I agree. If they permit them to manufacture them for public sale you should be allowed to own them. Having said that, I see nothing wrong with the government regulating the manufacture and distribution of weapons designed for mass murder.

the hypocritical part about this particular issue is that right now, retired cops who own these weapons are currently trying to get theirs grandfathered in to be legal. the only reason this one went the way that it has is because of the MJ associated with it.

Cali court of appeals rules on 'morality'

Possessing a semiautomatic “assault weapon” is not only illegal, it's also immoral — at least according to a state appeals court.

I guess that's what we all need in our lives, is the nanny state government telling us whats good and bad for us. governments must be made of superhumans who know better than us who vote for them.


and before anyone gets all uppity about the ruling, this court also said growing pot is immoral as well.

As for cultivating marijuana, the court noted that it’s a felony punishable by a state prison term, in contrast to possessing pot, which carries a maximum $100 fine for small amounts and up to six months in jail for a larger supply.

Pot-growing has a “potential for trafficking,” and the Legislature has determined that it is “more contemptible than simple possession,” said Justice Victoria Chavez in a 3-0 ruling Feb. 3 that upheld Gabriel’s convictions.

this is a blatant step forward to allow only state regulated growers to provide medicinal marijuana and not home growers who use it for medicinal purposes.

Not sure why you think it's hypocritical, I doubt very much many cops were in favor of it, they like having guns because they know that criminals end up with them either way. I do agree however that this got passed because they tied it to MJ and pushed it through as a "STOP DRUG CARTELS" law.

It is a second amendment debate, as well as an example of a legal body instructing about morality, if they wanted to argue morality they should have gotten Philosophy degrees rather than Legal ones.

In california, most of the southern state cops are wholeheartedly anti-gun....for citizens. they are completely pro-gun when it comes to them and theirs.
