A federal judge on Wednesday temporarily blocked a California law that would have banned carrying firearms in most public places, ruling that it violates the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and deprives people of their ability to defend themselves and their loved ones.
The law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in September was set to take effect Jan. 1. It would have prohibited people from carrying concealed guns in 26 places including public parks and playgrounds, churches, banks and zoos. The ban would apply whether the person has a permit to carry a concealed weapon or not. One exception would be for privately owned businesses that put up signs saying people are allowed to bring guns on their premises.
I think it’s sad how you Americans have to defend themselves with a gun while police won’t do real shit.
Oh police will show up eventually and you’ll wish they hadn’t. There’s no situation that police can’t make worse.
I think it’s great that we Americans have the right to effective self defense, because our police are mostly worthless. It sure would suck worse to not have the right to effective self defense AND have worthless police.
