Because the state of California is crooked.

The bill failed to pass. It was Bill 1333.

Blue States need to stop supporting bankrupt red states.

@soniasostre1627 says:

As long you have folks who are pro Skittles follow the rainbow 🌈 and Fruity pebbles liberal Democrats who rather bend over in their usual position to criminals instead of protecting the lives of their constituents.
Stop voting Democrat's California
Look at New York State it's voting numbers are shifting towards Republicans the lost by a small margin but next time that all will change

@jasonsmybro says:

The reason for this bill is obvious. Neo-democrats have the majority in California. Neo-democrats are anti 2A and generally anti constitution. Republicans are pro constitution. The intent is to force republicans out of California or imprison them for exercising their rights.
California has the most corrupt, anti-American communistic governmental regime in the world.
Gavin Newsom and all of the democrats in Cali government are enemies of the United States and most definitely enemies of the people of California.

California is a screwed state!

@ripperorb says:

if you remove the ability of the law abiding citizen to defend themselves, you also reduce the validity of the of the law abiding citizen being able to possess arms to defend themselves. It doesn't negate the 2A but in their minds it somehow does.

Fight or flight resides in the limbic system which is impulse. Rationalization takes place in the prefrontal cortex. If the amygdala takes over the prefrontal cortex takes a back seat. This will never hold up in court as any psychiatrist will tell you once the limbic system is activated the individual is operating on instinct and thus can not rationalize until the limbic response is over.

Trump needs to make a law that charges lawmakers with the same crimes they criminals do along with Treason and conspiracy to aid and abet.

@deannastafford5762 says:

So if a man trues to take a child or a woman and she defends herself and kills him . Its her fault ?????

@deannastafford5762 says:

They did this with people stealing, and the stores defending clerks couldn't defend the selves

@jeromeczech4673 says:

The sheriff hit the nail on the head when he said it looks like with this law they are trying to create chaos. Liberal socialist governmental control 101. Just like the fires. Create chaos, devalue the properties, drive up prices so no one can afford to live there. Then buy the properties cheap and control where and how people can live.

@Foot2Fire says:

Same law has been in place in Massachusetts for years !

@morningflowerB says:

It's called a takeover.
