Notes from the Resistance
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.

An attorney representing a California man who is challenging the state’s ban on firearm silencers argued to a panel of judges in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that the devices are protected under the Second Amendment. [More]
Shoot, anyone who’s not a moron or a monster knows that.
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.

This Supreme Court has unexpectedly made another move on Duncan v. Bonta, the mag ban challenge out of California. This twist now erases our chance to see a conference on November 21st and puts the case in limbo. [Watch]
As repeatedly noted, all SCOTUS has to do to let bad law stand is… nothing.

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?

“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.

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.

So much for “bold conservative commentary,” eh, H.W. III?
No deal, Vichycons. Sell us out and you can feel our pain.
You won’t hold seats and those of us who matter will still have our guns.

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?

California Glock Ban Heads to Governor’s Desk [More]
So much for being “a trusted partner of law enforcement“…
’cause it sure looks like we can’t trust them.
Hey, but don’t worry: Newsom promised Shawn Ryan he’s “not anti-gun at all.”
[Via Jess]
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]
If anyone has credible links to confirm the claims, please share them in comments.

Federal judge rules Trump violated military law by activating National Guard in California – Judge Charles Breyer’s opinion echoed remarks he made during a three-day trial in which he questioned if presidents have any limits on when they can use the military [More]
I have Constitutional concerns about overreach, too, but this is different.
If a judge has personal skin in the game that makes impartiality impossible, isn’t he supposed to recuse himself?
Senior District Judge Charles R. Breyer, in violation of his oath of office, did knowingly and willfully use his judicial position to advance political gain while interfering with the President’s constitutional prerogatives and enforcement of the rule of law.
Why doesn’t this “news” story, affecting voter perception, mention that?
Do any?
And what’s in it for Democrats to let violence and chaos reign?
California’s AB 495 is the most dangerous bill we’ve ever seen—and it’s being pushed right now by lawmakers in Sacramento. This bill would allow any non-related adult, a neighbor, teacher, ex-relative, or even a complete stranger, to take custody of your child without your knowledge or consent. No background check. No court order. No parent’s signature. Just a piece of paper. [More]
If they can take your guns, why would they be afraid to take your kids?

Let’s be blunt: the FBI’s JTTFs have disrupted plots targeting New York, Boston, and cities across the country. They are essential to homeland security. Pulling out of that network—especially now—is the domestic equivalent of turning off radar at Pearl Harbor. [More]
Far be it from me to laud fusion centers.
That said, if and when “it” happens, odds are it will be where the odds of success are greatest.

After getting a complete smackdown from the 9th Circuit in their one gun a month law, California is at it again this time believing that limiting firearm purchases to three guns a month is somehow Constitutional. [Watch]
Who’s infringin’? We’re limitin’.
Hey, you don’t need more than three guns to hunt deer…

“This is deplorable. This should not be happening on our soil,” he said in a video message. “Individuals dressed like military personnel on our soil. We don’t do that in America.” “This was overkill. This was ridiculous. This was a bunch of crap,” he added. [More]
From the county Democrat (and Mexican immigrant) Carbajal represents:
Nice flags being waved in the KABC photo in the Fox News story…
And naturally, he doesn’t want your guns on “our soil.”
A three-judge panel of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has unanimously upheld an earlier preliminary injunction against a section of the California Business & Professional Code which had been used by the state to stifle gun-related advertising in Junior Sports magazine, in a case brought by the Second Amendment Foundation and others. [More]
Now we see if the en banc court reverses that.
Welcome to California, where advertising a “swell vacation gift from Dad” is verboten and LGBTQ affirming picture books for kids are mandatory.
