California Is At It Again With More Gun Control Insanity

It's a new wrinkle on an old play out of the gun grabbers playbook. Newsom signed a new law that allows residents, the state and local governments to sue members of the firearms industry that manufacture or sell "abnormally dangerous guns." And guess what this law fails to define? Abnormally dangerous guns, of course. Yep...gotta keep that part vague as the object isn't for the plaintiff to win its lawsuit. The object is for the gov't to inflict as much financial damage on the firearm industry as possible.

But it gets better. The abnormally dangerous law expands its scope beyond California's border. The article provides the following example:
"...a Tennessee company that manufacturers guns that are legal in its state but that meet California's definition of "abnormally dangerous" could still face liability under the law even its products were shipped to nearby Arizona and used later to commit a crime in California."

U.S. District Judge Andrew Schopler, who ironically happens to be a Biden appointee, issued a preliminary injuction, barring a lawsuit. Not because it violates the 2nd Amendment, of course, but because it interferes with interstate commerce.

Ohhhno how dare they try to do something to try and keep crazy people from getting these insane weapons 😨
@SW-User this law has nothing to do with how people (sane or not) acquire firearms. Besides, how many mass shooters were known to the FBI and law enforcement as a risk to society before the crime, yet did nothing about it?

@BizSuitStacy

The FBI was much too busy filing false FISA court affidavits about Russian collusion and suppressing information about laptops.
@Thinkerbell yep...it's all about priorities

I'm pretty sure some Federal agent has some time to get involved, but not for the sake of public safety.

@badminton The term "conspiracy theorist", once a pejorative, apparently now means "the person that was observant and correct all along."
@badminton You're the most paranoid gun grabber on SW. I figured you'd be leading the charge against this.

@IronHamster No it doesn't. Conspiracy theorist means either a delusional nutcase or a malicious charlatan deliberately spreading false and harmful misinformation.

Don't naively believe something you see on the interwebs. Seek opinions from various sources. Look for verifiable, documented evidence, not just claims. Anyone can make a claim. Having verifiable evidence is a much different thing.

@badminton Odd, because conspiracy theorists pegged the Wuhan lab as the start of the pandemic, nailed Fauci as the guy that funded the lab, etc. Not much nutcase stuff there unless you still believe that if you get the jab you can't get Covid and can't spread Covid. Snicker snicker.

@IronHamster Gee, then how come tens of millions of people, including me, have had the Covid vaccine and are perfectly healthy.
IronHamster · 56-60, M
@badminton Lots of people that got the vaccine did still get it and did still spread it. Your apparent health does not contradict these facts, now, does it.

@IronHamster No they didn't.
