Bill would bring California handgun restrictions to North Carolina
A measure proposed by state House Democrats last week would severely limit the models of pistols allowed to circulate in the Tar Heel State.

The bill, HB 1060, was filed last Thursday by Orange County Democrat Verla Insko and would require the North Carolina Department of Public Safety to first develop a safe handgun roster, then ban sale or possession of any pistol not included on the list. Insko and the bill’s seven co-sponsors argue there is a lack of federal design and safety standards on pistols and that California’s controversial roster of Handguns Certified for Sale should be a starting point for North Carolina to work with.

Established by California’s Unsafe Handgun Act, that state’s roster of handguns that meet the state’s expansive safety requirements was established in 2001 and is getting gradually smaller. Under state law, new semi-automatic firearms sold in California must have the capability to permanently stamp shell casings fired through the gun with an identifying mark. The concept, known as microstamping, creates a serialized shell casing that could be traced back to the gun that fired it. However, this technology is not in a current production handgun and as a result, California’s roster is contracting and is increasingly limited to legacy models.

In 2008, the number of guns on the roster stood at over 1,400. Today it is half that amount. For instance, no Generation 4 or 5 Glocks handguns have been approved for sale in California. Handgun giant Ruger has only one semi-auto pistol, a .380, listed that is approved.

Further, while it is legal to buy and sell so-called off-roster pistols to a degree in California, Insko’s proposed legislation ups the ante on gun control as it bans possession of guns not listed on the proposed North Carolina version and has no provision for grandfathering

Does this mean they will ban all semi auto handguns that folks own now ... Looks like it if it should ever pass. Dangerous times we live in ....

An Abomination

I encourage it to pass.

The more angry people who are pissed off and had enough the better. Expose the left for who they are and then people need to make a decision.

Let's just get it over with already.

Too many Yankees moving to that state!

If I get there, I’ll do my part to oppose that kind of BS.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Hey North Carolina, wake up!

The Demoncrats are in the minority in NC, bills and ideas like this will keep them there.

I absolutely love when these hate filled Americans support these types of ideas, I love it more when they vocalize them.

It's said to see this happen, and I hope it doesn't pass, but it certainly seem that everyone that fled NY for safe areas after the safe act may have been a little quick to act. Socialism and progressive ideologies are a cancer that needs to be destroyed, or it will continue to spread.

Somewhere I think I heard “no fuckin way it’ll never happen here”. Good luck with that all you folks that live in soon to be purple states.

BWAAAAAAH!!!

How long ago was it you could've said this about Colorado or Virginia?

I agree with your overall point.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

With a whopping seven co-sponsors "Insko’s bill has been referred to the House Rules Committee." Where it will very likely stay and die. It's very disturbing however, to see this kind of bill anywhere let alone North Carolina. Clock is ticking.

Idaho, montana Wyoming.

That's free America.

I don't support the idea. I hate it.

But I'm looking at it as, well.... The dems want to be assholes so they might as well go all the way and expose themselves for being the communists they really are. Let all those who are in the center, moderates, fudds, joe 6packs see them for what they really are.

The sooner more Americans wake up and see the dems, progressives, rinos, socialists, globalists as being threats to their freedom the better our country will be.

I am making a tactical decision that i am encouraging the dems to try this because it might wake up more people to our side of the cause and the end result will be a net gain for us.

Hopefully some of these bullshit laws will make it to the SCOTUS sooner or later and it will be a benefit to us here in NY.

I worry Texas is getting close to flirting with the purple in national elections. 90% of the state is very conservative but the liberal metropolitan enclaves are growing quickly in population and influence in presidential elections. If we lose Texas we never get another president.

All I have to say is welcome to the party.

I don't encourage it to pass. Law abiding citizens have a track record of rolling over and going with the "law". Just like the "safe act" here in NY. We don't fight or protest..we're all "sheep" and FUDDS, as some like that term here.

I don’t see how this holds up to any legal challenge. Shall not be infringed likely does not mean here’s a list of what you can buy. This guy is ok, but not this one. But but but they are the same gun made by different manufactures??
