"on the ballot in a general, state-wide election, permitting a majority of Californians to dictate to the legislature, the governor, and the courts that the right of the people to keep and bear arms in California shall not be infringed."

Cool. I lived in CA for awhile. I envy you your ballot initiative system. In PA, only the legislature can put something on the ballot!

It's powerful but cannot by itself make up for the lack of an explicit protection for the right to keep and bear arms. Too bad the Ninth Circus Court of Appeals seems hung up on the discredited "collective rights" nonsense with respect to the Second Amendment.

You don't perhaps have some pro-gun friends that you left behind who would be eager to hear about this campaign, do you? If so, spread the word. Even if they don't wish to volunteer, they may be able to steer others to the information. Thanks.

The other problem with CA is we can have out 9th circuit (made up of liberal judges) who knock down the public result of a vote all the time.
I think such an amendment will pass IMO.
The interviews from the Rodney King trial by some people made almost all of the suburbs arm themselves to the teeth in defense of their homes.

I hadn't heard of this before. I'll download the petition for signing and get signatures when they are at that stage.

In theory it's great, but the Ninth Circuit eventually overrides the will of the people.
