States that are getting screwed.

[never_retreat]

So NY just passed a bunch of garbage, I here there is more coming in CA.
Here is the roundup for NJ that the NRA just sent out.
I don't know if I should be worried or not. My reps are all pro gun so there is no reason to contact them.
I'm just concerned what Christie might do. He has given his thumbs up to gun control in the past, but since his is a big contender for republican in the next election cycle I think he might not be to quick to sign anything that could give him a bad rap.
What do you all think?

State. 
Assembly Bill 3645, sponsored by Representative Louis Greenwald (D-6), along with its companion Senate Bill 2476 would require ammunition sales and transfers be conducted as face-to-face transactions.   This legislation has been referred to Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee

Of course, none of the above proposed legislation will affect lawbreakers.  Gun control has not worked because criminals, by definition, do not obey the law. Your help will be needed this session to prevent law-abiding gun owners from being punished with another round of gun control and overburdened with taxes and fines that will have zero impact on public safety or violent crime.

I don't trust Chrisitie any further than I can see him with regard to guns or gun legislation.  I have no idea what his views are about guns and gun control but I suspect it probably echo's Bloombergs.  They have had a pretty serious crime problem in some of their cities.

[charby]

Pro gun or not, still contact them. Lets them be be reminded how their constituents think.

[Devonai]

Connecticut is considering a mag cap limit and stricter rules on certain cosmetic features.  Senator Blumenthal wants all ammo sales to be recorded and through dealers only.  Since this is ground zero, I imagine at least one of these things will happen.  However, as long as a mag ban grandfathers in existing mags it is unenforceable anyway, since I can just drive to VT or NH and buy undated mags there.

[HankB]

Claiming it's a crime control measure, some want to reinstate the AWB, even though over the course of a decade it had no measurable effect on crime.

Claiming it's a crime control measure, some  want to track ammo sales, even though when we were going thorough this nonsense after GCA '68, it had no measurable effect on crime.

They say one measure of insanity is repeating the same actions while expecting a different result. SO . . . are the proponents insane? Are they simply stupid? Are they merely ignorant?

Or (tinfoil hat time   ) are these merely more steps in a long-term agenda to expand the state and exert more control over every aspect of our lives, since regulating toilet flushes, light bulbs, and Big Gulps isn't enough?

[lee n. field]

Latest I see is Massachusetts is looking at one-gun-a-month, 7 round mag limit (10 grandfathered, turn in your previously grandfathered mags).

[Balog]

Nothing so far that I've heard from WA thankfully.

[lee n. field]

I keep having people ask "how long do we have to buy high cap magazines".    did I miss something?

[Stetson]

State Rep here, Diana Degette, has or will introduce a magazine capacity limit.  It won't do anything but "we have to do something!" has taken over.

[red headed stranger]

Two bills were introduced today in AZ:

SB 1049 would expand the definition of "school" in ARS 13-3102 (Weapons Misconduct) to include post-secondary educational institutions (i.e., colleges and universities).   The proposed laws would make possessing a firearm on post-secondary educational institutions a Class 6 Felony. Under current law it is a misdemeanor to possess a firearm on K-12 school grounds and firearms policy on colleges and universities is controlled by the governing boards of the institution.

 

This looks like an attempt to head off the campus carry bill that is expected this session. 

SB 1050 would outlaw the possession of any magazine or other “feeding device” that holds more than 10 rounds and make their possession a Class 4 Felony.

 

That one is just ridiculous and I can't imagine it having any chance here.

I guess everything I thought I knew about Arizona is just wrong.

[Jamisjockey]

Similar problems as Texas, etc.  Liberals infesting the cities. 

[red headed stranger]

The likelihood of either of them passing is very slim.  They are sponsored by Dems representing places like Tuscon and Urban Phoenix.  Pro-gun reps are still a supermajority here.

Tucson is a plague due to U of A and leftist illegal aliens representing the FSA, but urban Phoenix isn't too bad.  Maybe 50-50.  Arizona is a pretty rocking pro-gun State, with the exception of Tucson.

I think Phoenix is better off than Tucson for a few reasons:

1. No state superuniversity in Phoenix (Tempe has ASU and Tempe gets a bit lefty, but Tempe isn't Phoenix).  The universities in Phoenix-proper are either for-profit (U of Phx, DeVry, Apollo, etc.) and appreciate capitalism, or mission-oriented (Thunderbird University = major private postgraduate international business school, Grand Canyon University = religious institution).
2. Lots of indoor gun ranges.  Makes for good urban recreation in the hotter-than-heck summers we have here.  Keeps gun culture relevant.

[red headed stranger]

To be sure, Phoenix is better than Tuscon when it comes to RKBA.  But nonetheless, the names on the some of the latest anti-RKBA legislation have included reps from Phoenix. 

Here is another bit of news I do not care for coming out of AZ: 

http://azstarnet.com/news/local/crime/az-tries-to-patch-holes-on-gun-info/article_84d66f3f-0854-5903-ae19-1ada5a58b6f1.html

In short, AZ is going to share their Medical Marijuana database with NICS.  At this point the state of AZ doesn't push out info on indictments, or mental adjudications to NICS, but they are OK with doing it for medical MJ.   

[never_retreat]

I believe this was from our Governor Christie yesterday.
I think my theory might be correct, It seems like he does not even want to touch gun control with a stick. Got to keep those options open.
