California Uses Texas Abortion Tactic To Go After Guns
From The Office of the Governor:
Alongside California Attorney General Rob Bonta, legislators and local leaders, Governor Gavin Newsom today announced a new package of meaningful gun safety legislation to expand the state’s nation-leading protections against gun violence. The package includes a measure the Governor called for in December to help hold the gun industry accountable through private lawsuits, and a bill that would prohibit advertising of certain categories of weapons to children.
LA Sheriff Stripped Of Powers Over Mandate Refusal
From Insider.com:
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors decided on Tuesday to relieve Sheriff Alex Villanueva of the responsibility to enforce COVID-19 vaccine mandates, according to board documents viewed by Insider. The Los Angeles Times first reported the story.
The decision to strip him of the responsibility comes after Villanueva has for months refused to enforce the mandate.
Court: California Violated Constitution By Shutting Down Gun Stores
From Bearing Arms:
Two California counties violated the Constitution’s right to keep and bear arms when they shut down gun and ammunition stores in 2020 as nonessential businesses during the coronavirus pandemic, a federal appeals court ruled Thursday.
Union Pacific Scolds LA For Train Robberies
From Bearing Arms:
“Since December 2020, UP has experienced an over 160% increase in criminal rail theft in Los Angeles County. In several months during that period, the increase from the previous year surpassed 200%. In October 2021 alone, the increase was 356% over compared to October 2020. Not only do these dramatic increases represent retail product thefts – they include increased assaults and armed robberies of UP employees performing their duties moving trains.â€
More Hispanics Are Pro-Gun
From The Truth About Guns:
The Axios/Ipsos poll asked Hispanic-Americans about their top concerns and crime and violence came in at the number two spot at 30 percent – behind only COVID worries at 37 percent. Per Axios, “The finding is a warning for President Biden ahead of next year’s midterms.†A similar Wall Street Journal poll from a week earlier showed Hispanic voters are turning away from Democrats, typically supportive of more gun control, and are now nearly evenly split between their party preference.
The Rich Are Arming Themselves
From The New York Post:
“I’ve always been anti-gun,†said Debbie Mizrahie of Beverly Hills. “But I am right now in the process of getting myself shooting lessons because I now understand that there may be a need for me to know how to defend myself and my family. We’re living in fear.â€
California Upholds Gun Magazine Ban
From The Reload:
An en banc panel at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the state’s prohibition on magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. In the case Duncan v. Bonta, the 7-4 court found that the ban does not violate the Second Amendment.
“Nothing in the record suggests that the restriction imposes any more than a minimal burden on the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms,†Judge Susan P. Graber wrote in her opinion. “Similarly, the record suggests at most a minimal burden, if any burden at all, on the right of self-defense in the home.â€
CA Governor Goes Attacks Gun Shows
From NRA:
The bill, S.B. 264, “prohibits officers, employees, operators, lessees, or licensees of the 32nd District Agricultural Association from entering into any agreement to allow for the sale of any firearm, firearm parts, or ammunition on property that comprise the [Orange County] Fair and Event Center, or properties in Orange County and Costa Mesa that are owned, leased, operated, or occupied by the District,†as reported by the NRA Institute for Legislative Action (ILA).
Is California’s Law Causing Supply Delays?
From TuckingInfo.com:
So I believe President Joe Biden and his administration have a big blind spot when it comes to labor issues. He seems to think that labor unions are the only answer, and that independent contractors are all like exploited sweatshop workers.
But a great many independent contractors, inside trucking and out, don’t want to be employees. They value the freedom and entreprenuerial spirit that working primarily, or even entirely, for a single company as a contractor offers, while it also provides some stability in having regular work.
CA Gun Owner Info To Be Used By Researchers
From Bearing Arms:
California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law last week A.B. 173, which among other things gives various academics, most of them very likely to be hostile to private gun ownership, access to all the information California collects about the state’s buyers of guns, gun parts, and ammunition.
How Will San Francisco Enforce Ban On Homemade Guns?
From San Francisco Chronicle:
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Tuesday unanimously voted to outlaw the sale and possession of “ghost gun†kits and parts in the city, marking a key moment in what is emerging as a statewide battle against the untraceable weapons.
The ordinance allows police and the city attorney’s office to go after manufacturers and providers who profit off the sale of ghost gun kits and parts. Officials would be able to build up trafficking cases against them. Each violation or sale of a part would be punishable by a $1,000 fine.
Breakdown Of Judge Benitez’s 2A Ruling
From Ammoland:
This case is not about extraordinary weapons lying at the outer limits of Second Amendment protection. The banned “assault weapons†are not bazookas, howitzers, or machine guns. Those arms are dangerous and solely useful for military purposes. Instead, the firearms deemed “assault weapons†are fairly ordinary, popular, modern rifles. This is an average case about average guns used in average ways for average purposes.
The Guardian Discusses California Ruling
From The Guardian:
Nationally, though, handguns are used in the majority of gun murders, with rifles listed as the murder weapon in fewer than 4% of murders from 2010 to 2014, according to FBI data.
“While bans on military-style weapons are very popular in the gun safety movement, these guns are popular firearms, they’re not used relatively often to commit crimes, and most of the crimes committed with these weapons could and would be easily committed with handguns or other substitutes,†Winkler says.
Time To Rectify Heller
From The Federalist:
Heller adopted the nonsense whole cloth. Ironically, the opinion was written by Justice Scalia, renowned as the court’s great originalist. Ironic, in that there is nothing in the legislative history of the Second Amendment to support a “common use†test.
As Judge Benitez wrote, “The command of the Amendment is that the right to keep and bear arms ‘shall not be infringed.’†Not some arms, but “Arms.†And not “infringed too much,†but “infringed†at all.
