    McCarthyism Achieved..."Are You Now...Or Have You Ever Been An NRA Member...?"

    Los Angeles passes law requiring companies that want city contracts to disclose NRA ties

    The Los Angeles City Council voted on Tuesday to pass a law that requires companies seeking contracts with the city to disclose any ties to the National Rifle Association (NRA).

    The Los Angeles Times reported that council member Mitch O'Farrell crafted the ordinance in response to the wave of mass shootings in the U.S. The councilman described the NRA as a "roadblock" to gun law reforms.

    The measure passed on Tuesday with a 14-0 vote.

    Attorneys for the NRA have threatened to sue over the ordinance, the Times reported. One lawyer for the organization told the news outlet that the law could prompt those with ties to the organization to drop their affiliation out of fear it could cost them business.

    The NRA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    The Los Angeles Times reported that the city's attorney informed O'Farrell that the city is on "firm legal ground" with the ordinance.

    The NRA has come under mounting scrutiny, particularly from Democratic lawmakers, in the wake of recent mass shootings, including one last year that left 12 people dead in a suburb of Los Angeles.

    Unreal.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    I've got a patch from Violent Little. It's the Star of David with "Gun Owner" written on it. It's mildly offensive, yet the message remains true.

    I have a problem with the patch, as it stands today.

    Having said that, I will say it very clear if we do not learn the lesson of what the socialist did to Germany under Hitler and all of us commit to doing every thing to defeat the socialist in America we all will suffer.

    In my opinion firearms manufacturers need to stop selling guns in California period, no exceptions. They should stop selling to all government agencies or law enforcement personnel until these anti-gun policies and laws are reversed.

    Honestly, that's the only way to put pressure on the LE unions and chiefs/sheriffs to stop supporting anti-2A policy. Make it to where the only guns their cops and security details can get are imported Taurus'.

    Frankly, I hope they can't even get those.

    This.

    I would laugh my black ass off if all the Cali State police could get were Brycos, Ravens, or Hi Points.

    That would solve nothing. Every officer I know already has a safe full of guns. Even if stopping every avenue of getting a new gun was physically possible, they'd just use the ones they already have. Not to mention that you'd be hurting millions of your gun owning allies and putting innocent members of the public at great risk of harm.

    How about we just put a stop to ALL state laws, local ordinances, and any other government BS everywhere in the country that violate 2A and infringes on anyone's constitutionally protected birthrights?

    Don't forget. This crap is coming to every state. Texas is already purple and due to the number of electoral votes and your proximity to the border, the Dems are pushing hard to gain control of YOUR state the same way they gained control of MY state. You want your local PD carrying Lorcins and Ravens when the bad guys come knocking on your door? Or your mother's door? I don't. I don't want that for you and yours, and I don't want it for me and mine because some asshole politicians are getting away with violating our Constitution.
