Governor Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown signed strict gun control legislation for The People’s Republic of California. Can own a shotgun or rifle until 21. Ridiculous.
California governor signs bill to raise age requirement to 21 for purchase of rifles, shotguns

How Jerry Brown Became ‘Governor Moonbeam’
No, what’s ridiculous is rightwing nitwits whining about firearm regulatory measures which are perfectly Constitutional, having never been invalidated by the Supreme Court as in violation of the Second Amendment.
What’s ridiculous is rightwing hypocrisy, where Florida Republicans enacted the same measure, signed into law by Florida’s Republican governor.
And what’s ridiculous is how inconsistent most conservatives are, conservatives who are supposed to be ‘advocates’ of “states’ rights” and the ‘will of the people.’
Nowhere will you find a Conservative tell you that the States have the right to amend the U.S. Consitution. So, that is just a lie.
We fight for states rights, but no state has the right to violate the Constitution or the liberties of the people.
I look forward to this being challenged.
Under Article V if 3/4 of the states vote to do so they can call a convention of the states.
Yes, but no single State can abridge, alter, or remove an Amendment to the Constitution.
The law in California will probably pass muster as the Republicans have already given to much ground and allowed a precedent to be set. Still, I would like to see this challenged. The problem is, someone will have to first be denied, and since we are talking about a young person (under 21), I don't think they'll have the intestinal fortitude. No doubt, a consideration by the Chief Crazy in CA.
