We can now get non-AW AOWs as regular "firearms". This includes 12-gauges that were manufactured without a stock but with a barrel under 18". So pistol-gripped 12-gauge "not a shotguns" with like a 12" barrel are OK now if you buy it through an FFL willing to do the Form 2. I think 2A Zone in Upland is going to make insane amounts of money in the next 2 weeks because they're the main FFL that does those services in CA.

I may not have a suppressor, but at least I have an imported loli daki. I take solace in that.

Don't worry, some of us are also in cuck states whose laws still require following the NFA. Although I do already own an SBR and 1 suppressor :^)

frankly, it's not worth it to uproot my whole life just for guns. my career, family, and friends are all here. my late parents gave it their all to raise me here. i'm staying until the bitter end. if i was a social outcast with no kids i could understand the appeal of just getting up and leaving on a whim. secondly, (unless you live in a irredeemable shithole like compton or oakland) CA is a beautiful state to live in, politics aside.

As much as I hate capitalizing on others downfall we won’t be fucked when the next admin comes in and demands registration of unfilled tax stamps because this admin doesn’t have the balls to actually repeal the NFA. Per the letter of the law the gay ass tax stamp NEEDS to be filed no matter the price even though it’s retarded to pay a $0 tax. This is a purely Administrative change which is retarded because the government shouldn’t have the authority to decide how to interpret and enforce laws (that the judical’s job) and doubly so now that Chevron Deference was removed last year

Not from Cali, but in a similar metro shithole: for most people the reason is the fact that unless you're doing some bullshit job that inexplicably plays 150k a year you barely break even on day to day living expenses and it becomes impossible to move out. Unless you're fortunate to still live with your parents into adulthood with a decent well paying job that transfers over into other states with lower costs of living and they don't need you for bills or charge you much on rent.

Bold of you to assume Becerra isn't just brown Newsom. We'll get the same shit we've had except all the bitching about whitey won't have to be prefaced by Newsom's self flagellating.

Did you not see the part of my post saying he'll be replaced with someone that' just him with a different name? You all better vote for Chad Bianco. It probably won't matter, but if you do you can continue to complain about not being represented when you don't comply with shitty laws you had no say in, being drafted and passed.

>>65585095
Bianco is out along with Steyer. It's Becerra or Hilton now. Becerra has less personality and presence than a chatbot LLM, so it shocks me that he's probably going to be the next governor. The guy's the definition of an empty suit

Unironically, it's still the cultural center of the US and has a greater GDP on its own than most of the other 50 states combined. We have the best food, the best music comes from here, the best nightlife anywhere you can find. Beautiful nature just a drive away. Coastal cities with amazing weather and great people. Silicon Valley is still one of the best places you can hope to find work. Our power grid is so efficient we're a net exporter of energy. Just LA and SF have tons of amazing history and culture that you really have to live here to appreciate. Honestly, I don't ever plan to leave. I couldn't live anywhere else.

>>65589865
>Food
yeah sort of at least in terms of variety but shit is pricey and its not like there isnt good food anywhere else even if its more regionally focused.
>Music
I would've agreed 20 years ago but it's all ass now anyway. Plus the act being from LA doesn't mean you enjoy it anymore just cause you live here.
>Nightlife
mileage varies, I don't think it's particularly better here but it does probably make the short list.
>Weather
yeah definitely, mild and comfortable all year around for the most part.
>Work
after you have some work experience and can find something in 6 figures or close to it yeah, but entry level is still fairly rough because of housing and other cost of living is still pretty ridiculous.

For the most part, but they kinda shit the bed in the last heat wave.

yeah but that doesn't really affect your life no more than knowing the history of another part of the country.

Talk to them, there's some sort of custom order process involved. Customer paperwork is now vastly easier, but it's not cheap because they still have to do the Form 2 and assorted "manufacture" paperwork bullshit on their end.

