If you buy a gun in California you stand a really good chance of becoming a criminal by unintentionally breaking the law. Doubt that prediction?
Try taking the quiz below put together by KOGO’s Carl DeMaio and Michael Schwartz of San Diego County Gun Owners Association. Mind you, if you get even ONE question wrong, you are a criminal and (if caught) lose your 2nd Amendment rights and worse!
“Politicians opposed to the Second Amendment have enacted regulations and rules that are so onerous and confusing that even the most responsible individual and reasonably informed gun owner will unintentionally end up committing either a felony or misdemeanor or both,” says Carl DeMaio.
“This strategy mirrors the complex ‘Voter Eligibility Tests’ Democrats gave in the South in the 1870s to 1950s to deprive blacks of the right to vote - make it so complex that people lose their rights,” continues DeMaio.
Take the quiz below – and share with your friends. Perhaps then they will realize that all the anti-gun laws are not about enacting simple “safeguards” but making it so confusing and strict that good people become criminals – without knowing it in many cases. Plus listen to interview segment below of Carl DeMaio and Michael Schwartz explaining the survey and the complex gun laws in California.
