Even in California, home to some of the nation’s strictest firearms laws, a bill requiring parents to tell school officials if they keep guns in the house went too far to move ahead in the Legislature.

It failed Wednesday in its first committee vote after facing opposition from the American Civil Liberties Union and National Rifle Association, two groups rarely on the same page. It died even after Democratic Sen. Anthony Portantino promised to make major revisions if it survived. He said it could help prevent mass shootings. As written, it would have required parents or guardians with a student in a public or charter school to annually disclose if they have any firearms at home. https://www.kdrv.com/news/gun-control-bill-targeting-parents-fails-to-pass-in-california-legislature/article_46b306e0-b116-11ec-a7b8-33e002971dff.html

How many criminals will 'report' their stolen firearms to schools? It does not matter what kind of 'control' the liberal/communists want on firearms, they always ignore the Fact, that the criminal will Never follow it and does Not Care if they make a million new gun control laws for them to ignore.

The law will give LE a tool to target law abiding parents for weapon confiscation. Your child gets in a fight at school and cops swarm your house. Your kid makes a sketchy comment on social media, same response. Anything can be used as a pretext once cops have access to this information.
