Recently the notoriously liberal, 9th circuit court, held that open carry of a firearm in CA is legal and that the magazines with more than 10 rounds are also legal, and this is based solely on Constitutional grounds.
Okay, so that’s great – I agree with them. They were finally forced to restrain a crazy CA legislature that has been passing un-Constitutional laws for years. Our legislature has gone too far and they just got spanked. (Ha-ha)
Now two gun laws have been returned to where they were for the last 150 years. But, that wasn’t good enough for the CA Dept. of Justice was it? No. They vowed to vigorously pursue the restoration of these overturned and now illegal gun laws.
In other words, they are choosing to support by the power of their state office, those two un-Constitutional (illegal) laws because… why? Because their democrat handlers told them too? Because they are packed full of far left ideologs and don’t care what the Constitution says?
They are publicly saying they will use their office (and your tax money) to reverse the decision of the Appellate Court. The last time I checked, this was NOT in their job description. By the way, I just checked again 5 minutes ago.
“The DoJ, is responsible for the enforcement of the law and administration of justice. The DoJ carries out complex criminal & civil investigations, prosecutions, and other legal services throughout the state.” The Dept. of Justice, like any other law enforcement body, is charged with enforcing the laws on the books. They are not a lobbying group and they clearly have no right to play anti-gun politics. Their job is to serve the will of the people and enforce the law. This deviation is outrageous breach of protocol and it calls into question, is our Dept. of Justice just a corrupt, politically controlled, arm of the Democratic Party? If so, shouldn’t they be investigated by the federal Dept. of Justice or the FBI?
My humble opinion is, California is corrupt. We’ve become a virtual socialist state run by far left, power hungry, crazy-people that do not respect my gun rights, our federal authority or the Constitution of the United States.
What’s your opinion?
You are absolutely correct. And the result of a lunkhead legislature dominated by Demwits.
What’s really amazing is that the ruling was handed down from the 9th Circus!
And since Taxiforrnia has decided to allow Illegals to vote, until that’s challenged and removed I doubt if there’s much hope for regaining sanity.
“And since Taxiforrnia has decided to allow Illegals to vote”
This did not happen.
“This did not happen”, Yes it has, sort of, San Francisco has established a first step, while the illegals may not be able to vote in all election now, in Francisco they used one of the popular 3 reasons to pass a proposition. As well as schools to pass this city ordinance.
The big 3 are always, Clean air, Clean water and Kids!
So while it may be limited right now, give it time as the Liberals use this toe hold to expand and champion a new base of voters.

Harold, thanks for the link…I found this part enlightening, “If our apathetic citizens continue to turn out at barely 50 percent in off-year elections, the chances of motivated non-citizens having a substantial impact on the outcomes of entry-level political races such as Board of Education, will increase as both politicians and non-citizens see a path forward for real foreign influence in our elections, far more tangible and potent than the specter of Russian bots tweeting propaganda in a social media echo chamber. While we are distracted by such issues at the national level, on the ground, non-Americans are having a growing impact every day at the polls. The Russian bots aren’t voting on the billion-dollar school board governance – but foreign nationals surely are, and the movement is coming to a city near you.”
Chris is back and is STILL wrong! Already happening in San Francisco. And it’ the old “camel’s nose under the tent.”
Build it, and they will come.

You already know my opinion, Jack. GTFO. It is a perfect example of what would have happened had the Witch of Chappaqua been elected. Somebody breaking the law? Just who exactly were you planning to call?
Yeah, when the Deep State bangs on the door and tells you to hand them over … you let me know. In the meantime, I recommend Ativan.
And I’d give this serious thought, because, in this Glorious State of California, if you publicly demonstrate irrational paranoias, political or otherwise, they WILL come take your guns. What’s more, you are just not going to be able to find too many people who object to this.
Hey Libby, just letting you know:
http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/california-sending-swat-teams-to-seize-guns-from-legal-registered-owners/
https://bearingarms.com/bob-o/2017/04/04/state-forced-return-500-guns-incompetent-doj-raid/
and there are more links, should you really want to know!
and yes this is how Hitlers Germany started out with gun control methods by singling out certain classes of people and establishing a precedence for gun confiscation.
Harold, you are going to have to find reports NOT made by gun-nuts … if you want to be persuasive.
Libby, I would suggest you open your eyes and mind to what has already taken place By A.J. K.Harris, (prior CA AG) and documented with actual court decisions, then reported.
