CA has lost two important cases challenging the infringement on the RKBA.

One gun a month law struck down by the 9th circuit.

CA must now issue carry permits to non residents. This is especially important since CA does not recognize any other states’ permits. No longer will our rights stop at the CA state line.

yay more degradation of states' rights.
 
The 14th Amendment prevents the states from violating the rights protected by the Constitution. That includes the 2A as well as others like the 1A.

You probably need to do some remedial civics lessons.
And just like 1A, all rights have restrictions.

It’s not red states putting the 10 commandments in public classrooms in direct violation of 1A.

And those restrictions have to pass strict scrutiny.

“Strict scrutiny starts from a presumption of unconstitutionality, shifting the burden of persuasion to the government, which must then produce evidence sufficient to show that its actions were constitutional. To that end, the government must show that its actions were “narrowly tailored” to further a “compelling government interest,” and that they were the “least restrictive means” to further that interest.”

One gun a month is not “least restrictive means” when a background check is accomplished.

Not recognizing other states permits while offering no way for non-CA residents to get permits is an obvious infringement.

Our scrutiny for owing a gun is currently “would you like to own a gun?”

Not even close. You really need to learn the facts rather than getting your knowledge from Hollywood or gun control groups.

Plus “strict scrutiny” is a legal term for addressing laws that infringe on constitutional rights.

Hollywood makes nothing but gun driven entertainment that generates billions in revenue. YOU need to get your retorts from something more interesting than your AOL online fights from 1998.

You obviously are just reflexively posting against our civil rights. I have never seen you back up your “assertions” with facts. It is actually pretty sad.

You’re kneejerkingly insisting an inability to have a million guns is somehow an infringement of a right. Hysterical (not the “haha” kind either)

Wow. Hyperbolic much? A million guns?

I am still waiting for you to provide facts on why these CA laws are constitutional or even effective.

No you’re not. You believe any infringement of 2A is unconstitutional. Literally any.

Quote me saying that. “Any infringement of the 2A is unconstitutional”. Just one quote. Or you can apologize for lying about me.

You can have an apology when you pry it out of my cold dead hands.

Guns = 1
People = 0

Woo Hoo!

When you lose a point, just shift gears and give those goalposts a good tug.

What action rising to the level of an infringement has you concerned with its constitutionality?

In this country? I’ll let you know when one actually comes up LOL
 
If we were able to do to 2A what the right has done to women and trans citizens’ rights in this country, there would be so many more school kids alive and without bullet wounds.

Can you make that make sense?
 
No sir. I know there is nothing I could say that would help you understand.

You wrote of doing something "to 2A", but you weren't specific about what that might be.

Are you sure you understand what you wrote yourself? If you were just copying it from someone else, it might not even mean what you think it does.
