Judge Roger Benitez carefully explains how the California AG and the "expert" hired by California lied in their submissions to the Court.

Will they also try to outlaw trees and lumber?

hooray for California, even though we don’t have any such instruments ourselves

it is wonderful they have judge Benitez... may we all get good judges who value and protect our Constitutional rights.
or at least who are aware of our Constitutional rights...

Kalifornia is the bully.

Stock up on table legs, 2x4s and baseball bats.

"Caetano v Massachusetts"...2016. SCOTUS ruled,9-0,that the state's ban on stun guns violated the 2nd Amendment. In the decision they made reference to several previous rulings and referred to the state Supreme Court's ruling that the law did *not* violate 2nd Amendment rights as "frivolous".

There are many states that are passing "frivolous" laws that violate 2nd Amendment rights...Kalifornia being one of the worst offenders.

The Democrats really do what the public to be defenseless against the violent thugs among us.

Makes sense as that’s the primary characteristic of all their constituency groups.

I remember years ago they targeted Truck Drivers and "Tire Checkers" even though Tire Checkers were legal.

Probably because of the masculine name, “BILLY club”.

Bear arms doesn’t have to say only firearms.

About when I was in the police academy in 1971, the nomenclature was changing to “baton”.

(French for stick).

“LOL...how about my cane? They’re going to take an old man’s cane away!”

Don’t laugh. A few years ago some mouth breathing moron with a badge in Seattle assaulted an elderly black man and arrested him for using a golf club as a cane.

So the answer to your question is yes.

“Bear arms doesn’t have to say only firearms.”

In the days it was written it meant Swords too.

I actually prefer baseball bats. 34” long, 33 ounces in weight. Nothing quite like the sensation of ‘squaring one up’.

I'm in the market for a stout wooden cane with a substantial metal head.
For those unanticipated 'social occasions.'

I’m with you. I suspect we will be needing them someday.
