re: #244 freetoken

That sentence includes the presumption that the 2nd Amendment really is about carrying or owning handguns as we know them today.

This bill isn’t just handguns, and it isn’t about Concealed Carry. This thing says that you need to be found ‘suitable’ by law enforcement before you can own any gun, even a .22 bolt action.

Video-record an arrest where the police don’t come off looking very good? Under this bill the state police might well be able to deny you that Firearms Identification Card on grounds you had a “severe aversion to authority”. Moreover, unlike another proposal in California, this bill provides for no judicial review of police determinations (as far as I can see), and that makes it downright hideous in my eyes.
