It’s been pulled — for now.
And yes, of course Reggie Jones-Sawyer wants to use force to disarm you, and uses flat-out gaslighting lies to do it:
“Poll after poll shows a majority of Americans want action taken to have gun safety laws in place,” Jones-Sawyer said. “A Right to Safety Amendment to the U.S. Constitution will do exactly that without impeding on the Second Amendment.”
Tell us again how a con-con is just the ticket to restore freedom…
The AWCA is constitutional because either: (1) assault rifles are dangerous and unusual and, therefore, not protected by the Second Amendment at all; (2) assault rifles may be banned in accordance with this nation’s regulatory tradition of placing severe restrictions on dangerous and unusual weaponry, including a tradition of outright possession bans that proliferated during Reconstruction when states first became subject to the Second Amendment; or (3) mass shootings with assault rifles pose such an unprecedented societal concern, engendered by dramatic technological development, that California is constitutionally permitted to use a slightly different regulatory method that is still consistent with a general tradition of limiting offensive and unlawful use of dangerous and unusual weapons.

The Second Amendment Foundation has been granted summary judgement in a federal challenge of California’s One-Gun-A-Month (OGM) purchase law. U.S. District Judge William Q. Hayes stayed his decision for 30 days for the defendants to facilitate an appeal. [More]
And thumbing noses at Bruen will drag on and on and on with the hopes that Republicans blow the election and Democrats can reshape SCOTUS to reverse it.
The Supreme Court has no power to enforce its decisions. It cannot call out the troops or compel Congress or the president to obey. The Court relies on the executive and legislative branches to carry out its rulings. In some cases, the Supreme Court has been unable to enforce its rulings.
I’d need a lawyer to weigh in on whether they could charge inferior court judges with contempt for disregarding their rulings, and they’d still be dependent on the other branches. I fear the only “legal” remedy is impeachment, for which Republicans have neither the power nor the appetite.
So now we have to see what Hayes says in a month, and then see who initiates an appeal, then lather, rinse, repeat.

Each of the plaintiffs had their conviction vacated, set aside, or dismissed, and their right to possess firearms restored, by the jurisdiction in which they were convicted … Even so, California has acted to permanently deny Linton, Stewart, and Jones the right to possess or own firearms, solely on the basis of their original convictions… Summary judgment is granted in favor of plaintiffs on the Second Amendment claim.

This brazen move toward confiscation of your firearms by the state must not be taken lightly. Act today to let the California Senate know just what you think of this attack on your liberty. [More]
Why? Do you want to give all those anti-gun Democrats in safe seats a good chuckle, or just burn out activist supporters on fruitless missions to nowhere?
It’s awful tough when you refuse to even consider the reason CA turned from Republican to unchallengeably Democrat. If gun groups hadn’t been deliberately indifferent to that for decades with their “single issue” evasion, they might not have to keep hitting up members for lawsuit money to fight edicts passed by Democrat-dominated legislatures that their disinterest ensured.

And that bit about making no law respecting the establishment of religion, or that other bit about equal protection under the law…? Precedent has been established with the kirpan.
Maybe people could start their own “faith” and claim the same “privilege”? Just not without the state claiming it alone has ther power to recognize “authorized religions” (just like in China!)
Then again, it’s hardly surprising that a “Gun Sense Candidate” views rights as things that can be given or withheld depending on what’s in it for her.

“These fifty laws identified by the Attorney General constitute a long, embarrassing, disgusting, insidious, reprehensible list of examples of government tyranny towards our own people,” Benitez wrote — and such “repugnant historical examples of prejudice and bigotry will not be used to justify the State’s current infringement on the constitutional rights of citizens.” [More]
Yet that’s exactly what Rob Bonta and all Democrats– not just the California ones — are calling for, no matter how much they try to distance themselves with specious, self-serving excuses.
