Tons of these cases and quotes come from California because they have a goofy law where there is a list of approved guns (that get there by paying a fee) that, for some reason, police are exempt from. Police can legally buy an unapproved gun and then later decide to sell it to a Californian, legally. What they can't do is buy it with the intent to sell it but many do because the police also think the law is arbitrary and useless.
- pnw 2y agoExactly, when you pass laws that create a marketplace for a product which is legally available just over the state line from California, and then exempt one class of citizen from the enforcement of those laws, this is the predictable result. The California law in question has always allowed police to sell those firearms to civilians.

It's why the NRA failing to support Breonna Taylor was so glaringly transparent - the entire point of the supposed lobbying organization is to defend private gun ownership against the conflicting desires of government. But instead they lined right up behind the government oppressors! Like what exactly do they think destruction of the second amendment looks like if it's not government agents invading your home at night and summarily executing you for exercising your purported right of self defense?
- 15155 2y agoWhy exactly would the Breonna Taylor incident require the support of the NRA/ILA? How did that issue pertain to firearms law?
- mindslight 2y agoKenneth Walker was in the exact position of someone defending against a night time home invasion. If you believe that defending yourself in such a way is a constitutional natural right, there is no choice but to conclude that his firearm use was justified. Then, this idea that police are justified in responding to a straightforward and lawful home defense by retaliating with a hail of bullets is plainly an anathema to the second amendment. As I said, what else do you think exercising the right to self defense in your home at night would involve?
