But we do this for your own good. We only want to keep you safe. Why can’t you see how much we care about you?
We have heard it all before, courtesy of the same tyrants who locked us in our homes five years ago.
According to Cal Matters — a California-focused news outlet — on Thursday the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that the Golden State’s unprecedented law requiring background checks for ammunition purchases violates the Second Amendment, prompting a predictable meltdown from the state’s resident tyrant, Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.
“Strong gun laws save lives,” the governor pontificated in a written statement, “and today’s decision is a slap in the face to the progress California has made in recent years to keep its communities safer from gun violence. Californians voted to require background checks on ammunition and their voices should matter.”
Justice Sandra Segal Ikuta saw things differently.
“Given the fees and delays associated with California’s ammunition background check regime, and the wide range of transactions to which it applies, we conclude that, in all applications, the regime meaningfully constrains California residents’ right to keep and bear arms,” Ikuta wrote in the majority opinion.
