Glad you're here! This makes me proud to be a Californian. We've gotta start SOMEWHERE with sensible gun restrictions. SOMEWHERE!!!!! I'm sure this will be fought, because the bad guys (and YES. I consider them bad guys. My opinion, but there you are) will fight ANYTHING along these lines that makes sense to the rest of us. I just hope it stands. I think we need more sensible gun restrictions and regulations. NOT fewer. Seems to me that we have the problems we do BECAUSE we don't have enough sensible gun restrictions and regulations on the books.
