California lawmakers on Tuesday moved to limit where firearms may be carried and who can have them, while struggling to stay within the high court’s ruling.
They aim to restrict concealed carry to those 21 and older; require applicants to disclose all prior arrests, criminal convictions and restraining or protective orders; require in-person interviews with the applicant and at least three character references; and allow sheriffs and police chiefs to consider applicants’ public statements as they weigh if the individual is dangerous.
Violate both the Second and First Amendment in a single blow!
Wanda Sykes likes it.
“The proposed legislation would bar concealed weapons from schools and universities, government and judicial buildings, medical facilities, public transportation, any place where alcohol is sold and consumed, public parks and playgrounds, and special events that require a permit.”
What I want to know: Will applicants have to provide photo ID?
Excellent question!
And you can bet that if they want to deny you a permit, they will find some “public statement” to justify it.
It doesn’t even have to be Internet-based. “Sorry, pal. Your neighbor said that five years ago you put a Trump sign in your front yard. That makes you an insurrectionist. No permit for you.”
It was a matter of time before government said ‘the hell with it’ and just went rogue. The moment Jefferson warned us about draws ever closer.
THIS is exactly how lefties are subverting court decisions, including those rendered by SCOTUS.
Now court cases will have to filed against these new “rules.”
So they just renamed “good cause” to “if the applicant is dangerous”
That's clearly delineated in the Second Amendment, right?
Including scrutinizing anything anyone ever said on social media sites that might be interpreted as "dangerous" by our overseers.
California, with soaring crime rates, will do everything it possibly ca to make sure you cannot protect yourself, your loved ones, your animals and your property.
If it is the LAW then the sheriffs need to cuff and arrest Newsom for breaking the law, if Newsom and his cronies decide the laws of the nation don’t have to be followed then arrest the bastards!!
Translation: We’re ignoring the ruling the Supreme Court just made.
Looking like New York is going the same way. In 2009 I retired and moved from Michigan to Ohio. A good choice, that. Michigan used to have a “purchase permit” system to buy a handgun. I expect they’ll follow CA and NY. Ohio just became a Constitutional Carry state.
How about prohibiti anyone who entered the country illegally or aided others doing this.
So if they say publicly, kill Trump they’re good to go. If they say, save defenseless babies and the elderly, they’re dangerous. Got it.
The Democrat Party exists to serve only the Democrat Party, and the Democrat Party obeys no authority other than the Democrat Paty.
California is going to be a target rich environment for gun rights lawyers for several years. The state will have to be slapped down several more times before they finally start to get it.
Well if the average age of a civilization from birth to death is 250 years then we have about 3.5 years left.
That takes us just past the next presidential inauguration.
Interesting possibilities, are they not?
Communist state. Already a giant loss to America.
Anyone who can is getting out of there asap
F-- ALL police and politicians ( dem or repub), they are the enemy, of course they want us disarmed
