If you want to know who put the "K" in "Kalifornia" it was NRA/Calguns/prag-supported sellout bastards like this one.

Trutanich shows real public nuisances are politicians who discard supporters
A story reported in March by CBS Los Angeles about a draft ordinance to confiscate “public nuisance clips” has been gaining notice recently, and a commonality many gun rights advocates commenting on it shares is they’re missing a key element, probably because most don’t know the back story.
Most are focused on the outrageousness of demanding such tyrannical action, which are actually unsurprising considering where this is happening, and considering the anti-gun fanatic who proposed the ordinance, L.A. City Councilmember Paul Krekorian. Few are remarking on the hypocritical irony of City Attorney Carmen Trutanich not only drafting it, but adding his personal endorsement.
“We believe this ordinance supports Councilmember Krekorian’s interest in getting high-capacity ammunition magazines off our streets,” Trutanich remarked. “Cities across the country must stand up to America’s gun violence epidemic and do whatever possible to save lives and spare families from the needless tragedy of firearm death and injury.”
Why is this hypocritical and ironic?
“Before he became city attorney, Trutanich's law firm represented the National Rifle Association in litigation against L.A. and other jurisdictions that passed gun control laws,” LA Weekly reminded readers. “Trutanich got the NRA endorsement in 2009, and said at the time that he did not see a need for new gun control measures. When he was criticized on the issue during that campaign, he said that his law partner, Chuck Michel, handled the NRA cases."

Turncoats like this make my blood boil. Now a city attorney beholden to a POS mayor. Burn in hell, the lot of them.

Kinda like NRA teaming up with DEMOCRATS in Illinois to pass "the strictest shall issue legislation in the country" that BANS the carrying of RIFLES , when in just DAYS we will be able to legally and lawfully carry pistols and rifles openly or concealed absent any carry permission slip structure.

The NRA is actively undermining the exercise of the RIGHT to bear arms in Illinois. All while CLAIMING how hard it's working for the Second Amendment. It's CONNING followers into begging for permission slips when all that HAS to happen is WAIT for June 9!
The court already ordered that the BAN on carry is unconstitutional. Citizens have ALREADY WON- there is no need for legislation. The NRA is acting nefariously and should be called out in each and every example of it.

This is why in 2007 I tendered my resignation from NRA's life membership just a few years after becoming a GOA lifer.

When I learned from 2004 forward just how much the NRA had done to betray gun owners, I resolved to never contribute to their coffers ever again, but instead educate gunowners and recommend to them that they join GOA instead.
