Dear California State Legislature

[Fred]

Dear Legislature:

I realize you have overspent horribly over the years and are now paying the price for that. I'll keep a lookout for things you could do to reduce your spending. I discovered one yesterday. My new desk chair had a tag that aid it complied with the regulations of the California Home Furnishings Agency. I would bet you could get by just fine without that agency. Other states do. I would have provided this advice through your web site but you don't enable communication on the site so I'm posting it here in the hopes that someone will find it.

If I discover anything else, I'll post it here. If I were a California resident, I could probably find thousands of them but it's harder for people in other states to know the details of what is going on there.

Gun laws are a sore spot with me.

And if only the politicians could see them!

I don't think you've seen anything yet, Bob. I'm so convinced the liberals intend to destroy gun ownership during the next year or two that I've already sold off about 80% of my collection. I think that, when it happens, they will confiscate all the guns. That's what they did in Australia, as an example. Don't forget, the purpose of the second amendment was help citizens defend themselves against a government gone out of control. Luckily that's never happened. But we are as close to it as I have ever seen in my lifetime.

vhy dunt joo yust direct it to de govenatah himself

If you've sold off your gun supply, no doubt my husband is the one buying them. He says, it's to keep us safe when this country goes in the direction it is headed and he thinks that is soon. Meanwhile I feel like I'm living in a gun safe.

well, i grew up where no one is allowed to have guns except military and police... and i think having one carries maximum sentence of capital punishment

The founders of our country were actually very wise in the way they designed the constitution. Most of us believe the freedoms guaranteed by the constitution are what has made this the wealthiest country on the planet. They had just finished dealing with tyranny and went overboard in the area of freedoms. A very good thing.

Lovescooking, I did really well with the sales effort. I sold my guns at a good profit. They are selling like mad right now. I only kept a pair of target shotguns, a couple of pistols, one revolver and a couple of rifles - well maybe three. The rest are gone. The liberal element is going like crazy trying to get everything they want quickly while Obama's approval ratings are high. I'm not sure gun confiscation is very high on the list but I know it's on the list.

Frankly, what they are doing to our country is scary. If they don't slow down they could foment a revolution.

I believe it was Thomas Jefferson who said if the people fear the government, that is tyranny. If the government fears the people, that is liberty. Our constitution was designed around that belief. Unfortunately, the government is trying to change that balance in its favor. I've never seen a governmental power grab like we are seeing now in my life. Scares the heck out of me. I guess that's tyranny.

hehe, i think liberty vs tyranny is less important than whoever has power to make changes do so based on smart, wise, fair judgements.

i'll take a smart, wise, fair tyrant over liberty of the people where corruption, and idiotic choices are made.

and likewise, i'd take the collective wisdom of the ppl over a bad tyranny.

i guess i'm completely indifferent on the system of the government as long as good choices are made. and i don't trust the people any more than i trust the 1 autocrat.

china has 6 thousands of years of government by emperors. and there were good emporers and bad emporers. just like there are good democracy and bad democracy