The main draw of "California cuisine" is fusion. Cooks here are unafraid to experimentally mix Asian, Latino, African (lol UN food rations), whatever food to try and make something better. Lots of trendy bougie boutique restaurants and such, a lot of them fail but some hold on. On the flip side is the huge number of cheap, good Asian and Latino hole-in-the-walls, most of which localize their cuisine in interestingly tasty ways.

tl;dr; CA's big thing is mixing different ethnic cuisines to make something new and trendy. Very unique but also kind of hit or miss.

That makes sense, but throwing shit at shit is how you eventually find good combinations.

>>65593036

Basically yeah. I guess the combo of noveau rich tech workers and entertainment industry trendwhores (both of which are desperate for new experiences and want to show how "cultured" they are) keep the ethnic fusion cuisine train going with tons of seed money so that all the home cooks with a dream can shoot their shot and mostly fail. If all that tech and entertainment money vanished the experimental culinary scene would collapse overnight, along with a lot of the nightlife and weird hobbyist economy.

>>65593041

>>65589865
The weather and the national parks in norcal are the only things the state has going for it. Culture is such a fucking meme its insane, there is literally 0 chance your life is made better by tiktok influencers moving to la. Food is the same or even better literally anywhere in the south, your hipster "vietnamese style sandwich" is shit. Its 2026 and any music worth listening to is either old or comes from some skitzo in a basement that only posts online, you will cope and say you pick up women at shows but you never have any proof. The only upside to living and working in cali is that the economy is so insanly inflated that if you can manage to bag a 6 figure job you can live homeless for a couple years and then flee to a place with less beaners and jeets

Is 200k in Cali impressive? I don't think it's as great as you think it is.

>>65593424
As an LA native I've always felt that the climate is actually really bad psychologically. People need those changes and extremes in weather, it gives you a sense of time going by and breaks up the monotony, and without it people fall into this weird hedonistic stasis that afflicts a lot of people in SoCal and the culture, especially transplants who come from places with real seasons right out of high school or college and have never really learned how to function as adults in a normal place.

I live somewhere with real seasons now, albeit relatively mild ones (we get snow but not a ton and it almost never gets below the teens) and there's something that's both comforting and motivating about watching the world change through the year, it's so much more real and tangible and grounded than the weird uncanny purgatory that is SoCal.

>>65593061

I personally avoid those places because of the insane prices, tiny portions (holy shit it's six chocolate candy-sized bits of food on a plate for $250 because we mixed truffles and saffron!) and clientele. That said I did notice a Michelin starred place in my area offer something with legit barnyard straw in it.

>>65593762
Pretty sure those places exist to fleece new rich that engage in conspicuous consumption.

>>65593873

Well yeah, like I said in >>65593041, their main customers are noveau rich tech boys and entertainment industry trendwhores. It's less about the food and more about being seen eating it on insta.

Coastal big city California is all about big image with no substance, but unfortunately their equally vapid votes rig the whole fucking state.

>>65593509
It is, otherwise it wouldn't be called culture, but just like how there's bad culture and good culture, there's bad and good pop culture.

>>65593762
>That said I did notice a Michelin starred place in my area offer something with legit barnyard straw in it.
lmfao

>>65593731
You might be on to something.
Lord knows I could do with far less FUCKING SNOW, because getting three feet of it promptly dumped on you after you finally unearthed your driveway is very mildly soulcrushing (I have a somewhat long uphill driveway), but it'd probably be too weird if I never really got fall or even a bit of snow.

Not that anon, but my family had a house in the Hollywood Hills that sold for almost $2M in '24 and we still had car break-ins, catalytic converter thefts, bums thinking our quiet street was a good place to live in a car, the bougie liquor store down the hill was cleaned out by guys who backed a U-Haul through the front glass, etc., I saw the corner picking up dead hobos from the sidewalk next to my formerly nice Ralph's (which used to be open 24 hours and had to stop that because of the crime), and it just goes on. As far as I can tell the only way to get away from it is to be so far out of town that you may as well just live in another state that's cheaper and has better gun laws etc.

