That’s such a shitty/hypocritical catch phrase. In 1989 when CA passed the Roberti-Roos List (CA Assault Weapons Ban), it was the government that made the guns illegal. When the law was passed, the state was required to notify via commonly read newspapers, or PSA on TV – either of which rarely transpired. People found out by word of mouth!
Found on CalGuns.net, an old “PSA.”
I am glad I live in a free state
I’m not a Californian, so when I saw that headline “why make a legal gun illegal” I assumed it was about the passing of laws that foolishly called on type of gun illegal and another not. Wouldn’t have guessed it was a sales attempt for a “forgiveness period” (and there’s another amazing turn of phrase) for registration. My heart goes out to freedom loving people int he state of California, I wish you better luck in the future then you’ve had in the past.
