A federal judge has blocked a California law that banned carrying firearms in most public places, ruling that it violates the 2nd Amendment.

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.

    Nice gaslighting. Where did I ever say I disagree that it’s a problem? Are you seriously going to get so upset that you’re going to miss the utterly obvious point of, “don’t take the topic change bait”? It’s literally the main way people deploy what-about-ism…

      I’m pretty sure the attempt at changing the topic was the person who wrote:

      I think guns and abortion are great distractions because both sides will never stop fighting for them.

      Meanwhile, we’re all getting fucked as the disparity in wealth continues to grow.

      Since that is not the topic of conversation in this thread. Hence my replying to them.