Tenemos la mejor gastronomía, la mejor música surge de aquí y contamos con la mejor vida nocturna que se pueda encontrar. La naturaleza es preciosa y está a solo un corto trayecto en coche. Hay ciudades costeras con un clima maravilloso y gente estupenda. Silicon Valley sigue siendo uno de los mejores lugares donde uno puede aspirar a encontrar trabajo. Nuestra red eléctrica es tan eficiente que somos exportadores netos de energía. Solo Los Ángeles y San Francisco poseen una riqueza histórica y cultural tan inmensa que, para apreciarla de verdad, hay que vivir aquí. Sinceramente, no tengo intención de irme nunca. No podría vivir en ningún otro lugar.

Texas is just California for people with lower IQ.

Most people either go featureless or Compmag for their CA ARs now. If you go Compmag all you need to do is break it open once to eject said mag then load whatever detachables you want, across the Nevada state line of course. Absolutely not in the desert east of LA where there's no cops, nope. Everyone else just buys a Juggernaut grip (so the axis of the thumb is above the trigger so you can legally wrap it around) or one of the fin grips with the fin all the way to one side so you just rest your thumb on the ambi safety pivot. It's not hard, and it lets you legally use all the 30+ round Freedom Week 1.0 mags you totally got in 2019.

you know, I never thought of it this way and it makes so much sense- having lived in a state now with ACTUAL seasonal changes as the year rolls on. It does give you a sense of urgency and a grasp of time. It grounds you to earth. In California, it seems like a never-ending monotonous one-shot year. The only real marker is the year-end celebrations. You'll be celebrating that, then realize you need to get your date for the Pumpkin Patch photos for October. The years pass like nothing

>so I could play with guns
they can't even shoot the intruders of their home in California. Laughable

>>65600033

Actually no. Of all the things wrong with CA, it actually has a proper no-retreat fuck-you-eat-lead Castle Doctrine under PC 198.5.

>Any person using force intended or likely to cause death or great bodily injury within his or her residence shall be presumed to have held a reasonable fear of imminent peril of death or great bodily injury to self, family, or a member of the household when that force is used against another person, not a member of the family or household, who unlawfully and forcibly enters or has unlawfully and forcibly entered the residence and the person using the force knew or had reason to believe that an unlawful and forcible entry occurred.
>As used in this section, great bodily injury means a significant or substantial physical injury.

It's basically the only thing CA has over a couple other cuck states. You can legally blast any home invader who breaks into your place... With your cucked roster pistol, muzzleloading musket, or maybe a fixed-mag AR that jams up on the first shot.

tl;dr: CA has a Castle Doctrine that makes other blue states envious, but the real problem is what guns you have left to use in those cases.

>>65600137
still got our shotguns, as recommended by uncle joe!

>>65600137
Shotgun would still work well for that, buckshot breaks bucks. Still, people should have the ability to choose their weapons, magazines, and ammunition.

>>65600366

That's about it. There's so many restrictions on centerfire semi-auto rifles (and semi-auto shotguns) in CA that manually operated shotguns are still a viable home defense choice. 18.5" cylinder bore and a paddle-style pistol grip for 26" OAL, or just get a legal 12-gauge AOW for $$$ from 2A Zone. Fuck 'em up with a cone of 00 buck.

i live in a smaller california town and i went los angeles last year. it's absolutely disgusting. i guess you probably get used to walking over homeless drug addicts (not an exaggeration since they're laying down nodding out in the middle of the sidewalk) but for normal people coming from any normal place california cities are going to seem like hell on earth because they are. it was a nice place architecturally but seeing that many homeless drug addicts washing their clothes in drinking fountains, causing issues for shop owners, and flashing everyone around them (including children) when i wasn't even there for a whole day made me feel retarded for thinking it's probably not that bad. it wasn't even a bad area it was a tourist district.

