Permit Me?

Gun Owners of America (GOA), Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), and Gun Owners of California (GOC) joined forces with the California Rifle & Pistol Association and the Second Amendment Foundation to achieve a significant victory. Together, they secured an order implementing a preliminary injunction in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, compelling the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the La Verne Police Department, and state of California to allow their non-resident members to apply for concealed carry permits.

I could have applied before. Will this require them to grant one?

Then again, I got by from 1981 through to 2007 (when we moved) without one, which I admit made things more dangerous since I didn’t dare file a police report…

Here We Go Again

Recall Effort For Governor Newsom To Start Accepting Signatures [Watch]

These videos would be a lot more useful if they gave a link so viewers could sign up.

Say they succeed: Will California Republicans betray principled voters again like they did with Arnhole, or give them — including gun owners– a candidate who makes a dime’s worth of difference?

So It’s Not About Principle

HB 1386 creates an additional 11% excise tax on the sale of all ammunition in the state. Firearms and ammunition are already subject to an 11% federal excise tax through the Pittman-Robertson Act, along with a variety of other state and local taxes and fees. The NRA has current litigation against California’s similar 11% excise tax, and will be present at the hearing to oppose this bill. [More]

So 11% taxes are praiseworthy when they benefit Fudds but bad when they benefit gun-grabbers…?

It’s Showtime!

The U.S. Supreme Court has distributed a third Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) case, B&L Productions v. Newsom, for conference on Friday, Jan. 24. The case challenges California’s statutes which ban gun shows on state-owned property. Because the gun shows at issue are not only opportunities to view and purchase firearms, but also for like-minded individuals to assemble and share ideas, the case presents questions about both the First and Second Amendments. [More]

Having followed this issue for many years, I say apathetic gun show attendees own their share of the mess they’ve allowed. They’re no doubt part of the majority that don’t contribute to efforts like this to clean up that mess.

Shall Not Be Infringed Unless…

We learned that the denials were due to font sizes that were too small, the lack of compliant visual indicators, and so forth. We have just received additional responsive documents from the DOJ which explain their position that, pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, the explanatory text for the CLIs must be permanently displayed by engraving, stamping, etching, molding, casting, or other means of permanent marking. If the explanatory text can be removed, such as with acetone, that will NOT be sufficient for roster approval. [More]

Now they’re just being d!cks.

This is one of the things we ought to be pressing Trump on:

Imagine now the Department of Justice under an actual Second Amendment advocate, and what it could do fighting infringements and prohibitionist lawfare waged by states with unlimited tax war chests in tandem with Astroturf prohibitionist groups funded by antigun elites. Right now, the costs to defend against these innumerable assaults on all levels are borne by gun rights groups and members of mostly modest means who can only support a fraction of what is needed. That equation could be turned on its head.

That presupposes Pam Bondi’s inclination to demand infringements can be reined in and reversed.

We’ll Tell You What Your Rights Are

In 2025, several new gun laws will go into effect in California. [More]

More attacks on RKBA, due process, self-incrimination protections, and privacy rights, while dragooning dealers into spreading the state’s terms of surrender…

You’ve got to scroll down to find them. The “real reporter” figured we needed to hear Kamala and Joe prove they’re cluelsss how the election went and demand more infringements on everybody first because of Madison.

Question about Sec. 34210: Do you see anything in there prohibiting dealers from putting a stamp on the pamphlet warning customers it’s state-mandated bull$h!+? I guess if they wanna stay open, because the vindictive bastards don’t neeed laws to persecute…

Must Be the Gun’s Fault…

Mentally ill Calif. school shooter fired at kids as ‘countermeasure’ for US involvement in ‘genocide of Palestinians’ [More]

“[A] long history of mental health issues, alarming criminal behavior, and past stints in prison,” eh?

And let’s hear if for California gun laws!

Slipping at the Blood Dance

Look at the comments. People aren’t buying it anymore.

[Via Jess]

We’re the Only Ones Threatened Enough

California Allegedly Threatens Police Officers Over Deportation Compliance – CA mayor: The State of California “is threatening to take pensions and charge police officers with felonies if they comply with federal deportation laws.” [More]

Maybe this will let us see what Pam Bondi is made of, and if she can enforce immigration law, why can’t she enforce the Second Amendment?

Government Practices Ritual Animal Sacrifices

California county pays up after illegally seizing child’s pet goat – That goat, Cedar, was ultimately slaughtered after local authorities tracked him down like a fugitive. [More]

Looks like I’m gonna need to design another shirt.

I guess Peanut and Fred weren’t enough to satisfy the bloodlust.

The Results of Compliance

California keeps a database on on firearm owners in that state that is extremely extensive and there’s really no way to get around that in that state… [Watch]

AB 574?

This bill would, beginning on March 1, 2025, additionally require the register or record to include the acknowledgment by the purchaser or transferee that they have, within the past 30 days, confirmed possession of every firearm that they own or possess.

Well, there actually is a way to get around it, but it comes with a risk. And I do still have mine, and it’s safe from them.

That post, incidentally, elicited all kinds of vitriol from bloviating anonymous keyboard warriors on AR15.com, including comments like “Reads like GOA bullshit. Stopped reading after I’d seen enough.” and “Interview with treasonous communist shitheads that will hopefully choke on a chicken bone and die.”

And people wonder why I don’t join forums…

According to His Nature

The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says California Gov. Gavin Newsom is a hypocrite for signing a law barring local governments from requiring voter identification, while still expecting gun buyers to provide ID before exercising their Second Amendment rights. [More]

Same question I asked here…

So… does this mean they’re reconsidering…?

On with the Show!

Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners in parallel cases challenging California’s ban on gun shows held on public property have filed an emergency application with the U.S. Supreme Court asking that a Ninth Circuit Court mandate be recalled, and a stay be issued pending an appeal to the high court later this year. [More]

Having personally seen California gun show attendees ignore attempts to preserve RKBA, I have to say their apathy has brought much of their plight upon themselves. The same ones probably haven’t contributed a dime to this case.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Bipartisan’ Is

Governor Newsom signs bipartisan legislation to strengthen California’s gun laws [More]

Every bill sponsor in the list has a (D) after his name except AB 3083 (Domestic violence: protective orders: background checks) author/retired trough-feeding “Only One” Tom Lackey, an aptronym if I ever heard one.

Yeah, such endorsements seem to be longtime SOP.

Tell me what incentives California Republicans have not to sell out gun owners again…?

Gabby Giffords Had a Farm…

The spokesperson also said that around 80 animals were killed, including chickens, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, ducks, other types of birds and a miniature horse…Arroyo was booked and charged with … illegal possession of an assault weapon.. and felon in possession of a firearm, per the spokesperson.

Your Tax Dollars at Work

California moves ahead with $0 downpayment ‘loans’ for new homes for illegal immigrants [More]

And they make their payments by continuing to break federal law… which makes California’s involvement a conspiracy.

Cut right in front of the line and get yours. Now let’s get you registered to vote Democrat.

Every American who had to struggle and sacrifice for years to finally qualify to get their first property’s blood ought to be boiling.

There go Newsom and the Democrats again– disregarding laws they oppose. Just don’t you try it.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.
