Gov. Gavin Newsom delivered an extraordinarily fierce rebuke of the federal judge who struck down California’s assault weapons ban

SAN FRANCISCO — California Gov. Gavin Newsom delivered an extraordinarily fierce rebuke Thursday of the federal judge who struck down California’s assault weapons ban, calling the judge a “wholly-owned subsidiary of the gun lobby and the National Rifle Association."

“We need to call this federal judge out,” Newsom said. “He will continue to do damage. Mark my words.” "Gavin Newsom’s Department of Justice had the opportunity to present its facts in court — and failed to do so. Now that Judge Benitez ruled against Gavin Newsom, he is shamefully attacking a federal judge with politicized falsehoods because Newsom got a result he didn’t like," Michel said in an emailed statement. "Newsom can stomp his feet all he wants, but the Constitution will win the day.

“I don’t believe this judge would uphold a single gun law anywhere, ever,” said Robyn Thomas of the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.

It’s all over but the shoutin. The ruling will stand.

LMAO!!! Poor wittle Newscum is throwing a temper tantrum!!! What a piece of crap we have for a governor here in California!!!

reallisa One of Newsom’s less intelligent tirades. His (Dem) predecessor signed into law a bill (passed by Dem Legislature) that removed mandatory sentencing enhancements for firearms crimes. California is schitzo....

Benitez' decision read like a fundraiser for the NRA. Clearly they want this before SCOTUS, and if they help make guns as ubiquitous as Swiss Army knives, and abortions as rare as common sense, maybe some more complacent voters will wake up and smell the coffee.

It was a law backed by th NRA and passed by Ronald Reagan, it would be weird if what he said was true

Tyrants don’t like the constitution

I mean it's ridiculous, imagine everyone in LA or NYC just walking around with ar15 🤣

In his ruling, the judge said that more people have died from covid vaccinations than from mass shootings.

Stay mad.

“We need to call this federal judge out,” Newsom said. “He will continue to do damage. Mark my words.”

LHeneghen

Good!!!!

All people who have a loved one gunned down by a machine gun, can go thank this judge.

Doesn’t matter

Newsom recall will cost California taxpayers $215 million, state officials sayAn analysis projects the recall election against Gov. Gavin Newsom will cost $215 million, an amount that's likely to grow as more candidates emerge. Send the bill to California’s Central Valley: Bakersfield, Visalia, Hanford, Fresno, Madera, Tulare, Selma, Stockton—all of the ugly name towns. They’re the ones who had the most signatures. Keeping Newsom will cost billions. How about we shelter some homeless humans or animals instead?
