Concerning gun ownership/registration/whatever in California (and other states), I read some interesting news today. The 2nd Amendment as an individual right has become incorporated by the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. It should be at least a start to dismantling Cali's overzealous gun laws.

We therefore conclude that the right to keep and bear
arms is ÔÇ£deeply rooted in this NationÔÇÖs history and tradition.ÔÇØ
Colonial revolutionaries, the Founders, and a host of commentators
and lawmakers living during the first one hundred
years of the Republic all insisted on the fundamental nature
of the right. It has long been regarded as the ÔÇ£true palladium
of liberty.ÔÇØ Colonists relied on it to assert and to win their
independence, and the victorious Union sought to prevent a
recalcitrant South from abridging it less than a century later.
The crucial role this deeply rooted right has played in our
birth and history compels us to recognize that it is indeed fundamental,
that it is necessary to the Anglo-American conception
of ordered liberty that we have inherited.17 We are
therefore persuaded that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment incorporates the Second Amendment and
applies it against the states and local governments

After a little google search on what this means:

Interesting.
