Proposition 63 would require background checks for the purchase of ammunition, and it would ban large-capacity magazines. It would also make it a felony to steal a gun. Its supporters say it will keep guns and bullets out of the wrong hands while opponents say it imposes costly burdens on law enforcement agencies and taxpayers.

| You're already a serf if you live in Cali. When moving from there to Alabama 24 months ago, I noted the near barren shelves of gun shops compared the gun shops in rural Alabama. No, I couldn't buy a Gen 4 Glock pistol, or many other common pistols, back west. Once my residency kicked in, with background check it was a 20 minute process to purchase a self defense pistol of MY CHOICE. When I moved in 2014, I couldn't shoot ground squirrels in the national forests with an air rifle because most the state was a supposed 'condor zone' that needed protection from 'lead' (no scientific basis). |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
