Gun owners can apply for a single certificate to cover multiple weapons. “Two credible referees for a firearm and one for a shotgun must be provided before a licence can be issued.” “Existing laws also require a home visit by the police for first-time applicants, to ensure they have utmost confidence in an individual's suitability to own a gun with no risk to public. Home Office guidelines state: “Applicants should be able to demonstrate to the police that they require their firearm on a regular, legitimate basis for work, sport or leisure (including collections or research).” Those wanting a schedule one firearm, such as a rifle, have to have a “good reason” to own the weapon but shotgun applicants do not have to.

California Goes Full 'Woke' on Banking Discrimination Against ... (National Shooting Sports Foundation)

It would be easy to say this is California taking the opposing track to what Texas did with the Firearm Industry Nondiscrimination (FIND) Act. That's the law ...

Sen. Rep. Fund managers aren’t picking the best performing portfolios, rather they are investing other people’s money to buoy special interests – in this case denying investment into firearm-related businesses at the behest of gun control. Of course, gun control activists who have been having little luck in passing irrational legislation, are also targeting pension funds nationwide to urge divestment. The goal of this bill obviously is to drive the firearm industry out of existence, and with it the ability of law-abiding Americans to exercise their right to acquire firearms for lawful purposes including self-protection. That’s the responsibility of Congress to regulate – not California. Min’s proposed legislation is a state-level Operation Choke Point, the illegal coercion by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to discriminate against firearm manufacturers and businesses. California currently reports $63.3 billion in total General Obligation bonds outstanding. According to the World Economic Forum, it is [set to surpass](https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/11/california-s-economy-may-surpass-germany-s-but-what-s-beneath-the-numbers/) Germany’s economy. Those corporate banks are free to discriminate if they choose, but forfeit the ability to profit from Texas taxpayer-funded contracts. The bill would affect every aspect of California’s finances, including municipal bonds, capital projects and the state’s debt. Never underestimate the ability of California lawmakers to embrace the wildest ideas when it comes to eliminating gun rights.
