I was just chatting on Twitter last night with someone in California about the injunction. He said he was headed to Reno, Nevada after work today to buy some 1000 round cases of Mk 262 5.56 to take advantage of the injunction before the case gets to the 9th Circuit who'll probably reinstate the law.
Thats a GREAT way around that fact that (apparently) most Cali FFL's are still following the law , despite it being struck down.
Nothing illegal in that move for one week.
If I still lived in California, that’s exactly what I’d do anyway, regardless of the law. That law is unconstitutional, and I have no moral obligation to obey it. In fact, I have a moral obligation to defy it. Anybody who’s ever driven from Las Vegas to Los Angeles knows that 100s of thousands of vehicles travel I-15 every single day between Nevada and California. There is no law enforcement capability to shut the whole interstate down and search
EVERY single vehicle on that highway. It just can’t be done without completely eliminating 1-15 as a part of the
FEDERAL interstate highway system.....something which even the commies in DC wouldn’t support. It’s just too important a part of the transportation infrastructure to shut it down.
Furthermore, I-15 is far from the only way into SoCal from Nevada. There are lots of little backroads too.
Even a little Yugo can carry several 1000-round cases of ammo in the back. A midsized SUV like my 4Runner could triple that amount. And with heavy duty suspension, you could even eliminate the visual
appearance of carrying great weight in your vehicle....not to mention how much I could stuff into my innocent appearing travel trailer. Looking old and harmless has its benefits.
Effective enforcement is, for all practical purposes, impossible. Period. I’d break that law every chance I got. The only REAL consideration for individual California shooters is whether or not they think the juice is worth the squeeze. For me, it would be. In fact, I’d make sure to leave enough room in the vehicle to bring back a case of 30-round PMAGs with each trip too.
Civil disobedience is a duty in the face of injustice.
There’s NO reason for California gun owners NOT to violate this unconstitutional law, other than simple fear....fear of being caught. But there’s also every reason to fight it by any means necessary—lawfully AND unlawfully. The famous Underground Railroad
was illegal, but it was also
the right thing to do. Gun owners in California have a choice: they can either lay down before oppression, or they can give the commies the finger and ignore their fascist laws .... and they can do it with near total impunity if they are smart about it.