You need to understand that Legal gun owners are responsible people, with overwilling evidence to support my comment, and not your contrary smear they are gun-nuts. But your anti gun smear is typical of the false hood your ideology so often uses to mislead people.
What California has done already is documented, and if it takes pro gun people to bring out the truth, so be it.
However if your going to wallow in the selective Liberal crap you read in Salon or Huff post, you will never have the facts correct to understand the truth .
I gave you viable links to start, if they don’t suit your ideology, that’s not my problem, but yours.
However if you cant get beyond your own blindness to what direction California will go to achieve it’s real position of trouncing ALL 2nd Amendment rights, which includes spinning false Liberal propaganda about guns, as well as anything political to achieve a anti gun population, then please keep your bias to yourself, because your just parroting the false BS spewed by anti gun propaganda.
Jack: as a friend I want to caution you to temper your remarks. The State isn’t going to continue to allow such treasonous dissent for much longer. You’re already on the list of registered gun owners, and I’m sure your history of anti-social blogging is being re-examined closely. Be aware that resistance is futile.
I’ve told you this before, and I know you don’t care, but Hitler didn’t enact “gun control” in Nazi Germany. He actually loosened gun regulations on the citizenry, as Nazi Germany was a macho, gun-loving culture. Jews were declared non-citizens and had all their property confiscated; you may as well say Hitler favored “bike control” since that was among the first items the Nazis stole from them.
I am more pro-gun than I used to be, but the meme you’re using here is misleading.
Did I mention Hitler? I don’t think so. I don’t think I ever have in this context. I don’t give a rat’s @$$ what the nazis did in the context of today’s Big State
I don’t know how you mistook my comment on Regular Jack’s article, which uses an inaccurate meme claiming Hitler supported gun control, as a reply to you, Cherokee Jack.
The simplicity of your argument, Chris, is extremely misleading.
An article in
The American Spectator, “Hitler and Gun Control,” cites a report, “Gun Control in the Third Reich: Disarming the Jews and “Enemies of the State,” by Stephen P. Halbrook:
Re: “As an educator, Chris, you are obligated to know the truth about a subject and teach the children of America.”
That fell on deaf ears. The only obligation Chris has is to cherry pick information that serves his political agenda. Intelligent students will figure out he is full of it. The rest will become Democrats , Antifa or inmates.
The other (left) shoe has dropped
Tina,
Halbrook is not a historian, but a litigator and gun lobbyist. I don’t take issue with much of the facts the American Spectator piece cites from him, but the interpretation of those facts–that there is something inherently Nazi-like about gun control, and that legal access to guns would have helped the Jews avoid the Holocaust–is disputed by historians and Jewish groups alike.
Again, I do favor the individual right to bear arms and I won’t deny that is under threat by elements on the left. But the Hitler analogy is strained.
I do find this part, which I think is your words, ironic:
Words like “enemy of the state” or “radical elements” and “unauthorized” made every citizen a target for gun confiscation depending on their cooperation and loyalty to Hitler’s Germany which later expanded to include the nations he invaded and took over.
The left has been using similar methods to oppress people and deny them their rights under our Constitution. Right wing affiliated law abiding citizens have been labeled “a threat to our democracy,” accused of “racism,” and placed on “hate” lists. Their speech and assembly rights have been denied. Twitter and Facebook accounts have been banned or manipulated. And left wing leaders in states and cities across the nation are refusing to enforce laws.
The current president has literally labeled the news media the “enemy of the people.” He has placed children in the equivalent of internment camps because of misdemeanor offenses committed by their parents, with no real plan on how to reunite them. I don’t like Hitler analogies period, but the Nazi-like rhetoric you point out above is eerily close to Trump’s own. There are oppressive forces on both sides of the aisle and they should be fought wherever they are found.
Chris, the President said that fake news is the enemy of the people…there’s a distinct difference….a fake news difference.
Trump has placed children in the same facilities that Obama placed them in…fake news at work again!
In what way have American citizens been “oppressed” by Trump? Not his words, Chris, his actions. Trumps tweets cannot possibly equal the horrendous multitude of left wing criticisms, lies and propaganda that have been united against him. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. There isn’t an equivalency to draw.
Trump is refusing to tolerate the hate filled intentions to ruin him. He is simply fighting back…and with people that used to invite him to be on their shows, fawned all over him, and welcomed him to their weddings and parties. Such phoniness is a high indicator of persons with very little integrity and a willingness to do anything for power and control.
