Toughest fighting pro-gun organization in CA: The battle is in the political trenches & victory won't be assured until the last anti-gun legislator is defeated
We did it. SB 918 is dead! Our job is done. Thank you to everyone who contacted their legislatures asking them to vote no. Our efforts are just beginning. We need your support for all of the lawsuits in our future. No Compromise !
As we have said all along, this law was unconstitutional, by any stretch of the imagination and Judge Benitez sees it as we do. He suspended the entire law!
The 2nd Amendment trumps CEOs and anti gun zealots. SCOTUS will hear case this December which may resolve this once and for all. Ignorance should drive policy.

145 business leaders are demanding that the Senate support common-sense gun laws.
CEOs, retailers, consumers, moms, dads, teachers, students — people across our country are speaking out. The Senate better perk up and listen — or they’re getting voted out.
Large Capacity Magazine ban ruled unconstitutional by Judge Roger T. Benitez. Now the state will go crying to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. On the road to total victory. AW ban & Ammo laws next. Stay tuned.

Australia, one of the most gun controlled country in the world couldn’t stop a deranged killer because his victims were defenseless. The 2A allows us to defend ourselves. Guns save lives, criminals take lives. The answer is crime control, not gun control.
We have failed too many families and communities with no action on gun violence. No more. It’s time to do the right thing and get serious about this gun epidemic.
Today Judge Roger T. Benitez set the timeframe for the overturning of significant gun control laws in California. 70 days and counting for freedom to begin in the Golden State.
Once again old Joe still believes in fairy tales, the “assault weapons ban” didn’t stop crime before and it isn’t stopping crime now. He is long on words and short on facts and truth.

@JoeBiden
recount that whole story and miss the biggest takeaway: California's so-called "Assault Weapons" Ban did NOTHING to protect those celebrating the Lunar New Year.
Gavin Newsom only thinks judges are extremist when their opinions don’t coincide with his Leftist policies. Truth is, he’d be hard-pressed to find CCW holders who’ve gone crosswise with the law.
Extremist judges have overturned CA's gun law and are insisting that guns be allowed at our playgrounds, libraries, and hospitals.
Seriously.
This is exactly why we need to pass a US Constitutional Amendment that will put in place common sense reforms like:
- Universal
Stunning victory. Judge Benitez rules CA’s so-called Assault Weapons Ban unconstitutional! He said “the 2A stands as a shield from government imposition of that policy.” Expect the 9th to drag this out as much as they can…our side is ready for that.
SCOTUS sets the stage for defeat of more gun control laws. They granted CVR to 2 magazine bans, an open carry ban and an “assault weapons” ban sending them back to the lower courts to rehear using the standard they set in NYSRPA v Bruen. Text, history & tradition. We will win!
Are you kidding me? Gavin is trying to to say that CA, NY, IL, MD are safer than WY? That’s right when nothing else works, baffle them with BS. Using Everytown as your source? No axe to grind there!

Despite what the mainstream media tells you, gun rights are not a partisan issue.
Everyone buys guns: Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, moms, dads, grandmas—everyone has the right to keep and bear arms.
Everyone has the right to protect themselves and their families. 👏
AG Bonta is either grossly negligent, completely incompetent or criminally liable. If this is his idea of increasing public trust, we’re screwed. For endangering the lives of 10s of thousands of law abiding Californians, Bonta should resign!
#BontaResign
Mayor Liccardo, if you are going to tell a story, tell the whole story. Per hour, 1.6 die due to gun violence, 2.5 die by suicide and 171 live because they had a gun and successfully defended themselves...according to DOJ under Janet Reno!
Waiting at the Capitol to testify against ban on Gun Shows at the Cow Palace. Another day in fantasyland. This place is messed up...but we will keep fighting!
Huge news, SCOTUS just announced they will hear NYSR&A v NY City on 12/2/19. The court was not swayed by the shenanigans that NY tried to moot the case and prevent a hearing. Energized by what outcome could mean.

Gavin, no one considers 18 to 24 yr olds as children. They constitute more than 50% of gun deaths of “children”. Guns are not the leading cause of death for kids! Just because you say they are doesn’t make it true. You and NM Gov Grisham are quite a pair.

NEW: A panel of right-wing judges just blocked our bill that stopped gun manufacturers from marketing weapons of war to kids.
This is pure insanity.
Guns are now the leading cause of death for kids.

Predictably, the news of our 9th Circuit win in May V. Bonta was sure to melt

's hairgel.
His office will never explain HOW this decision puts the lives of Californians on the line, seeing that CCW holders are the MOST law abiding citizens in CA!

Don’t you get tired of saying the same old thing? This is rich coming from the Gov who runs the state with most gun control laws AND the most mass shootings in the country…it ain’t working dude!

