I agree about registering the guns. My pistols are registerd but my rifles aren't (I've had them for years before I moved to CA).

This essentially overturns the 9th Circus (not a typo) ruling that the 2nd Amendment is a collective right and not an individual right. That 9th Circus ruling has been the basis for upholding most of the state's draconian gun laws. My reading of the entire majority opinion leads me to believe that the state ban on military style weapons cannot stand. And my reading also leads me to believe that our commissars will have to make a choice between the shall issue concealed carry laws favored by forty plus states or open carry. That's because the right of citizens to bare arms was reaffirmed to mean carry in the majority discussion.

Fear not, our commissars will work tirelessly to find ways to get around the your rights, just as they have marginalized your vote. We can also count on the 9th Circus to ignore Heller to the best of their ability. Our own pistol packing Dianne Feinstein is very angry that the justices believe that constitutional rights apply to the people and not just the politically powerful such as herself. I think that we can count on her to redouble her efforts to shutdown all of those on talk radio that oppose her will.

With the exception of evil looking rifles California has never required registration of rifles. When you go in the store to buy a rifle all they do is run your ID for a background check. They do not register the rifle or report the serial number to the state.
