In a move that further proves their commitment to infringing on Americans’ Second Amendment rights, California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) recently signed several gun control measures into law. It’s no surprise that the left-leaning state would take advantage of any opportunity to tighten its grip on law-abiding gun owners.
One of the new laws, S.B. 2, was a direct response to the Supreme Court’s ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn. vs. Bruen, which struck down a gun control law in New York. Newsom and his anti-gun cronies saw this as the perfect opportunity to push their agenda forward. S.B. 2 seriously limits who can obtain a license to carry a concealed firearm and imposes overly restrictive rules on where gun owners can carry their weapons.
Under this new law, responsible gun owners are now prohibited from carrying guns in more than two dozen “sensitive” locations. This list includes child care centers, public transit, museums, zoos, and even medical facilities. It’s almost as if Newsom believes that law-abiding citizens suddenly transform into criminals the moment they step foot into these places. It’s ludicrous!
But of course, Newsom doesn’t see it that way. He paints himself as a hero, valiantly fighting against “radical judges” who dare to protect the constitutional rights of Americans. In a statement, he proudly declared, “While radical judges continue to strip away our ability to keep people safe, California will keep fighting because gun safety laws work.” Newsom, like many other gun control enthusiasts, fails to acknowledge that these laws primarily affect law-abiding citizens who are just trying to protect themselves and their loved ones.
Gun safety laws work.
These new laws will:
– Generate funds on the sale of bullets for school safety and gun violence intervention programs
– Strengthen public carry regulations
– Require firearms to be microstamped
– Keep guns away from dangerous individuals pic.twitter.com/Fan5q7o9Gj— California Governor (@CAgovernor) September 26, 2023
And let’s not forget Newsom’s grandiose plan to propose a constitutional amendment that would impose his radical gun control measures on all Americans. His proposal includes harsh restrictions on commonly-owned firearms, like AR-15s and AK-47s, which are unfairly demonized by pro-gun control liberals as “assault weapons.” It’s clear that Newsom wants to disarm law-abiding citizens and leave them defenseless against criminals.
But Newsom conveniently claims that his proposed amendment would leave the Second Amendment “intact.” What a load of hogwash! It’s nothing more than a disingenuous attempt to fool the American people into thinking that their rights won’t be trampled upon. We must see through this smoke and mirrors tactic and fight against any government overreach that threatens our cherished rights.
California’s continuous push for more gun control measures serves as a stark reminder of the never-ending battle we face as conservatives. The left will stop at nothing to dismantle our Second Amendment rights, and we must remain vigilant in our defense of them. Our Founding Fathers understood the importance of an armed citizenry, and it’s our duty to uphold the principles they fought and died for. We mustn’t allow power-hungry politicians like Newsom to strip away our constitutional freedoms in the name of a false sense of security. Gun safety laws may make Newsom and his ilk feel good, but they do little to keep law-abiding citizens safe.
