Making Lemonade Out of Lemons

Just before Christmas, the even more radical California State Bar imperiously advised the state’s 200,000 lawyers “Read it, declare it, mean it.” That ominous warning introduced the California Supreme Court’s Orwellian Rule 9.7 which requires every lawyer to attest that: “As an officer of the court, I will strive to conduct myself at all times with dignity, courtesy and integrity.” The license of any lawyer who fails or refuses to acquiesce will be invalidated, and any lawyer who violates the oath is subject to “appropriate fees and penalties” to be set by the Bar.

“…dignity, courtesy and integrity”?

So… we can report Eric Swalwell…?

Credit Where Due

Today, both the federal Department of Justice and 26 states filed amicus briefs supporting CRPA’s challenge to California’s ammo ban. The DOJ filed an amicus brief supporting the plaintiffs in the case of Rhode v. Bonta. In addition, 26 states collaborated on an amicus brief also supporting the case. [More]

Acknowledge when they do good.

Maybe it’ll offset some of when they don’t.

The Thinning Margin

House GOP Rep Doug LaMalfa dead at 65 – House Republicans’ majority is now 218 to 213 [More]

He evidently was good on guns.

As I understand it, Newsom will now need to announce a special election. What I don’t know is what effect redistricting will have and what any likely GOP contender is prepared to do for RKBA.

A Question I’m Almost Embarrassed to Ask

4 adults, teen arrested in Santa Ana shooting that killed 13-year-old, injured 3 others… After a three-month investigation, detectives identified five suspects: Martin Eusebio, 20; Joaquin Uvalle, 19; Angel Diaz, 19; Dan Mejia, 29; and a 15-year-old juvenile whose name has not been released due to his age. [More]

Thank goodness there’s no other relevant information to share.

There isn’t is there?

The Spice of Life

California’s crackdown on ‘less-lethal’ weapons sparks 2A lawsuit targeting Newsom administration- Byrna Technologies claims state violates Second Amendment by blocking ammunition sales of less-lethal weapons [More]

If they had their druthers, Democrats wouldn’t let you have ANY defensive tools.

That’s the old pepper!

Sorry, I’m just not feeling the shock and awe.

Full Court Press

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has granted rehearing en banc in Rhode v. Bonta—a case backed by the National Rifle Association and California Rifle and Pistol Association. [More]

They figure a summoning of all the Nazgûl will overturn the panel, bolster the infringement, and give Democrats a few more years to drag things on until Republicans blow things and SCOTUS can be reformed.

Change my mind.

Upcoming Account Changes Due to CA Assembly Bill 1263

The CA legislature recently passed Assembly Bill 1263, which puts additional regulations on the sale and shipment of firearm parts and gunsmithing tools. Unfortunately, this means that there will be some new restrictions on how you order and how we ship firearm parts and gunsmithing tools to you. [More]

I wonder how they’d be able to find out if you had a trusted friend in a neighboring, freer state you could drive to order them for you.

Prop 50: A Direct Threat to the Second Amendment [Watch]

Yes, Democrats mean to rule with a monopoly of power, which includes a monopoly of violence, and they’d do whatever it takes and then some. The unanswered question is how did California get this way and what have the gun groups –including CRPA — done to warn citizens and try to stop the root cause, or have they ignored it with a “single issue” excuse?

And will they keep ignoring it in places that have not yet turned because they’re afraid the communists will call them names?

None Dare Call It Treason

“Rather than supporting and working with federal law enforcement professionals, California politicians, including U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi and San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, have instead called for state and local law enforcement officials to ‘arrest’ federal agents and officers for enforcing federal laws enacted by the U.S. Congress, including federal immigration laws”… [More]

Democrat FAFOers are upping the ante. They’re ready to start Civil War 2 on behalf of illegal aliens.

Glock-Blocking

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a law banning sales of one of the most popular types of handgun in the U.S… It covers handguns manufactured by Glock, as well as similarly designed pistols, that use a “cruciform trigger bar,” which lawmakers said makes them easily convertible to fully automatic fire. [More]

So that’s what being “a trusted partner of law enforcement” gets you…

That and “compromising” to save your skin

The “cool” thing is the “Only Ones” exemption is still there! That might actually be what keeps the PLCAA in play, although I’m sure there are Democrat activist federal judges eager to impose nationwide injunctions.

And I’m sure there’ll be no shortage of gun companies eager to keep the enforcers armed and ready to confiscate.

We’re the Only Ones Delighting Enough

The permissibility of weapon-mounted lights (WMLs) and red dot sights on a concealed carry weapon (CCW) in California is determined by individual county sheriffs. Recently, some sheriffs have begun restricting or banning these accessories, with Contra Costa County being a prominent example. These county-specific decisions have made the rules for carrying accessories complex and variable across California. [More]

The impossibility of navigating through a patchwork quilt is the whole point, don’t you think?

And is anyone still clinging to the “Sheriffs are good/police chiefs are bad” fallacy?

[Via Jess]

Let There Be Lights

Just learned today of the sickening limits set by Contra Costa County (pop. 1.2m) for their CCW licensees. No Single Action only pistol allowed. Yes, implicates the 1911, 2011 etc. No Weapon lights allowed No Red Dots allowed No Lasers allowed No more than 2 weapons allowed [More]

I thought the limit was 3.

If anyone has credible links to confirm the claims, please share them in comments.
