A federal judge on Wednesday temporarily blocked a California law that would have banned carrying firearms in most public places, ruling that it violates the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and deprives people of their ability to defend themselves and their loved ones.

The law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in September was set to take effect Jan. 1. It would have prohibited people from carrying concealed guns in 26 places including public parks and playgrounds, churches, banks and zoos. The ban would apply whether the person has a permit to carry a concealed weapon or not. One exception would be for privately owned businesses that put up signs saying people are allowed to bring guns on their premises.

    The US is so fucking dumb.

      Its dumb to put all your women in a position where they are vulnerable to sexual assault. But any country without guns does just that.

        Please do go ahead and post your sources.

        Yeah, you have none, because you don’t care about women, you care about you personally being able to own a gun so you can get a half chub sometimes.

    I think it’s sad how you Americans have to defend themselves with a gun while police won’t do real shit.

    Well regulated militia. If it’s working as intended, then we must change it.

    I suggest a minimum age of 25 for men. Yearly training requirements, and a tax.
