Kinda looks like he could be David Hogg’s father, doesn’t he?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As long as we are beating on California – in a piece of good news for those living in the occupied Republik of Kalifornia, the 9th Circuit ruled in a 2-1 vote Thursday that California’s ammunition background check law infringes on the rights of its citizen and remains blocked.<\/p>\n

Governor Newsom issued a statement following the new ruling, saying: \u201cStrong gun laws save lives \u2014 and [yesterday\u2019s] decision is a slap in the face to the progress California has made in recent years to keep its communities safer from gun violence. Californians voted to require background checks on ammunition and their voices should matter.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Think we would all like to see some empirical evidence that ‘strong gun laws save lives’, wouldn’t we?<\/p>\n

The former law, although passed by voters in 2016, has been in limbo for about seven years through state and federal courts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Read: a vastly overreaching law has been ruled invalid, appealed, ruled invalid, appealed again, and has been appealed all the way to the 9th Circuit who: ruled it invalid. Starting to see a pattern here, Gavin?<\/p>\n

\u201cBy subjecting Californians to background checks for all ammunition purchases, California\u2019s ammunition background check regime infringes on the fundamental right to keep and bear arms,\u201d Judge Sandra S. Ikuta wrote in a statement for the two-judge majority decision, obtained by The New York Times.\u00a0\u00a0Los Angeles Magazine<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Some of you older codgers may remember a time after GCA ’68 when every round of ammunition sold had to be logged at the dealer? Like if someone was killed in Kob’s town\u00a0 by a .45 ACP and they had no idea who pulled the trigger they could go to the books and say “aha, Kob, here’s the scoundrel!” (I know my dealer once told me I had probably bought over 50% of the .45 Colt sold in my old town once.)\u00a0 Only problem – most popular rounds get sold to lots of different people (imagine the poor sap trying to determine who bought the fatal 9mm bullet?) and, like gun background checks, most criminals, dumb as the proverbial post they may be, know enough to not<\/strong> buy their arms and ammo directly from registerable sources. I can’t remember when they stopped that silliness, maybe in the ’80s ? but I do remember reading at the time that not one crime<\/em> had been solved due to those ammo registries. Not one.<\/em><\/p>\n

But Mr. Newsom has never been one to have his opinions swayed by actual facts, is he? Anyone want to bet Kalifornia will press for an en banc decision, or even full 9th 29-judge decision on this? Or even take it to the Supreme Court?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
