‘Not since the 1930’s has a government sought to oppress people by using signs to force them to denounce their beliefs as SB 918 does’
“There is no such thing as a gun free zone. A person intent on criminal violence will not be deterred because of a ‘no guns’ sign or an anti-gun law,” the NRA explained in 2020. “The only consequence of such measures is to ensure law-abiding citizens are disarmed and vulnerable.”
Despite being rebuked by the highest court in the land over gun control attempts, California Democrats are still trying to tell the people through dubious legislation that you can’t defend yourself with a firearm… or at least they will limit who can carry, and where you can carry.
The latest gun control legislation, Senate Bill 918 by Sen. Anthony Portantino (D-La Cañada Flintridge), appeared to be dead as it was placed on the suspense file in the Assembly Appropriations Committee August 3rd – until yesterday when it moved out with 32 pages of 185 new amendments.
The Supreme Court issued a critical decision in June striking down a New York gun law that puts unconstitutional restrictions on concealed carry of a gun out in public. And because this is the law of the land, California with its extremely restrictive gun laws was put on notice.
On behalf of Democratic California Attorney General Rob Bonta, Senate Bill 918 was introduced in February in anticipation of the Supreme Court decision.
