“This is beyond concerning; it is deeply wrong,” said Attorney General Bonta. “Allowing the open carry of firearms in densely populated counties creates unnecessary anxiety, terrorizes children, and instills fear throughout our communities. The number one job of the California Department of Justice is to protect the public’s safety. The open presence of these weapons in urban environments does not make the public safer; it spreads panic and destabilizes daily life. I strongly urge the court to rehear this case so that California can continue to prevent fear, chaos, and intimidation from taking hold on the streets of our largest cities.”
— California AG Rob Bonta announcing he’s filed for en banc Ninth Circuit review of a ruling that a ban on open carry is unconstitutional
poor flip-fuck had to change its pants
I sure am glad they haven’t installed any other policies that instill panic and destabilize daily life…
California Attorney General Rob Bonta requested the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to review this decision en banc? This is my surprised face.
Let’s all remember why Jerry Brown (per his own press statement) nixed our open carry here in CA back in 2012: He said he made the decision out of concern for public safety due to poorly trained LEOs mistakenly shooting law-abiding open carriers. So the Governor who removed our open carry was doing because of the State’s concern for the actual misbehavior of law enforcement, and the current Governor wants to keep that liberty from us from a stated concern of the potential misbehavior of the victims of that law enforcement.
Clown world.
When they have no argument they always go to emotional buzzwords. Of course these creeps mention children. “beyond concerning” huh? “deeply wrong” what? I didn’t know concern ,and wrong had different levels. Bonta and his wife are the definition of grifters. Hope this little snake never makes it out of California.
Maybe we should send ICE: Major scandal in the Netherlands after it’s revealed that 125 students were made to live with 125 asylum seekers in an experiment to ‘foster integration’ and that it ended in students falling victim to gang rape, several sexual assaults and knife crime.

From Nov 1 2021 – Nov 1 2024: In California, 462,000 registered voters called for jury duty were not able to perform jury duty because they were not U.S. citizens.
Unfortunately, history shows that the Ninth Circuit will almost certainly grant en banc rehearing, and will then use all sorts of chicanery to stack the draw of judges hearing it, as Judge Van Dyke has extensively documented. And then they will simply ignore the law to reach a preordained result.
They have gotten away with it for years, and until SCOTUS grows a pair and cracks down on this blatant lawlessness, it will continue. But unfortunately, as ACB’s comments at the trans-athletes oral argument last week demonstrated in spades, ACB has apparently succumbed to Beltwayitis, and thus I fear we no longer have a majority willing to do so.
“En banc” means the entire complement of judges in the 9th Circuit. Thus, there’s no concern about the draw of judges when ALL of them are hearing the case.
Nevertheless, I do share your concern about the outcome. We haven’t managed to correct the 9th Circuit’s excesses completely yet, although I hope Trump can do that before his term is up.
As just one example of Leftist/fascist idiocy, Bonta’s ‘Golden State’, which wishes to prohibit ‘open carry’ because it will terrorize children, is ‘policed’ by CHP/state troopers, county sheriff’s deputies, city police who ALL openly carry. Haven’t noticed any horrified, fleeing crowds running away from the local cops or the state troopers.
Bonta’s insane rhetoric just capsulizes what the Leftist/fascists REALLY want – only the gummint should have guns. ‘Cause we all KNOW how ‘well-trained’ and ‘reliable’ THEY are, amirite???
The white liberals, h0m:0sezu@:als, and @t;hei:st:s want to keep the Mulford Act on the books. That racist gun control law was co-written by a Jew!sh immigrant from Poland. And member of the ACLU board of directors.
An armed society is a polite society!
