What laws specifically do you think california should relax on?
The ones Reagan instituted to criminalise Black Panther patrols.
So people without permits should be able to carry loaded weapons in public?
I abhor the reason the law was put in place but at this point in time it isn't exactly the same weapon it was then. A poor equivalent would be if suddenly it was a law that everyone who went to any protest had to have an individual permit or be swept away. But if that law was enacted 20 years ago you would probably just do the paperwork to get it. This is my understanding of history at least. This isn't like the black panthers where there is some organized cause with a leader, goal, and message. It's just random Americans REALLY pissed off on both sides and I'd like for there to be some roadblocks thanks.
If I am way off base apologies. Hisrory really isn't my strong suit and despite how I may have originally came off I meant it as a discussion
It isn’t exactly the same weapon? What do you mean? The AR-15 was first sold in 1963. Weapons today are no deadlier than 60 years ago.
And the AR-15 is basically just a hunting rifle cosplaying as military hardware.
