California lawmakers are upping the ante on gun control. Last week saw a flurry of gun control bills passed out of both the Senate and the Assembly, including banning virtually every new semiautomatic weapon, new registration requirements, banning magazines that hold more than 10 rounds (no grandfathering), requiring an annual ammunition permit, the list goes on and on.
