It was a dramatic scene as the judge figured out what was going on.
A terrible attack was unfolding, not just on the Second Amendment but on the whole Constitution.
But this judge made a powerful move and boldly put a stop to it.
Politicians in California have been on the warpath against Second Amendment rights. This has been true for many years, but it has escalated significantly since Gavin Newsom took office.
Newsom appears to be deeply committed to the anti-gun movement, and he is attempting to use the power of the state to harass and intimidate gun owners in any way that he possibly can.
His latest strategy for doing that was a piece of legislation called AB 2571, which was supposed to severely restrict the free speech rights of gun manufacturers.
The bill was sold as being an attempt to keep guns out of the hands of children, but it had a destructive impact on youth shooting sports, which many kids across the country are involved in.
Thankfully, a judge has decided to strike down this horrific and unconstitutional legislation, which will protect the First Amendment and the Second Amendment for millions of Californians.
According to a release from CRPA, “Today, the Eastern District Court issued an injunction barring further implementation of the provisions of AB 2571, meaning publishers of Second Amendment-related content may resume their activities without being subject to the penalties the new law put in place.”
“CRPA’s lawsuit, Junior Shooting Sports Magazines, Inc. v. Bonta, cleared the path for today’s ruling with a huge victory back in September. As a result of that decision, the case was remanded back to the lower court to issue an injunction, but the court was dragging their feet.”
If gun grabbers thought they could get away with a move like this without having to face serious lawsuits, they were sadly mistaken.
Gun owners know that they have the law of the land on their side, and any attempt to destroy gun rights at the state or federal level is going to be met with serious resistance.
The press release continues, “Subsequently, a similar case was decided and, this time, the court moved forward to enjoin the law, citing the likelihood that the state would lose on the merits should they continue to defend the restrictions. As we have pointed out on several occasions, AB 2571 raises both First and Second Amendment concerns by barring speech the state simply doesn’t like.”
“For now, at least, these absurd restrictions are sidelined and we will wait to see if the state continues what can only be seen as an uphill battle.”
Clearly Newsom did not think he was going to be fighting an uphill battle here. Perhaps he thought that California judges were so liberal that they would let him get away with any form of gun control.
But he was proven wrong as a judge made a bold move to strike down his unconstitutional law and give the people of California their rights back.
