bigdaddyhatty 65 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) I just became aware of the inhumane manner in which some of our underprivileged Californian brethren are treating weapons. I wanted to post these pictures to raise awareness the lengths people will go to get around ridiculous legislation. These are “featureless rifles” ones that don’t have any of the evil features of an "assault weapon". Notice the lack of pistol grips. I also learned that few go this rout to comply with law, most install a bullet button to keep the look and feel of a “free state rifle” ß That’s actually what they call an normal weapon that’s available to people in most states. I would like to say I’m not poking fun at California, I just really did find this mind boggling and wanted to let others know what can happen if you let idiots in office.

22_Shooter 1,560 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Yeah, they're ugly. But the way I look at it, is this: Some guys created those stocks, basically as a big giant "FUCK YOU!" to Cali law. "You want to ban certain features? Fine. We'll skirt it, and still have effective (even if ugly) weapons. Go fuck yourself!". ..........and that, is a beautiful thing. For those still in Cali, keep fighting the good fight and in the mean time, legally skirt those bullshit laws as much as you can. 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

patriot 7,197 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 NOT an assault rifle! An assault rifle is a fully automatic rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine, not to be confused with so called assault weapons.[1] Assault rifles are the standard infantry weapons in most modern armies. Assault rifles are categorized in between light machine guns, which are intended more for sustained automatic fire in a light support role, and submachine guns, which fire a pistol cartridge rather than a rifle cartridge. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yee claimed that stocks such as these, as well as bullet buttons, should be illegal because they "violate the intention of the law." The intention of course was to rid California of all military-style rifles. They don't care if the rifles are legal as-is. They will continue to amend the law to chip away until they are all banned, making criminals out of California citizens. Of course Leland Yee is also known to be a fan of whores. Has not stopped his political ambitions or credibility. I was offered to relocate for a job in CA and said no, no way in hell. I flew in on a semi-weekly basis instead.

poolingmyignorance 2,191 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 This instantly brings to mind the orgins of karate in Okinaowa. The Fuedial Emperors forbade farmers/peasants from owning weapons so after years of being raped/robbed by the enforcing samurai soldiers the villagers learned to use farming impliments as effective weapons against the heavily armored sword/spear wielding and offten horse mounted samurai. It's just another example of absolute power being abused, and the will to survive finding a way. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your not going to educate the whole country into the puriest's definition, so you may as well just go with it.

Nobody will argue that the 2nd amendment is for anything other than fighting tyrany by the civilan. Anybody who claims otherwise hasn't read it. Period. Or are lying. By not calling our semi automatic weapons assult weapons we are simply trying to clearify that assult weapons are already heavily regulated and further regulation isn't required because the weapons commerciall availble don't fit that definition.

These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people."
