LOS ANGELES (AP) — A new California law that bans people from carrying firearms in most public places was once again blocked from taking effect Saturday as a court case challenging it continues.
A 9th Circuit Court of Appeals panel dissolved a temporary hold on a lower court injunction blocking the law. The hold was issued by a different 9th Circuit panel and had allowed the law to go into effect Jan. 1.
Saturday’s decision keeps in place a Dec. 20 ruling by U.S. District Judge Cormac Carney blocking the law. Carney said that it violates the Second Amendment and that gun rights groups would likely prevail in proving it unconstitutional.
The law, signed by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, prohibits people from carrying concealed guns in 26 types of places including public parks and playgrounds, churches, banks and zoos. The ban applies regardless of whether a person has a concealed carry permit.
So draconian that I don’t want someone to bring a gun to a public playground or the fucking zoo.
Oh wow maybe the ban works? Noooo it’s definitely because you scared idiots carrying weapons around all day are just SO responsible.
Hey you know who’s 100% responsible for all gun violence? PEOPLE WITH GUNS.
“Subset X of large group Y has committed a negligible amount of crime Y in the last generation.”
“NO YOU IDIOT, LARGE GROUP Y DOES ALL OF CRIME Y, JUST THINK!!!”
Oh sorry I forgot only a subset of the people that own a thing made to kill other people actually kill other people. Good point go ahead and bring those guns hidden in your pants to a kids park or whatever. I feel so much safer now.
Hey look, it’s the same logic that racists use
What the fuck? TIL it’s racist to think people shouldn’t bring guns to the park.
Hey look it’s the same logic idiots use.
Gun control is racist
Imagine being so privileged you don’t have to worry about defending yourself or your family.