The southern states have more cultural influence than california and NY these days bro, thats how bleak It is

>>65602656
I'm from there and I never got used to it, in part because it's gotten so much worse over the last decade or so. (Since the wuflu, really.) What's always been weird to me is that the transplants from other places, who you'd think would be most appalled, are the ones who seem to brush it off the easiest, but I guess they're self-selecting and come to LA already so invested in their fantasies of what it represents and what they can be there that reality doesn't creep in - or it's just that only malignant narcissistic sociopaths would willingly move to LA in this day and age, which checks out too.

>>65593085
IMO it's really hard to beat CA for East Asian food, especially Chinese and Japanese. Only Seattle and NYC really come close. Otherwise I generally agree except for the "bagging a 6 figure job" part, I certainly don't know any locals who've managed it unless they were already rich and connected.

>>65602656
Part of it is other states ship their homeless here.

>>65581161
ah, you're a butthurt commiefornian, I thought you were a euro when you were crying in all those NFA threads

>>65603240
Related, if you like asian girls but can't afford to go to Asia, there's a lot of them here.

>>65603730
They ship themselves there because southern California has weather that supports living outside year 'round. It's a lot tougher in Fargo or Phoenix.

>>65603855
Oh I am aware of the why, my dad was a shop foreman for Greyhound at their Oakland depot and asked one of them after he noticed more and more homeless coming in on the buses. Guy he asked said other states wanted to solve their homeless problem so they started just buying homeless people tickets so the get back to their homes. All the homeless lie and say their from CA because hey sleeping outside is going to be a lot nicer on a beach in CA than it will be in Michigan. If there wad a bus to Hawaii they'd be dealing with this problem instead of us.

>>65602721
Sometimes it's unpredictable. Sometimes I need to drive anyway.

>>65603755
Sorta hard to meet once you're out of school though in my experience, it's hard to go anywhere with a decent Asian girl population without looking like a yellow fever guy trying to hook up with Asian girls. I grew up with a ton of Asians in school but once I was an adult most of the Asians I knew were either taken or were guys that I'd met through cars or anime cons and they didn't know any more eligible Asian girls than I did.

>>65594953
>flyover meth-head state.
Anyone who uses this term eventually outs himself as a leftist in moderate's clothing, good job. The fact that you'd willingly prefer to live with cucked gun laws, taxfucked everything, and seven shades of marxist culture because the weather is nice and you can buy authentic gookslop on a plate to feel diverse is fucking pathetic.

>>65604309
I've noticed many Californians have this weird izzat thing going on where they absolutely must defend California and insult you at all costs, even if the face of valid criticism or when they don't live there anymore and would never willingly go back.
>but muh weather
Yeah, 95 degrees all the time isn't my idea of good weather. I actually like having seasons.

>>65604678
Most people just constantly and indiscriminately shit on California though, so if you're noticing that, it's probably only because there is such overwhelming opportunity to do so. Talking shit about California may as well be a national fucking pastime at this point, maybe it gets a little old to some people.

>>65575788

Despite every naysayer, to live a miserable existence in California, I declined and moved to Maine in 2015. Zero regrets, absolutely enjoy having Colt and Franchi. Vote against every anti-2A measure and remind people what happened to California with those promises about "It's just about safety" that transformed into bans and mandatory buybacks. California will never get better, it will only ever get worse. The claims about food are bullshit by the way, it's not 1995 anymore.

>>65604678
It's rooted in projection. The less someone wants to confront the fact that their way of life is broken, the more shattered their fantasy is when you show them there are people living elsewhere who are thriving with less taxes/gun laws/gov involvement in private life etc. They often violently lash out in response to this with a flurry of ad-hominems, like literal children. This mentality is wildly common in antigunners, troons, and every shade of leftist (so most Californians) and fun to watch in action.

