Right to repair should have a headline all on its own. That's so huge.

Yeah that sounds great.

How does one get one of those manuals, tools, and parts according to the law?

On those drug testing kits, does that mean I would be able to demand testing of every drink I order?

I've tried looking them up and the only reference I could find to price was from 2018 where they were retailing for five to seven dollars a piece.

It also appears to only be for a certain type of liquor license that sells spirits. I guess you can't roofie a beer or a glass of wine?

I like the idea, but I see a whole lot of kinks to get worked out.

Edit: I found twenty tests for fifteen dollars on Amazon, so maybe those 2018 prices were incorrect.

It sounds like it, but you’d have to pay for the tests, so I doubt many would do this unless they had reason to be concerned.

11% tax on guns and ammo. CA continuing to push firearm ownership further into a privilege only for the well to do.

Why is California, a pro-abortion state, taxing the tools for late-late-stage abortion so heavily? /s

[–] comador@lemmy.world -2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So? Drive to NV or AZ and get it there. Sadly not much different than those in red states in need of an abortion.

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world -2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Similar playbook to abortion and voter id laws in some respects. Unless you can find a CA compliant firearm in NV/AZ, meaning max 10 rd mags and no semi auto center fire rifles with assault features, at a minimum, that’s a no go. Importing ammo to CA privately is also generally prohibited.

Being honest, I travel once a year to visit family in AZ and pick up both cf and ap rounds on my way back, never once had an issue. Even got checked once and they didn't care when I told them I had 8 boxes of ammo. I buy .380, 9mm and 12ga rounds only though. Never bought mags, but I doubt the sellers would care and my only risk is getting checked by some hard liner on my way back.
