Dem-controlled California senate passes bill requiring permit to buy ammo--liberals ecstatic

The California senate has passed a bill that would do several things that might interest you.

Oh, you say you don't live in CA so this is of no interest to you?  Think again, because it shows how fast things can turn to shit in your own state if liberals win a majority of the seats in the legislature.

The bill (SB53 for those who want to read for themselves) 

1. would only allow you to buy ammunition if you have an "Ammunition Purchase Authorization;"
2. levies a fee--carefully not specified--on people who apply for the newly-required "Authorization" to buy;
3. would force every person or business selling ammunition to apply for a state license to do so; 
4. would force all sellers to maintain a detailed list of names and other information on every buyer, including thumbprint;
5. would force sellers to turn the above information over to the state essentially immediately.

Alarmed yet, campers?

Or are you still in that sweet, comfy slumber, believing the liberals/Democrats/socialists when they reassure you that they really, really support the second amendment and would never, never try to take away your nasty ol' guns.  Even though they blythely reject any parts of the Constitution they don't like.

Barack Obama decided you should use less electricity, but he couldn't slap a federal tax on that wonderful commodity without being impeached.  Oooh, what to do?  So he cleverly, cannily did it by indirect means:   Had his EPA jack up their regulations enough to force utility companies to shut down dozens of coal-fired powerplants.

The laws of supply and demand acting as they do, prices are already going up.  Bingo.

Same with guns:  A majority of Democrat pols have decided you shouldn't own any.  Unfortunately they lost a case in the Supreme Court that would have effectively done that.  But they realized the obvious: without ammunition, a gun is pretty useless.  They can't outlaw ammunition, but they realized that making it prohibitively expensive would accomplish the same end.

It would not surprise me an iota if some diligent sleuth were to eventually discover--decades from now--that a dozen CA state senators were promised hundreds of thousands of dollars of campaign contributions by any of a dozen big socialist organizations in return for passing this abominable bill.

But regardless of whether there's outright corruption  (in politics?  surely not!), the effect is the same.

Whooo, doggies!  We are being played, played, played.  And most of you have no idea it's happening.  Too caught up in American Idol, I guess.  Or your kid's soccer league.  Or "Real Housewives of L.A."

It's okay...your kids will be perfectly happy having the government run their lives.  After all, some super-sophisticated European philosopher just wrote that capitalism forces people to make so many decisions that it makes us all crazy.
