CALIFORNIA HAS GOTTEN EVEN TOUGHER ON GUN CONTROL.
CALIFORNIA VOTED TUESDAY TO PASS PROPOSITION 63,
WHICH WAS SPEARHEADED BY
GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM.
THE MEASURE BANS CAPACITY ñ LARGE CAPACITY MAGAZINES,
MANDATES BACKGROUND CHECKS AND PERMITS FOR AMMUNITION
PURCHASES, AND MAKES ALL FIREARMS STEPS FELONIES
REGARDLESS OF THE WEAPON."
THIS IS VERY INTERESTING THAT THIS PASSED.
SOMETHING INTERESTING TO KNOW IS THAT THE NATIONAL RIFLE
ASSOCIATION LARGELY STAYED OUT OF THE FRAY, ONLY SPENDING
$95,000 TO TRY TO DEFEAT THE MEASURE.
IN COMPARISON, THEY PUT ALMOST 4 MILLION UP TO FIGHT THE
BACKGROUND CHECK MEASURES IN NEVADA, SO I THOUGHT THAT
WAS AN INTERESTING TAIL END OF THE STORY.
GOOD THEY JUST KNOW IT WAS A LOSING BATTLE?
THAT IS INTERESTING, AND YOU KNOW, THEY REPRESENT ñ
VIDEO BUFFERING ñ
KNOW THEY DON'T, THEY REPRESENT THE PEOPLE WHO PAY THEM, AND
THOSE ARE THE GUN MANUFACTURERS.
SO THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN LIKE, YOU GOT ISSUES WITH BULLETS?
THAT ISN'T OUR PROBLEM.
THERE STILL WERE BACKGROUND CHECKS AS PART OF THE MEASURES
THAT WERE PASSED, AND THEY THOUGHT THAT LARGELY IN NEVADA.
MAYBE THEY JUST THOUGHT THEY COULD NOT WIN BECAUSE THE POLLS
SHOW THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE WERE IN FAVOR OF THIS
LEGISLATION.
THAT COULD BE TRUE, LITERALLY PICKING YOUR BATTLES.
ANOTHER INTERESTING PART OF THIS IS, AFTER TRUMP ONE, TODAY,
STOCK PRICES FOR SOME GUN MANUFACTURERS WENT DOWN 12%.
SO, WHEN DEMOCRATS WIN, PEOPLE PANIC AND BUY MORE GUNS.
OH THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE MY GUNS, GOTTA BUY MOR GUNS.
SO MAYBE IN THIS CASE, IF THIS PASSES, IT WILL CAUSE PANIC IN
GUNOWNERS, WHICH IS SUPER EASY TO DO.
SO THEY'LL BE LIKE, I KNEW IT, THEY ARE COMING TO TAKE MY
BULLETS, I'VE GOT TO BUY MORE GUNS.
SO MAYBE THE NRA STANDS TO BENEFIT.
WHO KNOWS.
IT'S HARD TO SELL IN THIS INSTANCE, BUT I VOTED FOR IT,
I'M GLAD IT PASSED, I'M GLAD THAT GAVIN NEWSOM WENT FOR IT.
IS BASICALLY THE CHRIS ROCK STRATEGY.
CHRIS ROCK IS LIKE, WE CAN STOP GUNS, HOW ABOUT WE MAKE EVERY
BULLET $1000?
I THOUGHT I WAS VERY INTERESTING AS WELL.
WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT WAYNE LIP ñ THAT
WAYNE LAPIERRE REFUSED TO DEBATE GAVIN NEWSOM ABOUT THE MEASURE?
I THOUGHT THAT WAS STRANGE, LAPIERRE HAS ALWAYS STRUCK ME AS
SOMEONE WHO LOVES THE SPOTLIGHT, AND LOVES TO TALK ABOUT GUNS AND
HIS AFFILIATION WITH THE NRA.
I THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE.
YEAH, THERE IS SOMETHING WEIRD GOING ON.
THERE WASN'T ANY FIGHT, IT'S VERY UNLIKE THE NRA.
THEY NORMALLY GO PREFERABLY GUNS BLAZING, WHENEVER THERE IS AN
ISSUE THAT AFFECTS THEM THEY ARE LIKE, NO!
BUT MAYBE, THE MOST LIKELY THEORY, GRACE, IS YOURS.
BECAUSE, IF YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE, YOU SHOULD DO IT QUIETLY,
BECAUSE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS PROJECT POWER.
SO WHEN YOU WHEN YOU WANT TO SHOW EVERYBODY, I WON, I WON!
SO YOU BETTER NOT MESS WITH ME AND DO THOSE BALLOT MEASURES AND
STUFF LIKE THAT, SO THEY SPENT A LOT OF TIME DOING THAT IN
NEVADA, AND THOUGHT CALIFORNIA WAS TOO LIBERAL, THEY'LL NEVER
WIN THERE, SO WHENEVER WE WEREN'T FIGHTING IT ANYWAY.
SO CALIFORNIA, MAYBE WE SHOULD DO MORE, BECAUSE THE REALITY
IS, THE MORE GUNS THERE ARE, THE MORE BULLETS THERE ARE, THE
MORE HIGH-CAPACITY MAGAZINES, THE MORE PEOPLE THAT ARE KILLED.
SO UP AND AT THEM, THEY ARE FIGHTING?
GREAT, LET'S DO MORE BACKGROUND CHECKS AND MEASURES TO LIMIT
HIGH, YOU KNOW, ASSAULT WEAPONS, AND ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS, SO
THAT WE STOP HAVING THESE HIGH CASUALTY EVENTS; THESE MASS
SHOOTINGS.
