Gun control in CA

If you have the means to leave California, you might as well at this point. It's a lost cause, it is politically indistinguishable from Canada when it comes to civil liberties, particularly gun rights.

Amen, joe… I meant to post something similar but never got around to it.
We can yak all we want about CA and it’s bad policies but ultimately, it’s the voters.
I’d almost rather it stay the way it is, and my state find a way to help our loons, which are still in the minority, get out there permanently. We’d be happier here and they’d presumably be happier too.
 
Haha! I think that's what most folks would say javbike ........ Cali is a great place to live, if only not for the "stupid policies". A beautiful state with lots of beautiful beaches, lots of beautiful weather, lots of beautiful drives, lots of beautiful agriculture, all ruined by those 'stupid policies'.

If Cali were governed like Texas, or Arizona, or Florida, or any of probably a couple dozen other conservative states, it would be danged near a paradise. In all seriousness, Cali is a great place for the most part. Unfortunately the state is run/controlled governmentaly by just a few of the bigger, liberal, hot spot metropolitan areas where the populations are a stronghold of liberalism. Much like New York state is governed by the liberal population of NYC. Upstate New York and a vast amount of the rest of the state is beautiful country and reasonably conservative. Similar is Illinois run by the liberal votes in and around Chicago.

Oh well !!! (y)(y)(y)

Texas would be in the same delimma if not for vast reservoirs of rural and small city votes.

Austin, Dallas, Houston and El Paso are blue cities. San Antonio and Ft Worth purple. But Texas is saved by dozens of small cities such as Waco, Tyler, Lubbock, Midland, Amarillo and rural votes that vote overwhelmingly red.

Whereas California is dominated by two metros, mainly the ten million person LA County, and Cook County dominates Illinois, NYC New York etc.

Exactly what I was trying to say and couldn't agree more. And it's sad that a few highly populated areas can dominate an entire state to the point it has in Cali.

And all the more reason to encourage all who chose to move to a state with lesser 'stupid policies' to leave those policies and the politics that caused them behind. Otherwise they would eventually overtake all those "dozens of small cities such as Waco, Tyler, Lubbock, Midland, Amarillo and rural votes that vote overwhelmingly red."

Unfortunately, a (very) large number of the voters leaving those states are not leaving because they perceive the policies are bad. They are leaving because of the costs of those policies. Cost of living appears to be the #1 cause of moving out.
They come to lower cost areas, but continue to vote as they did in Cali.

Very bad medicine, imho.

Going to visit family in California next week. They love my stories of life growing up in Texas and settling in Oklahoma.

California Enacts Ban on Gas-Powered Lawn Mowers, Leaf Blowers

State claims an hour using a gas leaf blower makes as much pollution as driving a 2016 Toyota Camry 1100 miles, so it's electric lawn equipment only after 2024.

What’s next???

What’s next is the polluting residue emissions coming out the barrel of your firearms, Key. So forget the dang leaf blower !!!
Bwahaha (just kidding)

( by the way, if this law spreads I wonder if it’d stop that silly yankee down the street from mowing his lawn, weed-eating and blowing his driveway on Sunday mornings all summer long?? Hmm 🤔…)
