Just ask Mike Johnson.

And guess which group Rob Bonta’s keeping tabs on.
Well, hey, “our democracy,” right?
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.
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. [More]
They meet all MY criteria.
What a d!ck Rob Bonta is.

Attorney General Bonta Appeals District Court Decision Overturning a 100-Year-Old Law and Allowing “Billy Clubs” [More]
It’s not his money and there’s always plenty more.
Democrats don’t even want you to have a stick.

Defendant Attorney General Rob Bonta, and his officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys, and those persons in active concert or participation with him, and those duly sworn state peace officers and federal law enforcement officers who gain knowledge of this injunction order or know of the existence of this injunction order, are enjoined from implementing or enforcing California Penal Code § 22210 as it applies to a billy. [More]
Bastards don’t even want you to have a club…
Now look for the Ninth Cicuit to screw it up.

As reported earlier today, the lawsuit challenging the state’s ban on firearm marketing to youth, known as Jr. Shooting Sports Magazines v. Bonta, got a boost with the announcement that the State’s request for an en banc panel review of our favorable ruling in a lower court was denied, thus securing our injunction win. [More]
Nobody thought totalitarians would just stop at the Second Amendment, did they?
It’s telling, the literature and imagery they DO want young people exposed to.

“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.
Using their “logic,” they can also use the whip as long as they do it to all of us.
What do we have a Second Amendment for, again…?
[Via Jess]
Bonta’s Department of Justice will recognize only three of the eight categories of certified instructor, all three controlled by the State of California: instructors certified under the state Department of Consumer Affairs, the state Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, or a state-accredited school to teach a firearm training course. [More]
Cut back on the instructors you cut back on the permits.
I wonder how many of the “authorized instructors” were first certified by NRA.
So much for sucking up.

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit against the Los Angeles County Sheriff and California Attorney General Rob Bonta challenging the constitutionality of carry permit issuance policies and laws that make it difficult, if not impossible, for citizens to obtain permits. Joining SAF are the California Rifle & Pistol Association, Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners Foundation, Gun Owners of California and several private citizens. [More]
Put another way, they’re taking on the kingpin who knows where they live and local armed gang members.
That “misuse” can be deliberate by activists gone wild or due to lax/incompetent security protocols. And it’s not like sensitive and supposedly secure government systems at the highest levels can’t be breached and hacked by anyone, from cyber criminals to foreign enemies. It’s not like names, addresses, and lists don’t have real-world street value, and it would be just like the prohibitionists to have their efforts actually increase violence and its incentives. [More]
Why do you need privacy if you’re not doing anything wrong?
“We’re seeing a troubling pattern in litigation in which defendants try to drag out the process,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. [More]
With virtually unlimited tax plunder, they can afford to.

FEDERAL JUDGE GRANTS SAF PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION IN CAL. HANDGUN ROSTER CASE [More]
I guess there wasn’t a safe musket or firelock roster at the time…
DOJ is filing an appeal to overturn the district court’s preliminary injunction, and filing an emergency motion to stay, or halt, the portions of the order that would ban enforcement of the UHA’s requirements that semiautomatic pistols for retail sale have a chamber load indicator and magazine disconnect mechanism. The motion does not seek to immediately stop the part of the court’s decision enjoining the microstamping requirement. [More]
These bastards work in increments both ways. They’re trying to salvage what they can for now. They’ll come back for the rest later, assuming their subversions will assure enough dominance to control future courts.
You just gotta wonder what kind of Republicans would be stupid and/or treasonous enough to help them get an unchallengeable majority.

“Californians have the constitutional right to acquire and use state-of-the-art handguns to protect themselves,” he wrote. “They should not be forced to settle for decade-old models of handguns to ensure that they remain safe inside or outside the home.” [More]
But Rob Bonta says it’s still going to be enforced for two weeks until the injunction goes into effect.
You gotta wonder at what point these tyrants can be shown to be premeditatedly abusing the powers of their offices to discriminate against citizens’ rights and be held criminally accountable.

Who Wants to Tell California AG Bonta that Access to ‘Weapons of War’ as a Check Against Tyranny is a Core Tenet of the Second Amendment? [More]
Why do you think he and his masters are so bent on destroying it?
I just wish more 2A lawsuits would focus more on the Militia, and how ignoring that facilitates more infringements.
The “purchase delay” story has as happy an ending as can be expected when you consider all the prior restraint infringements.
“Ed” tells me via email:
Yesterday, Saturday, at around 4 pm, I received a call from [redacted] to inform me that he just received an email on behalf of “General” Bonta that it’s OK to release my HK! I arranged to pick it up later that evening and now have it in my possession…
…Notice, they CC’d the police but NOT to me, like it’s none of my business what they do related to me behind my back. And to date, still not a single response to my request for the documentation and so-called evidence they claimed to have, to which I, as “the accused” have a legal right to be presented with to see what the alleged “evidence” is that they used to make the libelous accusations of my “alleged criminal activity” and “firearms theft,” that they used to defame me…
…And, as ALL the guys that were there last night working the F/A counter told me about their customers having this same problem, I suggested that they tell those folks to look up your article and then contact AmmoLand to pass on their info.
Yeah, if it happens to you, let us know.
This appears to be yet another real-world example of those “false positives” the left viciously attacks John Lott for documenting. And the end of this story brings nothing to mind so much as Emily Litella realizing she’s wrong.
Ed’s just lucky Bonta didn’t deploy a shock team to confiscate what’s on his registration list. Just think how much more that will happen once Amalgamated finishes beta-testing its crystal ball.
Investigators said they “did not uncover any evidence that the timing of the (data breach) was driven by a nefarious intent or was personally or politically motivated in any way.” [More]
As we’ve seen in a prior cover-up, there’s a huge difference between “no evidence” and “exonerated.”
In any case, say it really was systemic retard-level incompetence and negligence– in any rational organization, that would result in top-level firings followed by legal actions.

If the California DOJ won’t let Ed buy a gun, what’s to say they’ll let him keep the ones he already has if their misidentification persists? It’s not like they don’t know what he has and where he lives. That alone, along with the propensity of state disarmament enforcers to violently descend in the middle of the night, makes calling attention to his plight a matter of personal safety. [More]
Nothing says “shall not be infringed” like “How do we know you’re not a criminal?”
Today, the Attorney General sent a cease-and-desist letter to Sky Tactical Supply, warning the company that it is potentially committing criminal offenses by selling the FIFY in California, and is misleading California consumers about their criminal liability if they buy the product. [More]
This stuff makes my head hurt.
Large-capacity magazines are not “arms” protected by the Second Amendment because they are not essential to the use of firearms… Additionally, large-capacity magazines are not protected “arms” because they are not commonly used for self-defense. [More]
Since that directly follows an “Overview of Bruen’s text-and-history standard for analyzing Second Amendment claims,” I wonder what Tench would say to that…?
Legal weasel Rob Bonta proves the point that if you limit arguments to “self-defense” and ignore core purpose, you’re not using every means at your disposal.
