[MCgrease08]

Califoria Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law last week A.B. 173, which among other things gives various academics, most of them very likely to be hostile to private gun ownership, access to all the information California collects about the state's buyers of guns, gun parts, and ammunition.

The law says that an assortment of government info about gun possessors "shall be available to researchers affiliated with the California Firearm Violence Research Center at UC Davis for academic and policy research purposes." Furthermore, "At the department's discretion…information collected pursuant to this section may be provided to any other nonprofit bona fide research institution accredited by the United States Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation for the study of the prevention of violence."

Cool. Now do MS-13, the Crips and the Bloods Newsom. I'm sure they'd be willing to participate in your little study.

Bad time to be a gun collector in California, like a burglars target list.

Good time for gun owners to leave California, before the harassment begins!

Only gunowners that don't agree with California politics. There's an overlap.

I heard vibrator buyers had a 10 day delay before taking possession. And then they had to be locked in a safe separate from the batteries unless in use. I wonder if the data that is reviewable allows for personal identity. Or if it's more basic, male/female, age, gun type.

I don't emoji. Funny, ha ha, because we both know identities won't be withheld? And that identities will be used for political gain? And the data, in general, will be scientifically analyzed to figure out how best to curtail 2a rights under the guise of 'science!' The sooner we get the tidal waves, the sooner we get Arizona Bay.

Yeah, you mean like, the same way FISA surveillance will only be used on terrorists...and non-target citizens will have their identities masked...until they're needed for political purposes?

Data leaks, especially when the providers want it to.

I see good in California as a sort of "landfill" state where the rest of the nation can send it's trash. Criminals , illegals, etc.
