SB-8 helped create a framework for bypassing constitutional “rights” and I think it’s time that California, with its direct democracy, bans guns altogether.

- lkjdsklf 4y agoThe supreme court just said abortion is not constitutionally protected so SB-8 isn't bypassing constitutional rights. You might disagree with the court, but that doesn't matter since any law similar to SB-8 related to guns would be handled by that court. That said, I think CA/NY and others should absolutely do it. They should be super aggressive and start using the tactic created in SB-8 on all kinds of issues if for no other reason than the ridiculousness of relying on civilian enforcement of laws.
- inlined 4y agoIf guns are banned or SB-8 style tactics are banned we win either way.
- Clubber 4y ago>If guns are banned You know they won't just magically disappear right? They will still exist en masse. Guns are mostly banned in Mexico, but the cartels use them to control the government. Careful what you wish for.
