CA State Legislature Just Voted to Take Away the Right of Gun Ownership from 18-20-Year-Olds

The state legislature in California just voted to restrict the right to buy guns to those who are 21-years-old or older.

California, a state that already has strict gun control laws, voted on a bill that restricts the ability of those ages 18-20 from buying AR-15s or any other rifles.

The state already banned young adults from owning handguns. The bill, SB 1100, prohibits “the sale or transfer of any firearm by a licensed dealer, except as specifically exempted, to any person under 21 years of age.”

The author of the bill, state Sen. Anthony Portantino (D-Calif.) told ABC7, “As a dad and legislator, I am determined to help California respond appropriately to the tragic events on school campuses. It is imperative that California leads when Washington refuses to act.”

This isn’t Portantino’s only gun control legislation. He also proposed a bill that would limit the number of guns an individual can buy to just one per month.

Many saw this to be a violation of the rights of 18-20-year-old adults in California.

Opponents to the bill also noted that most school shooters are over the age of 21, voiding Portantino’s logic that this will prevent school shootings.

In addition to Sen. Portantino’s bill, there are many state legislators who are in favor of bills that restrict gun access. There have been multiple that were proposed or recently passed in California:

.All semi-automatic weapons are now legally called “assault weapons.” All “assault weapons” must be registered by the state, as of June 30, 2018.
.All detachable magazines that hold ten or more rounds were banned, but a gun-rights group took the law to court, delaying the law from taking effect. The Ninth Circuit will decide what happens from here.
.Gun owners cannot have ammunition sent to their home. They must buy it from a licensed dealer.
.Gun owners must clear a background check to buy ammunition starting in 2019.
.Gun owners cannot bring ammunition across state lines.
As far as the most recent age restriction, there are a few exceptions to the law. If a young adult has a valid hunting license, is a police officer, or active in the military, they are allowed to purchase weapons.

The age restriction isn’t the law, yet. It must first be signed by Governor Jerry Brown (D-Calif.), but it is extremely unlikely that he would prevent this bill from becoming law.

‘This Is a Real Crisis at Our Border’: VP Pence Backs Trump’s Push and Reiterates ‘No Wall, No Deal’

Image
The partial government shutdown continues into its fourteenth day as Democrats continue to battle against President Donald Trump’s demand for $5.6 billion in border wall funding, instead of coming up with an alternative solution. However, Vice President Mike Pence is backing the president as he said, “No wall, no deal.” During an exclusive interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, Pence reiterated that the Trump administration’s focus is on border security, calling for the need for the border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The vice president explained that the president has made it clear “we’re here to make a deal” when meeting with top Democrats and Republicans on listening and negotiating funds. “You have no border security without a wall,” Pence said. “We will have no deal without a wall.” Pence went on to say there has been no negotiation — adding that they are prepared to listen and negotiate — on the border wall, claiming that even the American people know that “walls wor...

Cindy McCain on Jeffrey Epstein: ‘We All Knew What He Was Doing’

Image
Appearing earlier in January at an event on human trafficking, Cindy McCain, widow of the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), said that everyone was aware of deceased pedophile Jeffrey’s Epstein’s alleged sex crimes, and she criticized law enforcement for waiting so long to arrest him. A partial transcript is as follows: AUDIENCE MEMBER: I’m going to shoot straight. The perception among a lot of young people is that there is an untouchable ring of governmental and economic elites in this country that not only benefit, but actively participated in sex trafficking. Jeffrey Epstein was an example. Robert Kraft was arrested not for from here on trafficking charges. In terms of this as a grassroots movement, are these power players a priority for us right now? Can we even touch them or is this a pipedream we need to address in the future, somehow? CINDY MCCAIN: It’s like everything. It hides in plain sight. Epstein was hiding in plain sight. We all knew about him. We all knew what he was doin...
