    It was a string of scenes that would give joy to the heart and warm the cockles of that heart of any self-respecting community organiser.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
The split tiles are very
 evident on the"Castillo"
(gate post), and the roof
of the Quinta Tesoro de la
Sierra Madre.   They can
also be seen as décor for
the top of our rock fence.
The phone rang yesterday and it was Alvaro calling up from the Quinta.  We have been repairing the roof of our little hideaway after the massive rains of the past month.   We knew that we had chaff blockage of the run-off that is channelled over the split tiles that one commonly finds on older homes in Mexico...a bit of Spain and Italy that will probably never die.   When we built the place, it was something we wanted for the effect and the simplicity of repair.
    Repairs were necessary, but Alvaro said that we only lost "about 60".  Sixty is a "pretty cool hand" when the roof has about 10,000 Spanish split tiles.
Almost all the repairs have been made, although we shall have to begin to replace a lot of the cane "fronting" of the ceiling.  Some of the cane just gave up the ghost after being saturated over and over again during the six week period.   But, we shall finish what needs to be done, and accept the things we cannot change, as in the gardens down below towards the Rio Corona's banks, and "get on with la vida no tan loca". 
 
More later.   We really appreciate your attention, and we are hoping that the recent rains in the  Central and North parts of the Republic of Texas were only beneficial and not damaging in any way.

Texian Withdrawal from the American Union? Even the elites are whispering nervously....



 CORRECTED MAP, WITH COMPUTER ENHANCEMENT AND SATELLITE
CONFIRMATION OF THE TRUE GEOGRAPHIC RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN
TEXAS AND CERTAIN OF THE SEMI-INHABITABLE REGIONS OFTHE
AMERICAN UNION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   The following inclusion is attributed to Patrick Buchannan, a floating, free-spirit of and on the right.   With few exceptions, he tends to be a reasonable and studied thinker and commentator.  It is true that he is one of the "inside the beltway" voices, but the pinkos really do not like him.   He is too "rough cut" or "working class" to be truly welcomed at the Fronde du Palme saloon in Georgetown, and he goes to a barber for a haircut instead of a stylist.  He might even ruin the barbeque in the Hamptons by showing up wearing a green pullover during the Autumn....when everyone knows that brown, gold, yellow, and maroon are permitted exclusively.

     Some of these examples Mr. Pat includes in the article below-included are known.  Others might surprise even the informed OROG.  But, they are out there.  And, Texas's situation is even more tenable because we are not in the position of secession. Ours can and should be a simple, amicable withdrawal.  We should even be able to receive a payout of Texian payments into the American Social Security system, and a cessation of claims against that Ponzi Scheme, thereby liberating the Americans to use the funds for whatever purpose they might will.   The money, once crossing onto Texas soil, would then be liberated and assigned to each Social Security recipient who has been manumitted from his slavery to the American central government.   Each recipient would become the owner of his/her own account, with microscopically minimal Republic of Texas involvement.

     It is doubtful that Mr. Pat would endorse the notion of Texas or any other State in the American Union leaving that Union under any condition, save perhaps for California.  But he has, perhaps inadvertently, stumble into a mine-field of possibilities, great and small, that can be used by Texas Nationalists as examples of orderly withdrawal from a political union.

In the last decade of the 20th century, as the Soviet Empire disintegrated, so, too, did that prison house of nations, the USSR.
Out of the decomposing carcass came Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Moldova, all in Europe; Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan in the Caucasus; and Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan in Central Asia.


