It should be noted that America is a Constitutional republic, not a democracy, and California is still part of that republic. This makes the California state government literally a criminal gang, that is, a group of people who work together to break the law. They have no legal authority to do what they are doing. But they get away with it because of a profound lack of will of the Court to do its sworn duty in defending the law.
Those who did not vote for the criminal gang do not deserve to live under its thumb. Not in America. According to American law the majority is limited in what it can do, and infringing on the right to be armed is a clear and undeniable part of that law.
That is really some sick ****. I live in Just 9 miles east of the Colorado river. From my house, I can see 50 miles into California. We are the same country and share the same constitution. Here on the east side of the river, I can enter a gun store, buy ANYTHING, and leave the store with it in just a few minutes. The guns in my safe are common and very legal here in Arizona, yet crossing the river 9 miles west, my guns would get me 400 years in prison.
I moved to Arizona about two years ago from Nebraska, and this state obeying the law written in the Constitution was one of the reasons. But AZCDL tells us that they are finding it harder and harder to hold the line because the liberal cult (my word, not theirs) is gaining ground here. This is generally assumed to be because so many refugees are streaming in here from third world countries like California and they bring their failed politics with them.
I considered Kingman and Laughlin but decided it's just too damn hot at those low elevations so I decided on a town at 5000 feet more in the center of the state. But I think I would have liked those places too; they seemed to have a lot going for them.
I give it much thought, but I have great difficulty understanding when and why California left the rails. It sounds like California is run by Larry, Moe and Curley Joe.
In her book
Adios America Ann Coulter answers this question. As I assume you know, after our immigration laws were changed by traitors in 1965 we have been bringing in a million third world poor a year through legal immigration; these vote overwhelmingly liberal generation after generation. Since the strategy got underway in the early 70s our country has increased by about a third, roughly a hundred million, and most of that increase has been in the form of immigration from the third world. This is the single biggest reason for America's shift to the left.
California gets a disproportionate amount of this demographic change, and that's why it has the marxist, anti-freedom government it has. But since the influx of marxist voters is nationwide, California is a window into America's future if this strategy of political war remains on track.
In time Texas will fall to the liberal cult for the same reason California fell, and when Texas falls, America will fall. The electoral college will no longer keep the liberal cult from having absolute control over the federal government. The numbers simply do not lie. And this fall seems likely to happen within the next few election cycles at most.
This is important to understand, because leaving California will only provide temporary protection from the Moe, Larry, and Curly Joe you refer to. Once Texas falls, those clowns will control the federal government and the Court. The Constitution will no longer be the barrier between America and tyranny it was written to be; it will become a tool of the tyrant instead.
That makes stopping and reversing this strategy of political war the critical path to keeping our right to be armed, and all of our other freedoms.