We have never, ever, had mandatory gun buy backs in california, they have always been voluntary events by the local pd.
Are you really from CA?

>>65605884
That actually did happen when CA banned a bunch of firearms by name. Hence why a bunch of manufacturers just changed their roll mark slightly and sold the same damn gun under a different name.

>>65605839
I would beat your ass in minecraft if you ever said that shit to my face.

>>65605953
I didnt argue the ban list. I argued the mandatory buy backs. I know things like the SPAS 12 are banned by name, but we never had a state enforced mandatory buy back, not even for banned guns. Banned guns were grandfathered in if you already bought it.

>>65604678
I'm a CA refugee myself, but moved somewhere I actively wanted to be and will shit on CA to anybody who'll listen. I see that attitude a lot from friends/acquaintances back home and ones who moved to some random place just because it was cheap. What's funny about a lot of California people is that they've either never really spent any time anywhere else, or grew up somewhere really shitty and moved to CA immediately after high school/college, so they've really got no actual frame of reference for the rest of the country and base their opinions completely on stereotypes and fiction.

It's sad to me too because I know a ton of people whose lives would be so much better elsewhere but they're convinced CA is the only option for them, like my little brother is an exceptional guitarist and could make a decent living in the area where I live now, just playing in some cover band doing paid bar and wedding gigs, but instead he's working like 80 hours a week doing 3 or 4 different part-time jobs (bartending, TV production grunt work, etc.), only getting sporadic music work that basically only pays the cost of getting there and maintaining the equipment, and barely scraping by having to live with roommates in a shitty area when he's 36 years old, and yet he's absolutely convinced that LA is the only place where he could possibly have a successful music career, and that's despite the fact that he's toured up and down the west coast a bunch and his old band used to do annual PNW tours *specifically* because they could be profitable there and make more money in 2-3 weeks on tour than the whole rest of the year in LA.

>>65605985
I would have sex with your mom in Minecraft.

>>65604678
I'm from California and I do see that as well but it's also fueled by simply wrong sentiments like "95 degrees all the time". I agree with most of the valid, real criticisms of this state since I and most of my friends bitch about them before its even known outside the state.

>people who have never been to CA shit on it because they heard things
>people who moved out of CA shit on it to try to fit in and be accepted
>people who don't hate California unconditionally are coping
doesn't add up

I travel a lot for work and I'm not even from CA, or the US for that matter. Been lucky enough to see a lot of the country. There's a lot I can't stand about this place. Like getting trapped when I moved here: rent being 60% of your take-home and groceries/gas the remaining 40% doesn't make moving easy, let alone retiring. But I'd take it over shitholes like MS or UT. Utah is fucking rotten, spiritually ugly, geographically desolate, and the people are cuckold cultist vermin. Most of TX is just an equally trashy, gender-swapped CA. The main reason these people just unconditionally spaz about their fellow countryment is because they're coping about what a fucking dump their state is.

I like Alabama and Ohio a lot. Lots of civilised black cuties near Cleveland eye-fucking me all week, I'd for sure go back. Want to see Oregon and Wisconsin.

Its a well funded effort to spread marxist/communist programs and ideology. They target California and New York especially and other big cities. The elections are rigged. Laugh and California all you want their efforts and corruption are spreading to more states. The goal is to ban private ownership of guns through continuous incremental regulation no matter how stupid, ever increasing taxes, uncontrolled goverment spending which is wasted, more immigration, more homeless. It is spreading across the US slowly but surely. They have control over education and the courts and most of the federal and state government elected and unelected officials. They take Texas and the other remaining key red states and you will get the same laws and restrictions and taxes.

Every day I'm impressed how gay the modern right is. You don't even have the balls to attempt your own genocides.

Reminder the feds forced California to be what it is.