Transnistria then broke free of Moldova, and Abkhazia and South Ossetia fought free of Georgia.
Yugoslavia dissolved far more violently into the nations of Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Macedonia and Kosovo.
The Slovaks seceded from Czechoslovakia. Yet a Europe that plunged straight to war after the last breakup of Czechoslovakia in 1938 and 1939 this time only yawned. Let them go, all agreed.
The spirit of secession, the desire of peoples to sever ties to nations to which they have belonged for generations, sometimes for centuries, and to seek out their own kind, is a spreading phenomenon.
Scotland is moving toward a referendum on independence from England, three centuries after the Acts of Union. Catalonia pushes to be free of Madrid. Milanese and Venetians see themselves as a European people apart from Sicilians, Neapolitans and Romans.
Dutch-speaking Flanders wants to cut loose of French-speaking Wallonia in Belgium. Francophone Quebec, with immigrants from Asia and the Third World tilting the balance in favor of union, appears to have lost its historic moment to secede from Canada.
What are the forces pulling nations apart? Ethnicity, culture, history and language – but now also economics. And separatist and secessionist movements are cropping up here in the United States.
While many red state Americans are moving away from blue state America, seeking kindred souls among whom to live, those who love where they live but not those who rule them are seeking to secede.
The five counties of western Maryland – Garrett, Allegheny, Washington, Frederick and Carroll, which have more in common with West Virginia and wish to be rid of Baltimore and free of Annapolis, are talking secession.
The issues driving secession in Maryland are gun control, high taxes, energy policy, homosexual marriage and immigration.
Scott Strzelczyk, who lives in the town of Windsor in Carroll County and leads the Western Maryland Initiative, argues: “If you have a long list of grievances, and it’s been going on for decades, and you can’t get it resolved, ultimately [secession] is what you have to do.”
And there is precedent. Four of our 50 states – Maine, Vermont, Kentucky, West Virginia – were born out of other states.
Ten northern counties of Colorado are this November holding non-binding referenda to prepare a future secession from Denver and the creation of America’s 51st state.
Nine of the 10 Colorado counties talking secession and a new state, writes Reid Wilson of the Washington Post – Cheyenne, Kit Carson, Logan, Morgan, Phillips, Sedgwick, Washington, Weld and Yuma – all gave more than 62 percent of their votes to Mitt Romney. Five of these 10 counties gave Romney more than 75 percent of their vote.
Their issues with the Denver legislature: A new gun control law that triggered a voter recall of two Democratic state senators, state restrictions on oil exploration and the Colorado legislature’s party-line vote in support of gay marriage.
Scott Strzelczyk of the Western Maryland Initiative talks about seceding from the rest of the state.

In California, which many have long believed should be split in two, the northern counties of Modoc and Siskiyou on the Oregon border are talking secession – and then union in a new state called Jefferson.
“California is essentially ungovernable in its present size,” says Mark Baird of the Jefferson Declaration Committee. Baird hopes to attract a dozen counties to join together before petitioning the state to secede.
Like the western Maryland and northern Colorado counties, the northern California counties are conservative, small town, rural and have little in common with San Francisco or Los Angeles, or Sacramento, where Republicans hold not one statewide office and are outnumbered better than 2-1 in both houses of the state legislature.
Folks on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, bordered by Wisconsin and the Great Lakes, which is connected to lower Michigan by a bridge, have long dreamed of a separate state called Superior. The UP has little in common with Lansing and nothing with Detroit.
While the folks in western Maryland, northern Colorado, northern California and on the Upper Peninsula might be described as red state secessionists, in Vermont the secessionists seem of the populist left. The Montpelier Manifesto of the Second Vermont Republic concludes:
“Citizens, lend your names to this manifesto and join in the honorable task of rejecting the immoral, corrupt, decaying, dying, failing American Empire and seeking its rapid and peaceful dissolution before it takes us all down with it.”
This sort of intemperate language may be found in Thomas Jefferson’s indictment of George III. If America does not get its fiscal house in order, and another Great Recession hits or our elites dragoon us into another imperial war, we will likely hear more of such talk.

Rules of the Alinsky Game - Out in full force

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
     Saul Alinsky is that wondrous bottomless pit of inspiration.  Just a bit of re-read, and we know exactly every step Barack Hussein Obama, the Obsolete Media, the Soros Zombies, and the Annenberg Foundation types are going to do.  The problem We,  as the undesirable Republicans, must recognise is that the Real Republicans do not wish to accept the predictability of Obama's actions based upon the Alinsky formula for "revolution".   Oddly, the Real Republicans practice a variation of the Alinsky formula in their own approach to governance and the political process.




File:Narrenschiff Titelblatt.jpg
The Fool Mirror - The Wholesale
Ship of Fools
1549 - Sebastian Brant's lament

Do not include Ted Cruz, Mike Lee
or Dr. Carson as those inscribed
upon the list of passengers.
 
 
    How is that, one might ask?  It is in the manner by which they choose to isolate and ridicule anyone who speaks the truth about the condition of the Republic and the processes that have mired it into the Autobahn of Perdition...and there seem to be no exits from that highway.   Ted Cruz, for instance, has nothing to do with the ridiculous  state of the finances of the Republic.  He has had nothing to do with it, and he bears no fault for it.  But, of course, he must be blamed for the present predicament, caused by Barack Hussein Obama, and he must be ridiculed for being stupid and ignorant.   It is such an odd characterisation 0f a person who is obviously both extremely intelligent and learned.
 
