    Trying to ignore the "in your face" jingoism, it seems California has passed laws restricting access to assault weapons, and giving ten year bans from gun ownership if you have proved that you shouldn't be allowed near them by shooting them at people.

              I'm absolutely delighted! In a few years, there will be no guns left in California, and me and my expeditionary force will invade from the sea, and bring it back into the British Empire! Mwaahahahahaaaa! *Strokes white Persian cat on lap * Actually, scrub that. I've just realized it's California were talking about. Who the hell wants that!

                I don't get it. What's your point here?

                - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                    If we just invade it within 10 miles of the sea, we can have a nice beachfront statelet!

                          Inappropriate for the Lounge: should go to SoapBox.

                          “Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart, and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms, and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”

                                          You people could argue that guns are good in safe hands, and "you" are not one of the bad guys, etc. But there have been way too much of gun related crimes and I'm glad that your government at least has the balls to try and do something about it. I'm sure you'll disagree stating that the bad guys will still have guns or whatever, but this is a start. If you move out of California now, I'm sure you'll be moving between several states soon, and then perhaps will soon look to move out to may be another country. If not getting bullet magazines with not more than 10 rounds in one set, or having to report the loss or theft of your automatic assault rifle within 48 hours are your biggest problems, you're a very happy man. Just move on with your life. Here's a link for you which gives more insight on the kind of "trauma" you're going through: first world problems vs real problems[^].
