Outlier
Steve Hilton, a legal immigrant and political newcomer running as a Republican for governor of California, said the “absolute failure on every front” by current Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democrats means the GOP has a real shot at pulling off an upset in the Golden State. [More]
And he appears to understand 2A…
So are my critics right, and will I have to eat my words?
This “anecdote and isolated example” aside, it’s on them to show how legal immigrants who become naturalized citizens will vote our way gun issues, because the polls I’ve found say they overwhelmingly vote against us.
Plus, the California vote is hardly a lock and urban populations will decide it.
Then again, sometimes I wonder why I bother.

Stopping the Signal
California Bill Would Force 3D Printers to Block Gun Files With State-Approved Detection Technology [More]
And I can see the bastards pulling a DeStefano on an out-of-state supplier who won’t comply. (Looks like they gave up on trying to raise funds because no one wanted to help plant the seed, water the crop, harvest the grain, mill the flour, and bake the bread.)
I’m wondering if the “unfunded mandate” used in Printz to invalidate Brady Law requirements might be applicable in fighting this, or is that just an escape clause for public entities against the feds?
Hoist with His Own Petard?
American gun owners got quite a chuckle nine months ago when California Gov. Gavin Newsom was gifted a Sig Sauer P365-Xmacro pistol while appearing on podcaster Shawn Ryan’s Tennessee-based program, and their amusement is continuing as media reports note the far-left Democrat still can’t get his pistol because of Golden State gun control laws.

And Newsom doesn’t care. He doesn’t have to.

Newsom Disenfranchising Minorities
Newsom Opposes Voter ID Laws, but Ignores Far Worse Abuses in California for CCW Permits [More]
I’ve been pointing out that disconnect for some time:
If photo IDs disenfranchise minority voters as “progressives” claim, why doesn’t the same requirement disenfranchise them from their right to keep and bear arms?
The answer, of course, is that it does, and that Democrats are racist hypocrites and liars.
Attorney Tom Grieve has a new video out that explains how burdensome California prior restraints are for the working poor.

The latest “Gotcha” by alleged thinking adults is to demand that Republicans should have to abide by the strictures of the SAVE Act to purchase guns. [More]

Just Like the Founders Intended
For the first time in California history, this proposal would require mandatory state-approved training, including live-fire shooting and at least eight hours of instruction, just to BUY a firearm — not carry it, not use it, but to own it. [Watch]
And challenges by gun owners who must scrape together legal costs will go on for years and years and years, which is part of the plan.

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. [More]
“…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]

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.

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.
