    Excerpts:

    Time to do a little research. It turns out there is an administrative procedure to get into the system, but most sources say it doesn’t work. Confusing, time-consuming and unreliable. The only practical way to get into the system is to buy a gun!

    The urban liberals who control California politics are fond of saying that these gun laws are not intended to harass hunters, nor to deny the right to keep and bear arms to honest citizens. They should stop saying this. It is now plain that this is, indeed, the result of the gun law mess they have created, whether intended or not.

    The NRA has been telling us for years that this is the left-wing plan to disarm the nation, and do away with the Second Amendment, a little at a time. I left the NRA awhile ago, because of their increasingly strident right-wing ravings, but it appears that they have been right about this all along. I may have to re-join. I really hate to do this, as I am a fairly liberal person on many issues, including health care and civil rights, but I am a country boy, and this hits me personally. I am throwing in my lot with the right wing…

    I feel bad for this guy. He is culturally on the left (with the Dems on “health care and civil rights”) and seemed to believe all the left’s promises about not disarming law-abiding Californians and allowing hunters to go about their business unmolested.

    Now he is getting woke. He realizes the left was lying. He had the choice to ignore the lie and remain with the cultural left. Or he could acknowledge the lie and join the right. He chose wisely.

    Look at what it took for him to start to get woke: After 50 years of hunting in far northern rural California, west of Redding, he could no longer buy ammo. The state of California’s computer system rejected him without cause. He didn’t start to get woke until it got personal. He’s not even there yet: “May have to re-join” the NRA is a hoot and a holler from “I’ve rejoined as a life member.” (Yes, the NRA has its problems, but he’s not talking about supporting SAF or GOA or FPC either.)

    This is a useful illustration of why California has fallen to the left. Hunters could have stood with AR-15 owners in the suburbs and Glock owners in the city. They did not. They believed the anti-gun left was not coming for hunting rifles and ammo. Now it is likely too late.

    The author concludes with a logical argument to the leftists in Sacramento, asking them to reverse their anti-gun laws. He cites “fraudulent science,” and he is correct on the facts. But because he is not yet fully woke, he does not seem to understand that this is a cultural war on the part of the left, and logic plays little part.

    The left wants irredeemable rural deplorables disarmed and helpless and probably even depersonned. You may be with them on health care and civil rights, but if you’re not with them 100 percent on gun bans, you’re the enemy.

    Get woke or get broke?
