Governor issues harsh criticism of judge’s ‘love letter to the gun lobby’
Of course they are disgusted by the idea of people enjoying their civil rights with fewer encumbrances.
Also, the idea that a judge is motivated by the gun lobby and not the Constitution is grotesque. These people have no decency, accusing everyone that disagrees with them of being bought.
Steve Wagstaffe, San Mateo County district attorney, deeply opposed the ruling.
“I have spent decades watching carnage by criminals using assault weapons on the streets of our state inflicting incredible pain to the victims and families of victims. It is so disappointing that California’s effort to reduce this violence is crushed by one judge’s decision,” Steve Wagstaffe said. “Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who championed assault rifle bans, must be looking down from heaven in disgust at this decision.”
This is a bald faced lie.
Dianne Feinstein is in hell. She’s looking up.
State officials strongly condemned the court’s decision. In a statement on Thursday, Gov. Gavin Newsom vowed to challenge Benitez’s decision.
“Today’s radical ruling — comparing an assault rifle to a bowie knife — is a direct insult to every victim of a mass shooting and their families. Californians’ elected representatives decided almost 35 years ago that weapons of war have no place in our communities. Today, Judge Benitez decided that he knows better, public safety be damned,” Newsom said.
California is a violent shithole but California only cares about stopping law abiding citizen from buying certain types of guns.
They don’t bother to stop mass gun theft from FedEx or UPS or stopping homeless from dealing guns and drugs on the streets.
It’s not the violence that offends them, it’s the civil rights of citizens.
Good for Judge Benitez, I hope SCOTUS agrees with him.
Now with split circuits on the east coast vs west coast hopefully well actually get a supreme court decision in 10 years.
Projection is a thing. Whatever a leftist accuses someone on the right of, it’s a good bet they themselves are guilty of it.
Control freaks hate freedom.. maybe people will one day wake up and smell the fukkin liberals for what they really are- power hungry closed mind hate filled pus bags bent on wiping out all who disagrees with them. MAYBE…..
Heinlein nailed it all those years ago:
“Thing that got me was not her list of things she hated, since she was obviously crazy as a Cyborg, but fact that always somebody agreed with her prohibitions. Must be a yearning deep in human heart to stop other people from doing as they please. Rules, laws — always for other fellow. A murky part of us, something we had before we came down out of trees, and failed to shuck when we stood up. Because not one of those people said: “Please pass this so that I won’t be able to do something I know I should stop.” Nyet, tovarishchee, was always something they hated to see neighbors doing. Stop them “for their own good” — not because speaker claimed to be harmed by it.” – Manny, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
But… those awful gun owners are only one bad day away from being a mass murderer!

Even more ‘disgusting’ to them is that the Constitution is still in effect in CA, even as they try to legislate around it.