     The 17,000,000,000,000 USD debt has been accrued by pleasant idiots grinningly going along with deranged Keynesians,  Marxists, and Socialist Utopians in the quest to spend our entire passenger list on the Ship of Fools into bliss, comfort, and ecstasy.  The pleasant idiots are the RRR's, who are more commonly knows as the Reasonable Republican RINOs.  Their motto is, "We have to be reasonable here, and work for a compromise.   That way we shall all fall off the edge of the Earth six days later than that for  which the Democrats have us scheduled."
 
     Other pleasant idiots are "moderate" members of the electorate who say things like, "Both sides have a lot of the blame.  They should all get together and do what's best for the country."   Anyone who has ever said that, or any variation of such a statement, should be led away to the Soylent Research Institution for Hope and Change.  People who say such things are dully unaware that the Democrat cabal is totally dedicated to "fundamentally transforming" the nation into a "democratic socialist republic".  They are also blissfully unaware of what such a thing as a "democratic socialist republic" is.   The Democrat leadership knows what a "democratic socialist republic" is, but the pleasant lady having her pedicure at Maggie's Beauty Parlour and Cupcake Emporium does not deal in these matters.  Her "hope'' is that someone will "changes their minds" and "solve the problems" like she has to do.  She has to take her Social Security Check and decide if she is going to buy 200 USD of lottery tickets or take the overnight tour to Injun Joe's Barnacle Pirates Casino Den two hundred miles by charter bus over in the other State for 20 USD, and gamble 180 USD on the slots and lines.
     College students do better than this lady because they "just know" that Obama cares more about them than that stupid meany Fred Cruise. They know because it just a thing about all that stuff that everybody always knows all the time because my professor showed us how the thing is that everybody is getting the shaft because all the rich people aren't paying any taxes and the little people get stuck with it and all the racism and everything.
 
     There are many and sundry useful, pleasant idiots who smilingly, or even in serious tones, further the notion that a solution to the economic mess created by leftism, accommodation, and  compromise is to spend more money than last year on Head Start because it is the only and last first chance to make up for hundreds if not thousands of years of racism, marginalisation, and discrimination.  It makes no difference that the program shows no evidence of doing anything more than developing the participants' world view to include the notion that food comes from government, and that there is no need to provide for oneself any of the basic requirements for a happy, fulfilling life.
     Repeat the above paragraph by the formula Solyndra X subsidies X entitlements X bureaucracy X tax-tax X spend-spend X elect-elect and one finds the mathematical formulae from Hell.  One also finds the path to destruction of a Republic.  Any republic....any monarchy.  The socialist countries are mired in the muck anyway, so they receive a de facto inclusion.
 
 
    The Alinskyites are practitioners of another of the great communist negotiation practices.   It is simply and best described thusly:
 
           As we enter into these negotiations, the first rule shall be that what is yours is negotiable and what is ours is not.   It is a fair starting point.
 
     And if the OROGs will be so kind to note, the minions of Obama - Soros have made it clear that if the Republicans first give Obama everything he demands, he will then be willing to "listen" to the Republicans with reference to any of their petty, grovelling pleas for a crumb under some table in the servants' quarters.   That is what marxists call negotiation.   They also call "moderate, reasonable, Republicans".....useful idiots.
 
    Ted Cruz and Mike Lee and Dr. Carson are not extremists or stupid or mean-spirited.  They are truthful men who know and understand natural law.   Water flows downhill because of gravity.  People who are paid for not working become lazy, shiftless, and dangerous to themselves and others.  Business that produce for payment by subsidy rot from the inside.  Un-natural practices result, naturally, in horrid diseases. 
 
Fodder for thought as we trundle to the Gulag.

Asking "Who?" and asking "How?" Are you all kidding?

                                                                  
THE LATEST SCANDAL OOZES OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE:
 
 
     Pundits  and wise ones are asking one to the other, "How could something like this happen?"   They also ask the correlative, "Who was in charge of this, and why did he (or they) not intervene?"
 
