In short, little or nothing has changed in Kalifornia as far as gun legislation is concerned. Until Diane Feinstein and her kind are either voted out (slim chance) or die/retire (we can only hope), it will not change.

The second amendment still lives (weakly) in Kalifornia, as long as you have enough time and money to prevail against the bureaucratic obstacles. For instance if you -- god forbid -- want to legally acquire two handguns here, it takes at least 40-50 days on top of any shipping/logistical lead time. Some products require a FFL to acquire and some are just plain unobtainium legally, I think.

Personally, I am 100% in favor of REASONABLE gun manufacture and ownership regulations. Unfortunately, the 1994 Clinton AWB was a POS piece of legislature, as were/are several others on the books. It was a weak law, with no measurable benefit, and no rational reason to be renewed as written.

Worst of all, any event like today's '94 AWB "sunset" is fuel for the fanatical liberals' disinformation machine. I would guess that more than half of the mass-media reports on this topic have been blatantly erroneous or deliberately misleading. That is the real crime.
