California Seeks to Eliminate All Gun Dealers

The Spanish Governor of California General Castro...  seceded California to Captain Fremont.. .  without a fight and returned to Mexico...then Captain Fremont had issues also..lol: 

Captian John C. Frémont

John C. Frémont, one of the United States’ leading western explorers in the 1830s and 1840s, was born in Savannah, Georgia in 1813. He joined the U.S. Topographical Engineers in 1838 and earned a national reputation for his reports on the American West. In early 1846, Captain Frémont and a small mapping expedition arrived along the border of Mexican California.
Whether by accident or design, Frémont soon plunged into local political intrigue. After several dustups with locals, Frémont encountered a force of Anglo immigrants and disgruntled Californios who advocated a Texas style insurgency to force California into American hands. These agitators declared California as the Bear Flag Republic in June 1846 and Frémont declared himself the U.S. commander in California and led the insurgents and his regulars in a campaign to neutralize all Mexican resistance. The arrival of U.S. Commodore John D. Sloat and a naval expedition added momentum to the campaign, and, by the end of the summer, all of California had fallen to U.S. forces.
Frémont then declared himself military governor of the conquered province. When Brigadier General Stephen Watts Kearny arrived later in the year, the men feuded and Kearny had Frémont arrested and hauled before a court martial. The sensational trial made an even greater celebrity out of Frémont, but he resigned his commission in the army in protest.
After the U.S-Mexican War, Frémont served as U.S. senator from California and, in 1856, became the first Republican candidate for president of the United States. He served in the Union army during the Civil War, and afterward was territorial governor of Arizona. He died in New York City in 1890, one of the most celebrated personalities of the Nineteenth Century.

side note: 

José Antonio Castro (born Monterey, 1808 – died February 1860) was acting governor of Alta California in 1835-1836, and Commandante General of the Mexican army in Alta California at the time of the 1846 Bear Flag Revolt in and the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848.
He was the son of Jose Tiburcio Castro, a soldier, member of the diputacion (legislature), and administrator of secularized Mission San Juan Bautista. Jose Castro's first public office was as secretary to the Monterey ayuntamiento (town council).

In 1830, he was arrested for his opposition to the Mexican governor of Alta California. By 1835 he was the First Member (Vocal Primero) of the legislature and acting governor. Along with Juan Bautista Alvarado, he was a vocal opponent of Mexican governors and sought a semi-independent status for Alta California. He was a chief participant in the overthrow of Governor Gutierrez in 1836, becoming Commandante General and Governor, as president of the legislature.

When Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo became Commandante General, Castro became Lieutenant-Colonel of militia in 1837-38. Once again he was appointed First Member of the Diputacion as well as Prefect of the Monterey District. In 1839, Castro acquired Rancho San Justo, one of three ranchos attached to Mission San Juan Bautista, after the secularization of Mission property by the Mexican government in 1835.

In 1840, Castro arrested and transported foreigners in California to San Blas. In 1844-45, he became a leader of the revolt against Mexican Governor Manuel Micheltorena, once again becoming Commandante General of California, checking John C. Frémont's movements, and leading California forces against the Americans. Departing for Mexico in August 1846, where he resided in Sinaloa, he returned to California in 1848. By 1853, he returned to Mexico where he was appointed governor and military commander of Baja California.
Castro never surrendered his Mexican citizenship nor military rank. In February 1860, Governor Castro was assassinated by the bandit Marguez.

Talk about infringing on the Second Amendment! Not only is the State of California targeting honest gun owners with totalitarian gun laws and limit purchases of firearms, but they are actually seeking to implement legislation that would ban all home FFL dealers from the state and impose Orwellian-style regulations on existing gun stores to the point where they would not be able to stay in business.
Guns in the News reports:
To start, AB 2459 will ban all home FFL dealers. There are hundreds of them in the state, and they may serve areas where a traditional brick and mortar store wouldn't prosper.

Rural residents would be denied their right to defend themselves. They could not legally purchase a firearm unless they drove hours to a larger population area. 


For traditional gun stores, the remaining two portions of the bill could drive them out of business.

• AB 2459 would then force all gun dealers to video record all areas of their store wherever firearms or ammunition are stored, displayed, carried, handled, sold, or transferred, including, but not limited to, counters, safes, vaults, cabinets, shelves, cases, and entryways.
  
• Adding to the Orwellian-ness, gun dealers will have to spend thousands of dollars on storing the high-quality data for up to 10 years on-site, turning each gun store that can afford it into a high capacity hard drive that most tech firms would be jealous of. 
  Assuming a gun dealer is still in business after the first two requirements, the last one will do them in.
  
  AB 2459 mandates a first in the world form of insurance– an unobtainable policy that covers the criminal acts of second, third and fourth parties using a firearm or ammunition from the store in question, even if the retailer is in fact the victim of the crime or if the gun or ammo was stolen from the store. Petitions are being signed now to oppose the bill.
  The state killed legislation that repeals unconstitutional laws. For instance, AB 2229 was designed to remove a 10-day waiting period to purchase a gun, citing the US District Court case Silvester v. Harris. The Harris case found the 10-day waiting period violates the Second Amendment of those who successfully pass the standard background check prior to 10 days and who are in lawful possession of an additional firearm, possess a Certificate of Eligibility, or have a CCW.
  Additionally, California is seeking to kill AB2508, which would have allowed handguns to be reinstated to California's diminishing Handgun Roster if it did not fail a safety test, allowing the handgun manufacturer to make necessary improvements based on customer feedback and supply chain changes.
  Since the right to keep and bear arms should be understood as a God-given right (Declaration of Independence) and not a right given by the state, the state should not be involved in any type of regulation or restriction of firearms. California is not following the law. It is a lawless state and it's becoming more apparent every day.