 
     The notion that a given number of American uniformed personnel has been killed in action and there might be a breakdown concerning the funereal attentions along with the established remuneration pertaining to those fallen and their families is very improbable.   The entire matter is far too coincidental to be anything but a purposeful attempt, planned well in advance, to permit Obama to  announce to the people of the United States that the President is pained by the acts of the Republican extremists in the House of Representatives.   He regrets that by shutting down the government, the Republicans have left these heroes in a cold-locker in Kabul and their families stuck at home, without the funds to come and receive their departed and take them home for burial.
     It is the next act in a play that includes closing a War Memorial to the visitation by nonagenarians of a memorial that commemorates a War in which they fought over 70 years ago.
     And, while the War Memorial is closed, there is the simultaneous allowance of the use of the Mall by illegal aliens....and a big "Thank You!" shout out to Father Obamaham from Nancy Palooza....who nervously adds a bit of a note of appreciation that Father Obamaham has given his permission to "let" the Veterans visit the World War II Memorial as well.  The world already knew that the Veterans had forced their right of access on Obama, and Obama backed down, as do all bullies and cowards when confronted by those in the right. 
    These acts of and by Obama are of a lower form or class of human who would order the White House closed to visitations by tourists.....because of the "Republican Sequestration"....and then also blame his own Secret Service detail for the closure....as if that lower form of human life ( the president) would think we would believe that he does not order such actions.
 
     It is the nature of the beast.  It is the quest of the cabal of the Soros - Ayers - Chicago Mob - Valerie Jarrett "personalities" that we have chosen to our peril as our governors.   The White House is under the control of nihilistic sadistic marxists and criminal types who desire the Death of America. 
 
 


Looks like a real winner..
"Kill all the rich people!  Bring the revolution home!
Kill your parents!  When a pig gets iced,
 that's a good thing!"
One of the great, inspirational statements
from community organiser
friend of Barack Hussein
 Obama.
Ayers only regret about his murderous "revolutionary"
days is that he did not do more.  He walked on a
murder charge, via a legal technicality.
He is now a university professor
dedicated to turning America
red, and Israel dead.
Still.


     It would be well to consider that the administration decided to-day to cut back on Egyptian military aid.  This is a form of punishment because of the fact that the Egyptian Army deposed Obama's preferred head of government of Egypt....Mohammed Morsi....who also happens to be the head of the Muslim Brotherhood.   The Muslim Brotherhood is involved in a serpents' dance to the death that involves Al Qaida, Hezbollah, Hamas, and several score un-affiliated and semi-interrelated Muslim nut-case World - Caliphate loons.  With luck they will all kill each other before they kill all the remaining human population of the Earth.

One by one, even the sophisticated media is meandering off the reservation. First it was the Economist last March, daring to notice that the prophesies of doom weren't being fulfilled and that the data shows we are about to fall out of the 95 percent confidence level of the prediction from Settled Science.

Now it's Der Spiegel, the bien-pensant magazine of
mainstream German thought.

In the story, Der Spiegel looks at the unpredicted "pause" in global temperatures and investigates the internecine fight between researchers who want to acknowledge this empirical truth and those who do not. It concludes by asking:
The researchers' problem: Their climate models should have been able to predict the sudden flattening in the temperature curve. Offering explanations after the fact for why temperatures haven't increased in so long only serves to raise doubts as to how reliable the forecasts really are.

This is an astonishing reversal. Time was, the "climate change" movement was one of those unstoppable political forces which was going to remake American politics. Today, even the Europeans are beginning to have second thoughts.

It's yet another reminder that in politics, nothing is foreordained.

    One is moved to suggest that Der Spiegel should have said....."...Their climate models should have been able to predict the sudden flattening of the Earth."

      One of the main reasons this writer continues to be loyal to the notion that the Republic of Texas must shuck off its disguise as a sister State within the American Union and re-establish its independence as it did with Mexico in 1836 is because of these events of these past days.   The backdrop of it all is the looming disaster being brought on by the printing  of 85 billion dollars per month by the Federal Reserve in order to prop up a churlish poseur who cannot even act as if he is playing the role of a real live president.   And, consider that he has a supporting cast of ghouls, lackeys, thugs, and "journalists" that any real live tin-horn dictator would envy.

