(CALIFORNIA GLOBE) – Despite being rebuked by the highest court in the country over gun control attempts last year, California Democrats continue to tell the people through shady 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 June 2022 U.S. Supreme Court issued a critical decision in New York Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen striking down a New York gun law that put 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.
Last year, Senator Anthony J. Portantino’s (D–Burbank) annual gun control legislation restricting CCW permit holders, Senate Bill 918, appeared to be dead as it was placed on the suspense file in the Assembly Appropriations Committee – until he it moved out with 32 pages of 185 new amendments. However, SB 918 died in the Assembly.
“We are faced with the continued threat of mass shootings and a gun violence epidemic,” Portantino says.
Portantino came back in 2023 with Senate Bill 2, also sponsored by Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta, which was just passed by the Senate Thursday. SB 2 will again illegally impose restrictions on those seeking a California CCW permit.
