A Federal Judge Looks at a California
Gun Law and Says, 'Bye!'

Original Article

Posted By: Hazymac, 3/23/2023 11:13:04 AM

California’s “gun roster” law has been ruled unconstitutional, and the judge has ordered a preliminary injunction to stop it. And with the decision, a major Leftist anti-gun trope was targeted. California U.S. District Court Judge Cormac J. Carney ruled that the California Unsafe Handgun Act’s creation of a “gun roster” of acceptable handguns for serfs to own is unconstitutional and ordered an injunction stopping its implementation. Expect it to be appealed by the defendant in the case, California’s Attorney General Robert Bonta, though he doesn’t have much left to go on after this decision. This so-called “gun roster” is a list of handguns that state apparatchiks allow California serfs to own.

If you haven't been following this, the CA legislature is trying to get around the 2nd Amendment by maintaining a roster of 'State approved' guns. Others are not allowed to be sold to the public. Those approved guns must have features that aren't available anywhere and are absurd on their face. The decision in this case was correct.

Although I prefer guns with a simple action, this “gun roster” is a significant step toward a gun ban.

Not a lawyer, but isn't there an issue with the equal protect clause in the 14th amendment. If a state has more stringent requirements on the 2nd amendment, isn't than denying there citizens of equal protection of their 2nd amendment constitutional right?

Unfortunately, even if or when this is stuck down, they have a ton of other half-baked unconstitutional schemes/laws to follow. All the while our rights are held up in litigation limbo forever. Until SCOTUS stops remanding all these cases back down to the lower courts to reconsider, with a stern warning of course, nothing will change. SCOTUS must take each one of these cases and rule on them immediately and let it be known it will continue to do so. My two cents...

The SCOTUS ruling in the Bruen case requires all future gun cases be decided on the basis of the judicial standard of 'strict scrutiny ', which makes it much harder for the government to claim that they have "a good reason" for violating our constitutional rights. More gun laws, some which have stood for decades, will be falling aa new cases are litigated.

Maybe it's time for a mandatory class that would teach all about gun safety, how to hold, load, and store a firearm in the correct manner. Show the dangers too, so people know what could happen if used improperly. Always keep in mind, it's legal to own a firearm in Mexico, but they have VERY strict laws to obtain one, yet it does not seem to have deterred many there from possessing them either.

Anybody above the IQ level of Alec Baldwin knows that you don't "accidentally" point a gun at anybody or leave it where a child can reach it. Many of these hours-long and sometimes days-long classes can repeat this information multiple times and those who do not care about human life will still shoot somebody. Again, it's not the gun, it's the nut behind it.

Like most big cities, Chicago has a crime problem. The city is not unique in that respect, nor is it unique in residents charging the police with racism, brutality, and the targeting of minorities. But Chicago is afflicted with a deadly combination: a police department that walks on eggshells for fear of being accused of brutality, thus making far fewer arrests, and a local prosecutor who believes it’s more important to impose her idea of “restorative justice” than enforce the law. The city’s police department is under a Department of Justice consent decree that does little to address the real, systemic problems on the Chicago police force but adds reams

The warning signs are all over the place — if you know where to look. “Extremism researchers” are telling us that the blood-chilling threats coming from right-wing message boards and websites are just like the ones that preceded the January 6 riot at the Capitol — you know, that highly organized attack made with stealth and cunning and the precision of Navy SEALs? The problem is that even federal authorities are saying there’s no sign of any organized unrest. There are a lot of brain-dead threats against Alvin Bragg, the prosecutor who indicted Donald Trump. But as far as a “call to arms” that many on the left say Trump made

Hillsdale College, a revered institution at which I have had the honor to lecture on several occasions, revoked the Tallahassee Classical School’s license to use its curriculum after the Florida institution fired its principal for showing a photo of Michelangelo’s nude statue of David without notifying parents. At least one parent considered the image pornographic. Hillsdale explained, “This drama around teaching Michelangelo’s ‘David” sculpture, one of the most important works of art in existence, has become a distraction from, and a parody of, the actual aims of classical education. Of course, Hillsdale’s K-12 art curriculum includes Michelangelo’s ‘David’ and other works of art that depict the human form.

