Ok.

Most people shooting 1K with a .308 will run the 175 SMK or similar bullets or even the 155 class bullets.

We here in California would appreciate a little prayer for our gun rights... It's been a bad week, and shaping up to be a terrible 2014...

The Bill of Rights means nothing to them.

SACRAMENTO -- With summer recess behind them and the legislative session's five-week homestretch ahead, state lawmakers face a fusillade of gun-control bills that could move California far beyond what any other state has enacted...


Where gun bills stand
Senate Bill 374 by state Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, bans all semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines and retroactively requires ownership records for all guns. It passed the state Senate 23-15 on May 29 and will be heard Tuesday by the Assembly Public Safety Committee.
Senate Bill 53 by state Sen. Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, requires a background check for all ammunition purchases and licenses for all sellers. It passed the state Senate 23-15 on May 29 and is now pending in the Assembly Appropriations Committee.
Senate Bill 47 by state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, prohibits so-called bullet buttons and other devices used to circumvent the state’s assault-weapons ban and allow fast reloading. It passed the state Senate 23-15 on May 29 and is to be heard Tuesday by the Assembly Public Safety.
Senate Bill 396 by state Sen. Loni Hancock, D-Berkeley, outlaws magazines holding more than 10 rounds, even those that were grandfathered in under the state’s assault-weapons law. It passed the state Senate 25-14 on May 29 and is to be heard Tuesday by the Assembly Public Safety.
Assembly Bill 48 by Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, creates a state database to track all ammo purchases and makes it illegal to build your own high-capacity magazines. It passed the Assembly 46-26 on May 29 and is to be heard Monday by Senate Appropriations.
Assembly Bill 187 by Assemblymen Rob Bonta, D-Oakland, and Roger Dickinson, D-Sacramento, levies 10 percent tax on all ammo to benefit crime-prevention and mental-health services for children. It is languishing in Assembly Appropriations’ suspense file.
Assembly Bill 711 by Assemblyman Anthony Rendon, D-South Gate, would ban use of lead ammunition by California hunters. It passed the Assembly 44-21 on May 16 and is now languishing in state Senate Appropriations’ suspense file.

Yeah we took a beating today but that's what I expected.

If you aren't already a member, consider joining Calguns dot net. It's a great forum focused on California and our specific issues.

Already part, although I don't say much. They got some good people there, but a large majority of them are... well let's just face it, it's a forum A lot of them don't know how to express themselves in a way that would be effective in convincing an undecided person to go pro-gun, much less an anti, you know?

Sorry had to. But that really sucks for all of you.

It's been time. Unfortunately I have been unsuccessful finding a comparable job/salary in an area I want to live. Part of me wants to stay and fight, but the other part of me understands that, short of a landmark SCOTUS ruling, there will be no victory here for us.

Wait time would be around 8 months
