California's Magazine Ban has been handed a blow

quote [ "Individual liberty and freedom are not outmoded concepts," San Diego-based U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez wrote as he declared unconstitutional the law that would have banned possessing any magazines holding more than 10 bullets. ]

This does not mean you can put a normal sized 30rd Magazine on a featureless rifle because it still becomes an Assault Weapon under California law by virtue of being able to hold more then 10rds.

Titter CEO Interview

quote [ Whether Dorsey does this all deliberately or not, the reason his impassioned defenses of Twitter sound like gibberish is because they are. ]

This man is Master ProPR Bullshit Black Belt. If you know how to go up through levels of tech support I expect that this is the final boss level.

ATF Bans Bump Stocks

quote [ The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) released text of a final rule banning bump stock devices. The rule is notable because bump stocks were used in a recent high-profile mass shooting, and because it is a major regulatory action in an administration known for deregulation. ]

I don't personally want one but I don't like this.

This is not Fine.

quote [ “Some feel that we as society are sitting in a burning room, calmly drinking a cup of coffee, telling ourselves this is fine,” ]

I was listening to NPR this morning and heard the Senator say this. The commentators didn't say anything about the meme. The commentators did ask a salient question: If the administration is saying that Russian hacking is a problem does it matter what Don Cheeto says?

California Cracks Down On AR-15 Owners

quote [ 6 New Gun Control Laws Enacted In California, As Gov. Brown Signs Bills ]

I didn't want any of these laws but I figure a lot of people here would like to celebrate. I for one can't wait to see how this will play out.