“Chris, the President said that fake news is the enemy of the people…there’s a distinct difference….a fake news difference.”
No, there is not a difference. Trump calls any news that he doesn’t like “fake news.” When he says the “fake news media,” he is referring to CNN, CBS, MSNBC…basically every cable news organization other than FOX. He’s also including the New York Times, the Washington Post, AP, and every fact-checking agency in that assessment.
In other words, the news media.
You know that, and you must know I know that, so I’m unclear who exactly you’re trying to mislead here.
“Trump has placed children in the same facilities that Obama placed them in…fake news at work again!”
Misleading again. The facilities under Obama were only used for *unaccompanied* minors, and they were put there because there was nowhere else for them to go, and released quickly. Obama did NOT intentionally separate children from their parents, as the Trump administration chose to do as a deterrence policy (Sessions’ own words). When families were caught illegally crossing, they were released and given court dates, to which 75% of them returned to. Huge difference–the Trump administration did not have a plan for how to humanely accommodate that many children, leading to the dehumanizing conditions I am sure you have read about included forcible drugging.
“In what way have American citizens been “oppressed” by Trump?”
I didn’t say he oppressed American citizens, but since you asked, kicking trans soldiers out of the military certainly counts.
Not his words, Chris, his actions. Trumps tweets cannot possibly equal the horrendous multitude of left wing criticisms, lies and propaganda that have been united against him. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. There isn’t an equivalency to draw.
You can’t pretend that Trump is simply “fighting back” when he opened with aggression. He made his political reputation by attacking Obama’s citizenship with lies. During his campaign announcement he fearmongered about Mexican immigrants, implying that most were rapists, drug dealers and murderers. Was he just “fighting back” when he said Megyn Kelly must have been on her period because she asked him a mildly tough question? Was he “fighting back” when he said POWs weren’t heroes? Was he “fighting back” when he said no one would vote for Carly Fiorina because she was ugly? Was he “fighting back” when he said Ted Cruz’s wife was ugly and that his dad probably had something to do with the JFK assassination? Was he “fighting back” when he said Jeb Bush had to support illegal immigration because his wife was Mexican? Was he “fighting back” when he said a judge might not be able to rule fairly on a case involving him because the judge was Mexican?
Tell me, what did any of these (Republican) ever say about him to justify these petty attacks?
You need to accept that this guy is just a mean, awful, unethical person. You can do that and still hate the Left.
Cherokee Jack, yup that thought has cross my so-called mind several times recently.
One of these days I’ll probably discover I’m on a no-fly list. If that ever happens… I betcha when I return home all disappointed cause I missed my vacation, the guberment men will be waiting for me!
I can just imagine Ms. Libby standing on top of an armored personnel carrier provided by DOJ, pointing me out to the Uber-democrat sniper squad perched in my trees. She screams, “That’s him, that’s him! He’s probably got a gun or something…shoot that sucker, he’s a conservative!” Followed by a cacophony of ka-pow-pow, pa-pa-pow, blam, blam, blam, blam, rattatatat, kapow, then a huge window shattering BOOM as a small mushroom cloud appears right where my ol Buick was stopped. Nothing there now but a blackened hole. (Libs got me with a DOJ issued AT-4 rocket). At this point my old friend, you feel free to take over this blog. In that totally [likely] event…. I better wish much luck aforehand. ; )
Jack; I appreciate the offer of the blog, but I’m quite sure I’ve been on the List for many years. And if the State didn’t know until now that we’re co-conspirators, they do now.
Oh my gosh Jack, you’re right, sorry bout that. But, there’s a good chance they already had us on the same watch list anywho… your state tax dollars at work!
Lippy would make a good comic book character. *SLAM!*
Yes, they are coming for your guns. They will demand you be unarmed and helpless.
Your only hope is the State of Jefferson.
Demorats doing what they do best…raising taxes.
Your cell phone bill is going up. It says 20 to 80 cents per line per month but we all know the politicians and bureaurats typically under state how much they will stick us for, AKA lie! Of course they will tell you it’s for your own good and never mention the mess they’ve already made of 911. And of course the 9 billion dollar surplus. As usual incompetence and corruption are rewarded and taxpayers foot that bill. Thanks Demorats!

Given their statements it should be fairly clear to anyone paying any attention that the California DOJ is an extreme left-wing corrupted, deep state machine that has turned into anti-2nd Amendment activists instead of doing the job we pay them for.