The population voted against funding illegals. It voted against gay marriage.
Both overturned by federal judges undoing millions of votes.
A federal president gave amnesty. Federal law enforcement and prosecutors failed to stop illegals or punish their employers while claiming to hold all jurisdiction on the issue.

The feds forced the population to be replaced and it didn't start voting in favor of what it was forced to become until all the children of the illegals grew up into legal voting adults.

I figured out what's wrong with California, why it's so retarded.

Has anyone else transplanted from SoCal to NorCal, or the other way around? Have you noticed the glaring difference in intelligence of the white people? SoCal has more... questionably evolved "people" but in NorCal the whites are retarded white trash. Everything is done ass backwards. The roads seem to be set up by pants-on-head retards, you go the gym and the dumbells are arranged in a zigzag instead of a straight line (and it's at all gyms for some reason), you go to the store and they have potatoes in the refrigerated section and grapes left out at room temperature. I just can't figure out why they're so retarded out here and it's all white people. It makes it very hard to be racist when I'm surrounded by white retards, and this is why the state is so retarded. They run the government! I'm by Sacramento and it's the most retarded place I've ever lived, and I've lived all over in multiple different states. I think the gold rush brought a bunch of white trash retards here who thought they were gonna get rich finding gold but ended up working in the mines making smarter people rich. If this state were ran by SoCalers, it would be more logical, but the capitol is in a place where even the white people are complete retards. That seems to be how we ended up with retarded laws, our legal system is some fucked up 1850s shit with modern libshit bullshit mixed in. I've worked within the legal systems of multiple states and seriously the law books in California need to be completely scrapped and burned, it should be illegal to write laws like that, in fact it is there's tons of unconstitutional bullshit in there. Sorry for the rant but goddamn NorCal sucks beyond any metric I thought possible, it's got to be the worst place in the country. White trash retards but with libshit views, it's baffling.

>>65613354
LA and SF should be their own sovereign states with no say over people who don't live within the cities. As it stands the mass population cities are dictating the laws over people in rural and suburban areas, who don't want what they want, and sometimes vice versa. Something the city people want will get overturned or voted in place by the rural or suburban folk. Cities, even if landlocked, should be their own states and free to fuck themselves up as they please, without having to fight with ruralers or suburbanites to get the laws they want passed. They can be socialist "utopias" and we can have our guns and not be murdered in a home invasion by some imported primitive beast.

I call this the city-state solution and there's literally no flaws. No reason for us to constantly be at each other's throats over politics when different people from different environments want different things, based on their different needs and different lifestyles. That's the purpose of state sovereignty, it's self-determination. We also need to return to a confederation like we were upon our initial founding, over an overbearing federation like we have now. Some east coast retard should have little say over my life, the national government should only handle foreign matters such as trade and war, not micromanage the lives of people thousands of miles away with different cultures.

>>65617216

One flaw: The cities constantly try to expand and force everyone around them to be part of the city. We've seen this worldwide. Unless you wall them off and forbid expansion of any kind, this problem will persist.

I'm holding up by doing literally anything else. Hopefully I don't get thrown into the G.I Shmoe part of my life where I start buying faggot-ass gun coffee, TSTS polyester shirts, and spending my entire paycheck on guns I wont use. I have my couple and they're fine; my money is going to better places.

There really is something fucking wacky going on there. It's like a bizarro world where everything is retarded and ass backward. This was a hotel I stayed at, look at this fucking layout first of all. Normally a hotel has the first number indicating the floor level, here you have to go through a rat maze to find your room. The clerk drew an arrow to my room, and after wandering around lost for 20 minutes even though I had a map of the fucking ridiculous place, i finally found the building the arrow pointed to, only all the numbers were different. The room number started with a 2 despite being on the 3rd floor, yet the map says they start with 4 and the directions and hallways were different than the picture. Everything turns into an IQ puzzle because of how stupid everyone is and how stupidly they set everything up. Completely incapable morons, there are no functional human brain cells in the entirety of Excramento.
