They're trying for your guns partly cause of all the protest rising in the world due to the long list of consequences of the covid politics, mandates and restrictions.

Yet lefties will praise them taking them only to realize it doesn't just effect the ones with their head on straight. It's amazing how blind they can be.

Cam dodges criticizing Republicans.

Again.

To the surprise of nobody.

thanks for the free cash AND disarming ur own people champ

Its kewl that Gavin Newsom can tit-for-tat politic, but California already has a serious crime problem and outlawing more guns will make it worse. Guess its worth it for the ree-win.

Personally I'm waiting for somebody to write a similar law about criticizing a Democrat. Both are protected rights that can't be infringed, and it's kind of pathetic that people are taking the subject and pretending it's a California problem when it's a response to Republican's blatant bad-faith attempt to regulate something that the supreme court has already ruled on.

And red states "subsidize" Cali and other blue states with human capital year after year...


Plus, we must keep in mind that Cali is carried HARD by Silicon Valley. The EVA of their agriculture in Central Valley or the entertainment industry centered in LA is not that big. Cali is in a strong economic position because they happened to be positioned well for the rise of the IT branch which picked up pace in the 1990s and turned the state into the global hub of the tech inudstry. Without the tremendous tax revenue from the Bay Area/Silicon Valley, Cali's vast big government policies wouldn't even come close to being sustainable.

It's similar to how Pennsylvania and Ohio were populous and prosperous in the 1890s through 1920s because they happened to sit on tons of coal, the fuel of the industry at the time. Or how Texas's wealth in the 1950s through 80s was not based on conservative policies but rather on them sitting on a ton of oil.

Likewise, if blue state policies were really the key to prosperity, states like Maine, Vermont or Michigan would be better off.

On a more general note: voting behavior in the West, and definitely in the U.S., is increasingly sorted along the "winners/losers of globalization"-divide. States don't do well/bad because they vote blue/red, respectively, it's primarily the other way round: places that are doing well vote liberal, for the continuation and intensification of the course of the past decades, while places that are suffering vote conservative; for a rollback of these policies and disruptive change, symbolized by things like Trump's 2016 platform or Brexit.

What Newsome is doing is just Optics with an end result of a nothing burger, in the big picture a disservice to his tax paying State constituents. The more interesting thing this week from State Governors is DeSantis proposals on illegal federal immigration in his state (contract denial, restitution in addition to his busses rhetoric), don't want to take away from the abortion outrage in this topic though.

Edit: Honestly, just let the Republicans eat their own shit on this one, no need to respond to it.

There is no abortion amendment and for good reason.
Your desire to retaliate by wanting to take a guaranteed right away is beyond wrong.
You should be ashamed.
