California gun laws and our 2nd Amendment

California law makers cannot take away our 2nd Amendment. But, they can restrict the heck out of it. What these law makers do, is make rules so strict that gun manufacturers don't bother making California compliant weapons. Why would they change their whole line of weapons to satisfy California, one state of 50? Here is just one example of their restrictions:

SB 489 (Stats. 2003, ch.500) (Scott) (2003 bill - Provisions are operative beginning 1/1/2006) Requires that effective January 1, 2006, no semiautomatic centerfire pistol model may be added to the roster of handguns certified for sale in California unless it has a chamber load indicator or, if it has a detachable magazine, a magazine disconnect mechanism...http://ag.ca.gov/firearms/infobuls/0602.pdf#xml=http://search.doj.ca.gov:8004/AGSearch/isysquery/01695434-fc7b-4c5c-94db-3df1eb38accc/1/hilite/

What the heck!? This is asinine! There is no reason at all to require guns to have a magazine disconnect (meaning the gun will not fire the remaining round in the chamber with the magazine released)! Say you are in a struggle with a perpetrator, he releases the magazine on your gun but because your gun is "California legal", you cannot fire the last round in your gun and you are left to club your attacker. It just doesn't make sense. The only reason for this law is to make it harder for guns to be sold in California.
