Common Sense Takes a Holiday at the Capitol

GOC Entrance and Middle in Opposition to AB 2917 and AB 3064

Anybody going into the Capitol constructing in Sacramento is required to undergo safety which entails a situation very like the TSA operation at airports.  The one huge distinction, although is getting on an airplane doesn’t mandate you permit your mind within the car parking zone.

This, nevertheless, is what’s required beneath the dome – as a normal rule.  Now, not everybody engaged in public-policy making has checked their frequent sense on the door, however the majority definitely have. Because it at present stands, we’re run by a bunch of cowardly ‘fraidy cats who suppose they will take a chunk of the crime epidemic by going after the lawful – like that makes any sense in any respect.

Whereas we’ve enormously whittled down the variety of asinine anti-gun payments the legislature threw on the wall to see what would stick, a number of are hanging round and GOC’s Sam Paredes was in Senate Public Security this week to breathe come frequent sense on AB 3064 and AB 2917 into the powers that be.  It might have been a annoyed breath, but it surely’s sort of laborious to not be aggravated within the midst of legislative phrase vomit.

AB 3064 is a “gotcha” invoice that authorizes the Division of Justice to cost an annual payment on producers who promote any firearm system listed on their security roster and right here’s the kicker:  if one in every of these units falls off the licensed listing, guess who’s in bother? The accountable gun proprietor!  That is simply back-asswards, since there aren’t any points with the present necessities.  Given the hostility that DOJ recurrently reveals the gun-owning neighborhood, we’ve to wonder if they may ship out the “Gun Lock Police” for individuals who are out of compliance. In the meantime, with regards to the ever present smash and grabs or violent campus protesters, prices are dropped – if they’re even filed!  Will somebody who has a previously licensed gun lock be given such latitude?

After which there’s AB 2917 by Assemblyman Zbur.  That is the one which expands the circumstances beneath which a Gun Violence Restraining Order might be issued to incorporate extremely subjective standards comparable to what some may name “violent” speech. It actually is just too dangerous that there’s no “truth-o-meter” on the Capitol as a result of that child could be buzzing 24-7.  Zbur loudly proclaimed that the multitudes of Gun Violence Retraining Orders have saved multitudes of lives – but in actuality, there’s completely no technique to quantify this.  That being stated, Sam Paredes reminded the committee that American flags are triggering (particularly to hard-line Leftists) so what’s to forestall some anti-gun nut from requesting a GRVO if there’s a pick-up truck with Outdated Glory parked of their neighborhood?  The underside line is that AB 2917 is an offensive, anti-free speech, anti-due course of and anti-2A invoice.  Sadly, the committee ignored Sam’s reasoned objections.

It might need been simply “one other day on the workplace” for GOC however that’s what we do:  it doesn’t matter what rubbish is slung at us, we’ll proceed to face robust in protection of the Second Modification and within the face of these wanting to destroy the very foundations of liberty.
