Well, not legally possessed in CA anyway. That doesn’t preclude a CA resident from possessing them while out of state. | |||

As others have pointed out, the original order was quite well written. Read page 55 - "talismanic incantation". If I remember correctly, one of the takings arguments relied on a case about destroying alcohol stills. The difference in this case is that you can rebuild a still from existing equipment. You can't replace a magazine with easy parts once taken. | |||

I don't agree with your reasoning. By that measure when you get old, whatever that means, then perhaps you are too old to own a gun. | |||

The other problem is that we are not all equal. Some folks, even if diminished, will be far sharper in their 80s that the average fellow on the best day of his life. Different folks will diminish differently, and at different rates. Some folks might be diminished enough that they should no longer be on the job at fifty. Others may still be going strong well into their 80s. There is no one age limit that is appropriate for everyone. | |||

When did holding office or serving as a judge become a protected constitutional right? Come on, you're off track with the 2A commentary. When you're sitting on Capital Hill or on the federal bench, you have incredible power over the lives of others. Think about it, many of the dinosaurs on capital hill haven't a clue about a majority of the tech (Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, etc) that affects the lives of millions everyday. As such, how in the hell could they ever be expected to render rational opinions on how that tech could or should be regulated. I stand by my suggestion that age limits should be put in place for 'all' federal and elected positions. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

Not a huge victory. But given it's Kommiefornia and the 9th Circus, one has to celebrate even the small ones. This is just upholding a stay. All that means is there are grounds to think the plaintiffs have a possibility of a win. Even though the judges in the 9th Circus know they'll side with the state once a decision is finally rendered. _______________________ “The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them.

The founders surely weighed these and other considerations and factors in determining the structure of the government which have served us well, albeit imperfectly perhaps. Due process would seem to require some sort of grounds to remove this office holder, other than mere age. Read his dissent. Other than making some evaluations you disapprove of, this seems to have been the work of an active alert, discerning mind, rather than some slobbering senile mind in between naps. It might be argued that the decisions of active and sound office holders have often been less perfect than the less abled. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

The appeal was rejected 2-1. That was quick.

That is the same story. A district judge in San Diego issued an injunction against enforcing the new law, last summer. The 3 judge appellate panel just upheld the injunction. Next will be whether the 9th Circuit will hear the case en banc. If not, on to the Supremes! Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