No one mentioned Hitler here until Chris unilaterally brought it up. Of course Chris gets it only partly right about about Hitler and gun confiscation. The devil is in the details, but as you all know Chris is only concerned with certain details. Of course Chris completely ignores issue of this post — namely the astonishing statements from the California DOJ — and attempts to deflect the conversation to something no one really gives a flying **** about. That is Chris for you. His usual self absorbed mindless dreck trying to deflect. Nothing changes.
As for Libby, she is just nuts: “…if you publicly demonstrate irrational paranoias, political or otherwise, they WILL come take your guns.” Oh really? Give us a few examples. I am sincerely interested in hearing if any law enforcement agency is actually doing that.
“No one mentioned Hitler here until Chris unilaterally brought it up.”
You are incorrect. Go back and look at the original post. Jack included a misleading meme that claims Hitler implemented gun control.
“Of course Chris gets it only partly right about about Hitler and gun confiscation. The devil is in the details, but as you all know Chris is only concerned with certain details.”
I appreciate you saying I got it partly right–that’s a big compliment from you given our history together. 🙂 I would be interested in what you think I have wrong on this issue.
As for the majority of Jack’s post, we probably agree here–I am in favor of open carry, and am to the right of most liberals on gun control. I did find Jack’s article a bit vague–he didn’t really make it clear which laws the California DOJ are going after. I focused on the Hitler/other dictators meme because it was inaccurate, and I care about correcting inaccurate information (on both the left and right–check my Twitter account [if you remember who I am there] and you’ll see I critique liberal misrepresentations on gun issues often).
Uh, I did. You are the usual bullshit. Nevertheless, who gives a damn? You have nothing to say about the outrageous statements from the Cal DOJ? Of course not.
I have nothing to say about the outrageous statements from the Cal DOJ because I don’t know what they are, because Jack didn’t cite them.
So you’re literally asking me to address something that was not in the post, right after falsely claiming that I brought up something that you thought was not in the post.
Now I remember why it’s hard for us to communicate.
“As for the majority of Jack’s post, we probably agree here–I am in favor of open carry, and am to the right of most liberals on gun control.”
Why do I not believe Chris? This is the same ***hole who has called Jack a racist, bigot, xenophobe which he thinks passes as an argument.
He is all for “reasonable” gun control and has NOTHING to say about the Cal DOJ statements.
DUH.
Open carry? This from the dork who is against California teachers carrying handguns to protect students from the insane. Fraud.
Pie, that argument is not logical, as I am sure you know. One can support of open carry without supporting guns on school campuses. I oppose the latter because the potential dangers outweigh the potential benefits. There have been no documented cases of armed teachers protecting students from madmen, while there have been many documented cases of armed teachers misplacing their weapons on campus, accidentally firing their weapons, and even threatening self-harm on campus.
I base my opinions on facts and what works, not on ideology.
It’s been many decades since I registered to vote, but remember there was only one voter registration form. Has that changed? Does anyone know?
Just curious if there are forms for US citizens and another for non-citizens? Are there forms now, or will be, for non-citizens with ONLY school board candidates listed for every school board election? Or will it be the honor system where the non-citizens gets the complete ballot for their prescient instructed to ONLY vote for certain elections?
I see this as a massive backdoor to voter fraud. One wrong flip of a switch and non-citizens will be voting for candidates in every election from school board to US president, with no way to recall the ballots. No way. No thanks.
Oh, geez.
On the one hand, the future of democracy would seem to be doubtful … non-existent, even.
Or … can we be relieved that such a flaming ignoramus does not vote?
Nope. All bad. We’s done.
Now what? Paper ballots?

Another Branco cartoon that hist the bullseye!
http://dailytorch.com/2018/07/cartoon-nothing-to-hide/
As Jack (our Jack) well knows, I once had the honor of working for Cal DOJ as an investigator. Those were the days of Evel Younger and George Dukemajian. We did not accomplish too much, because of weak laws and weak judges, but we worked hard and took pride in our work. I moved away to a better law enforcement job in a better state that has not yet been usurped by radical libs, unless you count RINOS such as McCain and Flake (what a flake). Every now and then, I look back at this blog to see how bad things have gotten in California, and I thank God I’m outta there.
Soaps, you made the right choice when you left CA. I wish I had moved to either Texas or in Az. As I write the sky here is yellow brown, the particulates from wild fires are 300% over the safe levels. We’re told to expect regular fires like this because of CA changing climate and the way liberals mismanaged our forests.
