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.

      Do you have guns growing out of your hands?

      (Even in asking sarcastically I can visualise it being a wet dream for many USians)

      Do you suggest men/women/humans NEED guns ?

      Because I don’t need one. I feel perfectly fine without one.

        Just wait until your political opinion doesn’t align with the police.

          What does it mean ? I live in a civilised society where the police works with rules and stuff and don’t use violence needlessly.