You received $1,306,130 in donations from the NRA.
You voted against the most recent bipartisan gun package in June.
If you’re so “ready to assist” -- start by doing your job and passing commonsense gun laws that will help prevent tragedies like the one today.
Lying again-Over 60% die by suicide, plus your fake stats include those killed WHILE committing a violent crime. Your victim stats list killers like Boston Marathon bomber and other killers like him.

Gun violence kills nearly 100 Americans each day.
It’s a public health crisis and we need to start treating it as such. By allowing research into gun violence prevention and firearm safety, we can save lives.
Another big day at the Capitol fighting to protect the Second Amendment. Tons of bills in both the Senate and the Assembly. We will fight till the end. Stay Armed and Informed. Thanks for supporting Gun Owners of California.
Been at the Capitol for the past 3 days working to defeat SB 918 on CCWs and AB 1227. As of right now it looks like it’s paying off but the night isn’t over yet. Will be fighting to the bitter end.
The whole situation regarding CA's new ammo laws is so screwed up even Gov Newsom & Attorney General Becerra can't agree on how it works... If they are confused & they wrote the laws & regs, where does that leave us? CRPA's great resource for the new laws
Gilroy is a perfect example of the abject failure of “gun control” to stop evil acts of inhumanity. Insanity is referred to as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result! Gavin Newsom wants to do the same thing over and over again.
It’s sick... the leadership today that turns a blind eye and won’t do a thing to address the issue of gun violence.
@senatemajldr
should be ashamed of himself.
Today, the headlines will have moved on — but we won’t. We need common-sense gun laws. Now.

If it looks like a duck, and sounds like a duck, it’s a tax! AB 1669 heard today in Sen. Public Safety Cmte, doubles the cost of buying a gun! The bill tries to hide it and disguise it. I testified it’s a duck!
The Rittenhouse trial shows that the anti-gun left will do whatever it can to make firearms and self-defense illegal in this country. Make no mistake, GOC will do whatever it can to defend your Second Amendment & self-defense rights.
Here's a great article with REAL statistics from the FBI unified crime report. These are numbers you can use when talking "gun crime" with the uninformed! Keep them in your back pocket & stay

Last night the 9th Circuit Ct granted an emergency stay of Benitez ruling in Rhode v Becerra to review the appeal from AG. After review, they can lift the stay or make it temporary until trial. This is a setback but it doesn’t mean we are losing. Winning will always be hard.

The National Firearms Act is an unconstitutional gun control scheme, and GOA’s case -- Kettler v. US -- hits hard against the NFA.

Judge Benitez delivers smack-down on CA’s ammo registration law – ruling the law is null and void! Read more about it here and follow along for updates!
Sen Jackson “pre-crime” bill goes to suspense file. This is something right out of the movies. If someone makes multiple misdemeanor mistakes in their life, they will lose their 2nd Amendment rights because they “might” commit a gun crime in the future.
Governor Gavin Newsom goes full tilt tyrant. Criticizes SCOTUS and Judge Benitez as corrupt. Signs a gaggle of anti-2A laws. Too many lies to refute! Calls excise tax a “sin tax”. Boy that’s rich in irony from a guy with his history.

No big surprise that the schizo 9th has dumped on the Constitution again. GOC will be side-by-side with CRPA to ask a 3 judge merits panel for justice.
9th Circuit motions panel just granted the State's request to stay the injunction that stopped the useless ammo sales restriction laws. CRPA is asking the merits panel to reverse, but for now ammo freedom week is on hold. Subscribe for updates, and see the

GOC opposes AB 1064 in Assembly that would ban gun dealers if they cannot acquire special liability insurance that doesn’t exist. Bill passes PubSftyCom. We fight on.

Gavin, keep talking because everyone sees you for the ignorant tyrant you really are. The “will of the people” as expressed by someone who resorts to name-calling a judge you disagree with rather than intellectually debating his ruling is just another bully on the schoolyard.
Today, a right-wing, NRA puppet — Judge Roger Benitez— tried to strip away CA’s three-decade-old assault weapon ban — comparing an assault rifle to a knife.
An absolute disgrace.
This is exactly why America needs a constitutional amendment to enshrine commonsense gun safety
The amazing Assembly Public Safety Cmte has voted to make bump stocks, which the AG has declared illegal, illegaler!using the legislative process to make cheap political statements is shameful. GOC is still working hard at the Capitol for you!
It’s easy to take pot shots at people who buy guns LEGALLY instead of taking responsibility for your dangerous policy of releasing violent felons from prison - knowing more than half will reoffend. Newsom-you don’t care about the safety of Californians.
GOC & GOA are asking the Administration to once and for all declare the firearms industry and dealers as essential! Thereby ending all ambiguity. Letter linked in bio .
