"Are guns illegal in California?"
It sure as hell ain't for lack of trying. Cut out the "red county" influence out here, and you would see how long it would take. Think San Francisco, not Orange County.
A "nation" comprised of the people Bowser is talking about would eagerly outlaw guns, SUVs, smoking, fattening foods, spitting on the sidewalk, and a lot of other things on the leftist wish list.*
Imagine an entire state run like the local government of Washington D.C.
I figure five years before Bowsertopia would have to build a wall to keep people in.