Things have been coming up all roses for transgender performance artist and social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney, purveyor of the infamous “365 Days of Girlhood” TikTok propaganda series. It’s been a banner week in the Mulvaney household (his household being a lonely apartment for one in Manhattan somewhere), as reportedly, per the Daily Mail, “Dylan Mulvaney’s man-to-girl transition has won her TikTok fame, riches, and allies in the White House, but left her lonely and undateable.” TikTok influence can’t buy happiness, but it can buy access to the neoliberal ruling elite, which has bathed Mulvaney in unending admiration since he began making delusional, self-indulgent “transition” videos a year ago.

The two big stories this week illustrate the corruption of the legal system and of the Democrat party, which controls key portions of it. As well, they illustrate the media’s continuing effort to deny us the truth we see with our own eyes. The Indictment of President Trump New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Jr. has indicted former President Trump. Arraignment is scheduled on Tuesday. Sometime before then we are likely to see the charges against him, which reportedly -- as is the normal order of weak cases -- run to over 20 counts. Charging so many counts is a prosecutorial trick based on experience: Some jurors may think the more counts

The scene is as old as history. An individual fleeing persecution wants to cross a border. His or her life depends on being able to bribe a border guard, with some fungible valuable item: whether gold, cash, silver, diamonds, etc. Life depends on it. If the trade is prevented, then all hope is lost. From the dawn of time, currency was the one thing that governments had difficulty tracking.

Is the title of this piece apocalyptic hyperbole? I wish it were. But everyone in the country and most of the people in the wide world know that Donald Trump has not actually been indicted for the crime of giving hush money to a prostitute. He has been indicted for the crime of opposing the Leftist elites and challenging their control over the political system. For the first time in American history, a politician – indeed, a front-running presidential candidate – has been indicted in order to destroy his political chances. Americans used to take pride in the fact that such things didn’t happen in the United States of America.

The tragic shootings in Tennessee this week have unsurprisingly brought out the worst in progressive media. Although three of the victims were children, a fact that should dominate the coverage of such a terrible crime, mainstream outlets have spent an inordinate amount of time lamenting the “increased danger” to transgender people after learning the shooter identified as transgender. Now comes word that one outlet actually went so far as to ban reporters from using the term “transgender” to describe the transgender shooter. In an exclusive report on Thursday, The New York Post revealed CBS News executives sent out a memo demanding

Former CEO of failed crypto exchange FTX Sam Bankman-Fried was already ordered to live every millennial’s nightmare and move back in with his parents. Now, prosecutors have laid out how SBF is being grounded, curtailing his ability to access the internet or even play any online video games.

Now for the third day in a row, trans activists have stormed another state capitol. This time, it’s Florida.

Everything about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is shallow fakery and manipulative astroturf.The term “astroturf” is given whenever a political operation attempts to generate the illusion of support where little to no support exists. Astroturf politics is pure fabrication and highlights the smallness of the candidate for whom the astroturf operation is conducted. In republican national politics we saw astroturf operations around Carly Fiorina and Ted Cruz in 2016, so it doesn’t come as a surprise to see the same individual’s surface again as hired by Team DeSantis to create his 2024 astroturf campaign.

Conservative Republicans know that if this assault is allowed to stand, they will be next. The left, as well as the rabble of never-Trump Republicans, like to tell everybody that the unprecedented measures taken against Trump – culminating with this week’s indictment – are justified because he poses a unique threat to our precious democracy. Just to review, we’re talking about measures like Democrats impeaching him twice on the flimsiest of grounds. Like federal law enforcement

The Biden administration is preparing to implement a sweeping nationwide ban on commonly used light bulbs as part of its energy efficiency and climate agenda. The regulations, which prohibit retailers from selling incandescent light bulbs, were finalized by the Department of Energy (DOE) in April 2022 and are slated to go into effect on Aug. 1, 2023. The DOE will begin full enforcement of the ban on that date, but it has already urged retailers to begin transitioning away from the light bulb type and, in recent months, begun issuing warning notices to companies.
