Has Gavin Newsom Undergone a Miraculous Road to Damascus Gun Rights Conversion?

Gavin Newsom gun SIG SAUER P365 XMACRO

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s declaration last week during a visit with Tennessee-based podcaster Shawn Ryan—where the governor accepted a SIG SAUER pistol—saying that he is “not anti-gun…just for gun safety” needs affirmation by action, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms observed.

“Assuming that Newsom’s epiphany is real and he is trying to revive a pro-gun wing of the Democratic Party as exemplified by Eleanor Roosevelt and Hubert Humphrey,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “he can demonstrate this by telling gun grabbers in the California legislature to end their crusade against Second Amendment rights. He can tell Assemblyman Jesse Gabriel to stop his war on GLOCK pistols. And, to solidify his newly-professed pro-gun philosophy, Newsom can force major amendments to Senate Bill 704, which imposes new requirements on barrel transfers, or veto the legislation altogether.”

Although Newsom was gifted with the SIG pistol, he left the gun with Ryan so it may be legally transferred to him back in California, where it will be shipped via a federally-licensed firearms dealer. When the gun arrives, the governor can fill out the necessary paperwork and go through the state’s 10-day waiting period after he passes a background check. If he plans to carry concealed, he must obtain a California Firearm Safety Certificate before he applies for a carry permit.

“We will wait with bated breath for Gov. Newsom to announce he has completed all of the California requirements,” Gottlieb said, “and then he can show us a sample of his safety and marksmanship skills, which should be rather enlightening. 

“Newsom might further cement his position as a gun rights champion by encouraging Attorney General Rob Bonta to drop his opposition to lawsuits brought by the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and others,” Gottlieb added. “He can also lobby the State Assembly to change California anti-gun laws passed hastily to get around the Supreme Court’s 2022 ruling in the Bruen case.  

“The governor’s daughter turns 18 in 2027,” he noted. “How will Gavin react if she wants to own a handgun for personal protection? He might start now by encouraging Bonta to support SAF’s efforts to overturn state and federal restrictions against handgun ownership by young adults.

“Gavin has a ways to go before he convinces anyone he has turned over a new leaf on gun rights,” Gottlieb said. “He should start right now.”

    No he has not.

    President Trump will always be a far superior supporter of civil rights than governor Newscum.

    And I’m glad Shawn Ryan had him on.

    Next he can have a man on wear a dress. Saying he has no interest in having sex with children as he reads to them.

    Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

  2. Newsom: “Look at me kids. I can be cool. I’m not some leftist scold. I’m doing podcasts and making tweets calling people cucks.”

    “Has Gavin Newsom Undergone a Miraculous Road to Damascus Gun Rights Conversion?”

    What a stupid question.

    I mean, look at it, the same basic question was asked for almost every one of his ‘so called’ conversions for one thing or another. For example, in that podcast where he got the gun, he was asked …

    “Ryan: Is 8 years old too young for a sex change?

    Newsom: Yeah… Now that I have a 9-year-old, come on man, I get it.”

    Yet for every year he has been governor of California, each and every year, in California the number of 6 – 8 year olds subjected to ‘sex change’ procedures with drugs attempting to stop development of their natural born biological sex factors from maturing has doubled each year. Thousands of 6-8 year olds basically sentenced to a life of hell of pain and chronic disease and infections and wasting bodies and shortened life spans when they get older and grow up by saying it was an ok thing to do to pump them full of dangerous drugs to convert them to the opposite sex. And Newsom wants more of it.

    And how about the palisades thing in LA – the wild fires destroyed all those homes, the residents wanted to rebuild but they could not get the required permits because basically by using ‘bureaucracy’ the government was not going to issue the permit while making it look like ‘sure, just get a permit’ but didn’t issue them. Newsom said then in a ‘conversion moment’ that they were not going to take the land and build affordable housing so have no fear of that and you folks would be able to rebuild – and he made these promises knowing all along that a bill was about to pass (and did pass later, just a few days ago) that would let LA purchase the land for wayyyy below market value, and if you didn’t sell they could just take it, to use it to build affordable housing.

    And how about that 28th amendment thing that would have tried to do away with the 2A buy making it impossible to exercise.

    …and a thousand more examples of his duplicity and deceptions and anti-rights activities.

    His whole career has been anti-gun, and it still continues even as I write this, and ya think now that he has an idea about running for president and needs to ingratiate himself with potential voters that this Kamala inspired stunt of basically “Hey, I can hold a gun, see I’m pro 2A.” is a “Miraculous Road to Damascus Gun Rights Conversion”. Its a stupid question, and the answer is obvious and that answer is ‘He11 No!’

    That oil in his hair is snake oil.

    No, Gavin Newsom has not undergone any “Miraculous Road to Damascus Gun Rights Conversion” on gun rights. All he has undergone is delivering yet another ‘Wizard of Oz’ tactic trying to fool people with ‘hey, look at and listen to me cause I’m on your side.” when you should be paying more attention to the ‘man behind the curtain’ of his deceptions.

      and on the subject of the podcast, its not escaped notice that he lied basically continually through the whole thing about his record…

      ‘SON OF A B****’: Newsom hurls jaw-dropping insults at Trump as he mulls 2028 bid (especially listen to the guy starting at 2:13 where he points that he lied through the whole thing about his record).

        Outraged Victims Stop Dems’ Palisades Land Grab at the Point of a Fire Hose.



        During a slowdown of permit activity for L.A. fire victims trying to rebuild their lost homes, elective thieves in Sacramento were busy trying to write a law to allow the state and county officials to swoop in, “bank” the properties, and build low-income housing in some of the highest-end real estate in the county.

        I wrote about this in my story this week entitled California Democrats (Looking at You, Gavin Newsom) Pull a Bait and Switch on Palisades Fire Victims.

        When fire victims in both the Palisades and Altadena found out could lose their properties to a proposed county agency that would use tax dollars to jujitsu them out of their land rights, they trained their fire hoses on the Santa Monica state senator who proposed Senate Bill 549.
        …”

  4. Big deal. He is just playing politician. He’s just picking up a gun to act like he really is for gun rights. Everybody knows he’s a snake in the grass. He’s a liberal. And liberal policies are loser policies for this nation.

    If Newsom wasn’t a politician he’d be running a phone scam network using illegal aliens, and trying to get tax dollars to pay for it.

    “Assuming that Newsom’s epiphany is real and he is trying to revive a pro-gun wing of the Democratic Party as exemplified by Eleanor Roosevelt and Hubert Humphrey,”

    That’s a whole lot of imagination ‘assumption’ right there. Are you sure you understand this is Gavin Newsom?

    Ya remember that gun Newsom got as a gift on the pod cast? Wellll…

    Newsom Gets Wrecked By His Own Gun Laws.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-rez26XFp8&pp

    After the podcast was over Newsom gave the gun back. His own state gun laws would not let him have it, he probably never really intended to keep it anyway. They had to call in a team of lawyers to interpret the California gun laws and they were so confusing the lawyers could not figure them out, the very laws Newsom signed into law. So Newsom got denied gun possession by Newsom.