     Allow a very small point be made to prove a very large point.   The other day, down here on the frontier with Mexico, an apprehension was made by a local police officer in a small town near Brownsville.   The fellow who was detained and cuffed and hauled off was an illegal alien with an outstanding warrant and even a set of warrants out of Mexico.
    All Texas police officers, upon a stop to interrogate, request identification, by the way.  Illegal aliens are always detained and turned over to immigration officers who are associated with the central government's Department of Homeland Security.   This individual was dealt with in that manner.
    What is of interest is that Gary Holder, the pitiful, mendacious, corrupt, and useless Attorney General who befits an administration such as the Obama regime, files lawsuits against the State of Arizona and others to prohibit local police officers from detaining illegal aliens and/or even inquiring concerning the legal status of a detained person.
     But, as stated in the news of the day in the area of concern near Brownsville, it was pointed out that the officer detaining the illegal alien with warrants on two sides of the border was being subsidised by a central government funded program that re-enforces patrol efforts by local and State officers, accentuating the arrest and detention of illegal aliens.

     Yes, we know that it might even require a re-reading of the above.   That for which Holder sues one State, he subsidises another for essentially the same activity.   It is called grandstanding.  This particular contradiction is designed for the sake of the Obsolete Press to have an issue so as to endorse Obama and to confuse an electorate endowed with limited intellectual discernment.   It allows Obama and Holder to beat up on Arpaio in Phoenix, while buying votes of local politicians in Small Town, Wherever.

    This set of facts, coupled up with the debt, the deficit, the foreign policy and military lunacy, the unwillingness to adhere to Constitutional precepts that founded the United States of America, just keep reminding a fellow that  we probably are already beyond recovery as a viable American Union.   Texas, with all it peculiarities, is much more viable, even with the loons within our ranks.

It is all a heavy weight on the soul.

An appeal from the lost Western Regions, sent to El Zorro

While this is not our fight, in a larger sense, it is our fight.  The anti-firearm forces who want to create a disarmed Utopian society know that if they can crimp substantially the ownership and use of firearms in California, it will have a significant impact on the overall American market.   Fees, penalties, arbitrary interpretations, imprisonment, annual possession taxes, inheritance suspension, and the cascade of interference that totalitarians rely upon to harass the innocent.   The never-ending effort to turn America pink will never end.   That's probably why they call it "never-ending".    


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


CONTACT GOVERNOR BROWN TODAY!!
 
This year the California Legislature passed the most restrictive collection of anti-gun laws in decades ALL DESIGNED TO END GUN OWNERSHIP IN CALIFORNIA!!
 
Our last chance to stop these laws before having to spend millions to fight them in court for years is for Governor Brown to veto them. Governor Brown needs to be reminded that he has millions of constituents that are law-abiding gun owners, sportsmen and Second Amendment supporters and that Californians do not support outrageous anti-gun and anti-hunting legislation, like those in New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Connecticut or worse.
 
If we do not stop these bills NOW our children will never know the fundamental rights of self defense, hunting, self reliance and private ownership of firearms nor the freedoms this Country was founded on.
 
Below are the anti-gun/anti-hunting bills you need to call, fax AND e-mail and urge Governor Brown to VETO.
 
Governor Brown can be reached at:
Phone: (916) 445-2841
Fax: (916) 558-3160
 
SB374 - Bans the future sale or transfer of and classifies ALL semi-automatic firearms with a detachable magazine or holding more than ten rounds of ammunition as "assault weapons." Continued legal possession requires that you REGISTER and pay a FEE (TAX) on ALL your semi-autos newly classified as “assault weapons.”
 
AB711 - Makes California the first state to prohibit the use of all lead ammunition for hunting.
 
AB48 - Bans the sale of parts and repair kits capable of creating or converting a magazine to a capacity to hold greater than ten rounds.
 
AB169 - Limits the sale/transfer of all lawfully firearms that were never, or are no longer, on the California roster of approved handguns to two a year and redefines the technical provisions of single shot pistols.

SB567 - Redefines shotguns to include any long gun with a rifled bore or a smooth bore, regardless of whether it is designed to be fired from the shoulder and bans the sale of shotguns with the revised definitions that have a revolving cylinder, and requires registration of these currently owned shotguns.
 
SB683 - Expands California’s Handgun Safety Certificate requirement to apply to all firearms, and prohibits anyone from purchasing or transferring any firearm without a firearm safety certificate.
 
SB755 - Expands the list of persons prohibited from owning a firearm, including persons who have operated cars and boats while they are impaired commonly referred to as DUI.

    This was forwarded from California to El Zorro and then around the Republic of Texas through the network of happy subversives here. It might be resented by Governor Moon Beam should we dabble in his zone of prerogative, but....then again....who cares here?
