Those who are paying attention realize that the Second Amendment has been under assault by Leftist elements for literally years. Decades.
This focus has been even more pronounced under Barack Hussein Obama, the worst president the United States has ever had to suffer through and attempt to survive.
That said, Leftists know that it is difficult to go after firearms themselves — though a large bulk of Europeans wish they had their own version of the Second Amendment today due to the invasion of their continent by Muslim “refugees” and usurpers.
So: how to kick Constitutionalists in the slats?
Go after ammunition. In Fornicalia, they have already done so. It is illegal to hunt with lead bullets, for example. Facts be damned.
Therefore, from Breitbart.com:
Gavin Newsom: Ammunition ‘The Most Dangerous Part’ of a Gun
by AWR Hawkins
Californian Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom is hitching his 2018 gubernatorial campaign to a statewide ballot proposal that would sharply restrict the sale of ammunition.
“It seems to me the most dangerous part of the weapon is not the weapon itself, it’s the ammunition,” he said April 1.
He wants anyone buying ammunition to endure a background check similar to the one that would-be gun buyers currently have to pass to buy a firearm.
According to the Press Democrat, Newsom, speaking at the Graton casino, told a story about being denied a Sudafed cold medicine purchase because he did not have a driver’s license to show at the pharmacy counter. He suggested it is strange that a person has to show ID to buy cold medicine but not ammunition.
So you want ID for ammunition? You want background checks for ammunition?
How about we apply what I call the Logical Extension then, sir? That would be: mandatory identification for voting. Background checks for voters. Appearing at one’s voting precinct is a perfect time to run persons for criminal warrants. to check if they are welfare abusers, drug abusers, in violation of any number of restraining orders, tort violations, domestic abuse violations. Imagine how many domestic abuse cases could be solved with abusers in custody?
After all, voting is one of the MOST consequential actions one can take yearly.
It’s only fair — I love that Leftist word when applied against them — that the United States know — like firearms — if actual CITIZENS are voting upon issues that determine the future of the nation.
Newsom is also pushing a ban on the possession of “high capacity” magazines. He says such magazines are “disproportionately responsible for mayhem.”
What is a “high capacity magazine”?
Would that be a hundred rounds? Fifty rounds? Thirty rounds? Twenty rounds? Ten rounds?
How about five rounds?
Like Barney Fife, keep your one round in your pocket.

Up here in kanuckistan we are allowed any magazine we want, as long as it’s permanently pinned to 5 rnd capacity. Fucking liberals (equiv to your demorats)
And as a bonus, I need an operators license to used my 8′ pram on a mountain lake if I have an electric (or any) motor on it, again thanks to liberals.
A license to put a canoe on a lake. WTF.
In any event, thank you for dropping by, and thanks for taking the time to comment.

(P)regressives have no use for rights, due process, private property, truth or self defense if it involves a firearms. All tactic, to them, are praiseworthy. That is why I am now a no compromise, not even a little, with any of them.
When I hear, “I support the 2nd Amendment, but……..”, I’m not interested in any other issue they offer.
