Unless a fundamental shift in the make up of the CA legislature somehow magically takes place... given the political party demongraphics in this state, I'm not holding my breath for any improvement to happen in the near future.

They've also become smarter in their tactics and have also started concentrating their attentions away from the gun and onto things like ammo, not protected by the 2nd Amendment. "Sure... have your guns, but we'll turn them into paper weights by restricting the **** out of ammo sales, gun stores, shooting ranges, safety requirements, etc, etc, etc.

Ever look at a Sportsman Guide catalog, with all of the footnotes on shipping restrictions on items? Seems like 80% of firearm's related items carries a "can not ship to CA" footnote.
