Judge Blows Out California’s Dumbest New Gun Law
“California’s dumbest new gun law” is a bold claim, we know…
Just as much Scottish cuisine is apparently based on a schoolyard dare, most of California’s gun laws seem to be based on a schoolyard taunt. California’s gun owners are well aware that their state government thinks they have cooties. They’re pretty used to being pinned down and given wet willies, but California’s recently passed AB 2847 takes the bullying into atomic-wedgie territory.
As you may know, California has a “roster” of state-approved handguns, which are listed by model. The mere fact that they have such a roster is a violation of the Second Amendment, but AB 2847 goes one further. It says that for every handgun model that the state adds to the roster, they’ll remove three. The idea, clearly, is to eventually reduce the number of handguns that Californians are even allowed to try to buy down to whatever prime number is left. Sniff, sniff…what’s that smell? Infringement!
The Second Amendment Foundation took action
The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) sued. They were joined by the San Diego County Gun Owners PAC, Firearms Policy Coalition and a private citizen, Lana Rae Renna, for whom the case Renna v. Becerra is named. Plaintiffs are represented by attorneys Raymond DiGuiseppe of Southport, N.C. and Michael Sousa of San Diego.
A federal judge in Southern California just ruled on that law, which took effect in January 2021. The ruling, by U.S. District Chief Judge Dana Sabraw, is what we in the business call a “bitch-slap.” In his 15-page ruling, Judge Sabraw, who was appointed by George W. Bush, decided that plaintiffs “have sufficiently pled the UHA (“Unsafe Handgun Act”) substantially impacts their Second Amendment rights and thus burdens conduct protected by the Amendment.”
The judge also observed that the defendants offered “no justification for why the statute requires the removal of three handguns for each new handgun added (to the roster), instead of, for instance, a proportional one-to-one.”
The right to buy guns is as important as the right to own them
He also noted, “Plaintiffs allege the UHA’s roster imposes a significant burden on their Second Amendment rights. Specifically, the (complaint) alleges the number of handguns available for purchase on the roster continues to decline and ultimately will ‘shrink into oblivion’ as handguns are removed from the roster, including by AB 2847’s three-for-one provision. Taking Plaintiffs’ allegations as true, this limits the ability of law-abiding citizens to acquire firearms, which is critical to ensuring the Second Amendment right to keep arms.”
“This case shows California’s amended handgun law seems ultimately designed to shrink the available number of approved handguns to virtually zero,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “Judge Sabraw appears to recognize this unconstitutional dilemma near the end of his opinion.”
Perhaps if we simply put a very large fence around Kalifornia it would help. No, wait, we tried that for Mexico and it didn’t work. Oh well, back to the ” Drive the Liberals into the ocean” idea. Kalifornia would be a nice place without them.
Just be careful of the sheep in Wolf’s clothing. But only that, but as these so called, “non liberals” are moving out of California, they are the same ones raising taxes in the places they are moving to as well as overall living. Here in Idaho, all these disgusting Californians moving here say that they are not that kind but yet the average price of a house has gone up over $150,000. Had a house in my neighborhood that sold two years ago for 500,000. Today there is a house selling for $750,000 and it’s smaller.
California is essentially trying to legislate the 2nd amendment out of existence from both the state constitution and the USA constitution
So is the Federal government under Zero Joe.
Just the other day I spoke to a couple that was moving out of California due to the States hard line idiotic liberal laws and I told them that they would be welcomed in Tennessee and treated just like family if they were to chose to move here. I also told them that if they did move here and tried to bring those same idiotic left wing liberal attitudes with them that they would still be treated just like family and would be chastised and made so unwelcome here that they would probably move back to California, just like we would treat old creepy uncle Joe !!!!REMEMBER, WE OWN GUNS HERE AND ARE GOING TO KEEP THEM, YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, YOUR IDIOTIC LIBERAL LAWS AND WAYS ARE NOT !!!
Just for clarification, you catch a lot more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. A word to the wise is sufficient.
History with Socialists proves differently. There isn’t enough honey on this planet to appease them into listening to logic.
My comment wasn’t posted because I called hiding Biden a liar about the comment on ghost guns. The finish machining takes hours and it takes more than thirty minutes to fit it together
One reason for the wrong people being elected in CA (and that it’ll never change) is the right-minded people continually leave the state, thereby leaving a higher concentration of liberals. You’ll never get things to change that way.
