California Handgun Roster LEO Exemption Swaps Exclusive Privileges for Universal Rights

Because evidently the danger of “untested” guns that make them “unsafe” to be owned by the rest of us mundanes goes away when transferred to the capable hands of “trained professionals.”  How that is so, when a gun making the “safe” list has nothing to do with operator skill and everything to do with manufacturers paying a fee to the state, is left unsaid. But the bottom line is, police are the “Only Ones” exempted and mere “civilians” (yeah, I know, that’s why it’s in quotation marks) will have their lives destroyed if they get caught violating the “rules.” [More]

So the guy's against guns unless being for them for a favored group works to his political advantage...?  Yep, sounds like equal justice for all to me...

Jeez, you'd think after seeing how bullying can have deadly consequences at his schools, Russ Fussnecker wouldn't be such a bully.

A Preexisting Condition

[More]

Speaking of preexisting conditions:

We look to this because it has always been widely understood that the Second Amendment , like the First and Fourth Amendment s, codified a pre-existing right. The very text of the Second Amendment implicitly recognizes the pre-existence of the right and declares only that it “shall not be infringed.” As we said in United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U. S. 542, 553 (1876) , “[t]his is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The Second amendment declares that it shall not be infringed … .”

Oath Keepers are one of the country's "radical anti-government groups ... based on a set of baseless conspiracy theories about the federal government working to destroy the liberties of Americans," according to the Law Center. [More]

Yeah, a group that centers its entire existence on the oath current and retired service members and police take to uphold and defend the Constitution is "anti-government."  The SPLC said it, Steve parrots it, that settles it.

After all, he's an apparatchik for The Adovcate, where good or bad doesn't matter.

Tangentially related:

According to the arrest report, Paul Richey, 30, of Denham Springs, was arrested for having a firearm in a firearm free zone, within 1,000 ft of two schools. Police say Richey was spotted walking on private property without permission and was carrying a concealed Glock semi-automatic pistol near protesters in the area.

I'll see if I can find out more about this. Aside from the BS 1,000-foot rule, how did anyone know he was carrying concealed and did the property owner complain?

Now we get to see if he's criminally charged and/or sued.

I won't be surprised to see some relatives claiming he didn't have to use such deadly force and the "victims" were just starting to turn their lives around.

In any case, this sounds like a story with a lot more to it than we're told here.
