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.

    No one said ignore mass shootings.

    Just gun control in areas it’s unpopular.

    There are other methods of attacking the problem than gun control. They won’t be as effective, but they will be more tolerated by the average American voter.

    Take the Florida governorship. DeSantis won out by the skin of his teeth the first go around.

    The reason Andrew Gilliam lost was he kept going on about bringing an assault weapons ban to Florida. Such a ban would have never made it though the legislature, so it was an empty promise on top of an unpopular one.

    So he shot himself in the foot for no gain and we have been stuck with pudding fingers ever since

    Democrats need to understand to pick their battles and read the room.