I’d like to see right-minded folks go back to CA in droves, and then vote the bums out. Big dreams…
Occasionally, a strategic retreat is required to survive, regroup, live to fight another day. It’s also a necessity to clear the area prior to “carpet bombing”……. Sometimes the vermin get so entrenched, one just has to scorch the area and start over. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Never going to happen, given that California is an extremely expensive state to call home. But thanks for playing.
Round up all the anti 2nd amendment people and send them to china !!!
Why? They have plenty of gun control in China.
Right! Then they will feel right at home. Hope they leave soon.
The Second Amendment to the Constitution says NOTHING about how many, or how few, or even what KIND of gun you are “allowed” to buy and have. ANY law, rule, believe, or what ever that does not say “Shall Not Be Infringed” is blatantly Unconstitutional! PERIOD! And “YES!!!” that means I should be able to have a frickin’ nuke, if I want…
Kaos
The only problem is these sheeple are moving out in masses because the state of California is so F@&$d up . Then they forget how screwed up it was and why they moved . They try the same Democratic rules and laws over again and can’t figure out why the next state goes stupid as well. Can we just fence in California and New York and New Jersey. It’s not on the Mexico border so no one should be opposed to it
i call these socialist liberals, who call themselves educated, mindless morons, but your discription of them will do as well.. they live in a world that does not exist. they think if they disarm us crime will stop, oh and by the way those are the principals that they voted in. now they into ruining other states with their illiterate mentality
‘Illiterate mentality’ also applies to those who refuse to use capital letters.
Unfortunately, freedom of speech also means that we are free to completely butcher the English language if we so choose! However, I don’t remember it saying anything about punctuation…lol
When will sheeple learn, this is an experiment designed to see exactly how far they can go, how much they can take, how much people are willing to hand over before saying no. So far, they’ve determined percentages, ratios, all the numbers they need to realize they can pretty much do whatever they want to TAKE your rights, and the majority of people will just stand by and let it happen.
They’ll find out when pedophile Joe starts the next civil war and they’re ALL dodging bullets daily!!!!
EXACTLY!!
Not a Civil War but the second American Revolution.
The very most important fact of the creation of “Our Bill of Rights” ( The First Ten Amendments), is they were set in place to “Forever Protect the Citizens from Their Own Governments.”

Those bullets better be connecting.
We practice daily.!!
I doubt it is an experiment but it is planned. The globalist elite hate this country and the freedoms people have and are changing it to a socialist nation under a new world order one world government. IT WILL FAIL!
Your right though people will continue to stand idly by and watch it happen because no one knows what to do or how and as long as people can eat pizza, drink beer and watch stupid reality shows and sports it will be an easy victory for the psycho elite.
Live by the democrat, die by the democrat!
Is this fallout from the “New Math” being foisted off on us?
Come On you knew this was going to happen !
Just look at Nancy Pelosi and think back to when she was changing her anxiety and dementia medications !
Don’t tell me you didn’t see it all the signs that even a volunteer trained to be on the ambulance could spot them – the slurred speech one minute and five minutes later, really fast talking and hand waving. Then for some strange reason Chuckles Schumer had to stand on her right side every time she made a speech (He was tapping her right thigh to keep her “on point” during her speeches, watch his left shoulder move when she goes off point).
She is doing nothing more then what she and the rest are being paid thru shady deals by George Soros (the Nazi who worked directly with Adolph Hitler as his “Attendant and Transcriptionist”) to take down America as the Nazi’s said they would by using human greed and power emotion’s back in the early 1930’s.
Soros is the point man for a few other countries and extremely wealthy people, but no democrat will admit it because they are on the payroll.
Licenses to get ammo will be next – Nazi Germany 1934, Forced registration of guns – Nazi Germany 1935, Storming house and killing all to get the guns – Nazi Germany 1937 and we all know what happened in 1939.
the good people in cali can handle the cheap shit like their rights being trampled upon by themselves. it appears they like being screwed over, since they elect the same shit over and over again.
They keep getting reelected from voter fraud.
Fraudulent politicians more than voter fraud.
No, more like dead people, ILLEGAL ALIENS (all caps because we aren’t supposed to call them that so it doesn’t hurt the feelings of the snowflakes, and I don’t give a $h!t), people voting more than once, etc. The “candidates” they vote for are “progressive” idiots that think they know more than anyone else. Newsom (Piglousy’s nephew) is a prime example.
I have preferred for quite some time what I believe to be a more descriptive term to describe the hordes swarming across our sovereign border: ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN INVADERS. It has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?
