CCRKBA: California’s Newsom Shows Signs Of ‘Handgun Derangement Syndrome’ by Mark Chesnut

Gov. Gavin Newsom signing California Glock ban AB 1127

The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) might not be directly involved in the new lawsuit challenging California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Glock ban, but the organization’s leaders still had some choice words for arguably America’s most anti-gun governor.

On October 14, CCRKBA posted a news item to its website in which it weighed in on the unconstitutional law, the new lawsuit and on Gov. Newsom personally.

The lawsuit, Jaymes v. Bonta, was filed on October 13 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California by the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC).

Under the new law, AB 1127, California firearm dealers will be prohibited from selling a broad class of popular and constitutionally protected semi-automatic handguns, including Glocks. It specifically bans the sale of “…any semi-automatic pistol with a cruciform trigger bar that can be readily converted by hand or with common household tools…into a machinegun by the installation or attachment of a pistol converter as a replacement for the slide’s backplate without any additional engineering, machining, or modification of the pistol’s trigger mechanism.”

“These handguns are in common use; indeed, they are among the most popular firearms in the nation,” the plaintiffs argue. If the law takes effect, Californians “will have no practical way to acquire them”—a direct violation of the Second Amendment.

CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb said Newsom ignored earlier court rulings in signing the measure into law.

“The court has already held that several provisions of the UHA  (Unsafe Handgun Act) likely violate the Second Amendment,” Gottlieb observed, “but instead of taking a hint from the court, Gov. Newsom has doubled down because of what can best be described as a case of handgun derangement syndrome by signing this new legislation. This new ban is flagrantly unconstitutional, and Newsom must know it.”

Gottlieb said Democrats in Sacramento evidently “didn’t get the memo” from the U.S. Supreme Court that the Second Amendment is not a second-class right.

He also accused Newsom and Democrats in the legislature of being determined to play a game of “one-upmanship” with the courts and the constitution.

“This may be a game for Newsom and the Democrats in Sacramento, but defending the Second Amendment rights of California gun owners is not a game,” Gottlieb said. “This is not some kind of sporting match for Newsom’s amusement. You don’t fight crime by restricting the rights of peaceable, law-abiding citizens. We’re going to closely monitor this legal action, and based on previous results, we expect the court to act decisively.”

Rifle in Charlie Kirk killing complicates the usual gun control narrative by Kerry Picket

The single shot that killed conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s last week upended decades of the gun control debate.

As high-profile shootings piled up, activists said the solution lay in background checks and bans on semi-automatic AR-style assault weapons, high-capacity magazines and 3D-printed firearms.

But authorities said the shot that killed Mr. Kirk came from a Mauser bolt-action rifle chambered in .30-06 caliber — a classic hunting gun and the type of weapon that had previously been immune from the gun control debate.

“As usual, the Democrats wasted no time before weaponizing the assassination of Second Amendment advocate Charlie Kirk to promote their unconstitutional gun-grabbing agenda,” said Aidan Johnston, director of federal affairs for Gun Owners of America. “But the murder weapon is a sporterized, Mauser Gewehr 98 — a bolt-action rifle first manufactured in Germany over a hundred years ago in 1898. So, when Democrats call for ‘assault weapons’ bans, every gun owner must realize that means grandpa’s old hunting rifle too.”

Bolt-action rifles load each round one at a time by manually working the bolt.

The rifles usually at the core of the gun debate are magazine-fed semi-automatic guns, in which the firearm itself automatically brings a new round into the chamber after each trigger pull — though, like a bolt-action, each trigger pull fires only a single round.

Automatic rifles, or machine guns, fire continuously until the magazine or belt is empty. They are already heavily restricted under U.S. law.

The ammunition used to kill Mr. Kirk, .30-06, is considered a high-powered cartridge, meaning it can deliver a more powerful punch at a longer range.

The AR-style rifles that have dominated the gun debate in recent years generally use what’s known as an intermediate cartridge, which is a balance between high-power ammunition and lower-powered ammo generally used in handguns.

Using a bolt-action rifle is a rarity in high-profile shooting crimes, though Lee Harvey Oswald used a bolt-action 6.5 mm Carcano rifle to assassinate President Kennedy in November 1963.

According to data compiled by The Smoking Gun website, a bolt-action rifle was present in only five of the 263 deadliest shootings in U.S. history and was almost always a secondary weapon, often never used. So-called assault weapons were used in 71 shootings, with AR-15-style rifles the choice in about half of those.

Mr. Kirk was talking about mass shootings during one of his signature “Prove Me Wrong” events at Utah Valley University on Wednesday when he was fatally shot.

Law enforcement recovered the bolt-action rifle that they say was used in the shooting from the woods near the school campus. It was wrapped in a towel.

A spent round was in the chamber and shell casings left beside the gun were etched with messages. Among the messages were “Hey fascist, catch!” and “If you read this you are gay, LMAO.”

On Friday, police arrested Tyler Robinson, 22, of Utah, in connection with the shooting death.

Mr. Robinson had confessed to a family friend, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said. The friend contacted the Washington County, Utah, Sheriff’s Office.

Guns quickly became a focal point for many on the left in the wake of the slaying.

Some commenters online suggested a sort of justice in Mr. Kirk’s death, given his vehement opposition to gun control.

A clip of Mr. Kirk talking about the tradeoffs of gun control made the rounds: “It’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.”

Members of Congress called for a renewed debate on restrictions.

“Pass some gun laws!” shouted Rep. Jahana Hayes, Connecticut Democrat, after the House held a moment of silence and prayer for Mr. Kirk.

Rep. George Latimer, New York Democrat, later told reporters outside the chamber, “Does it take shooting a conservative to start to realize the gun scourge? I hope they realize it.”

Second Amendment Foundation Founder Alan Gottlieb said Mr. Kirk’s shooting upends much of the rhetoric surrounding guns.

“Democrats treat all guns like they are ’assault weapons’ and want to ban them. Guns don’t have brains to hate with or fingers to pull their own triggers. Attacking gun ownership will not solve any problems,” Mr. Gottlieb said.

Gun Control Fan Charged With Shooting at California ABC Affiliate By Cam Edwards

Image by Janmarcustrapp from Pixabay
The FBI re-arrested a California man accused of firing multiple shots at the ABC affiliate in Sacramento, California over the weekend, hours after the man was first arrested by Sacramento police but allowed to post bond.

64-year-old Anibal Hernandez Santana is facing state-level charges of assault with a deadly weapon, shooting into an occupied building and negligent discharge of a firearm, as well as the federal charges related to interfering with a federally licensed broadcast statios that led to him being taken into custody not long after he posted bond and left the Sacramento County jail on Saturday.

Though authorities have not officially said what Hernandez Santana’s alleged motive might have been, there are suspicions that the shooting was tied to ABC’s decision to yank Jimmy Kimmel off the air last week over his comments that portrayed the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk as a right-wing MAGA supporter of President Donald Trump.

Variety reports that Hernandez Santana’s social media contains a steady stream of anti-Trump postings, but Second Amendment Foundation Director of Legal Research and Education Kostas Moros says Hernandez-Santana is also a big fan of gun control.

On X, Hernandez Santana has, among other things, spoken out in favor of California’s ban on “large capacity” magazines, advocated for limiting gun sales to single-shot rifles for adults under the age of 25 , and an outright ban on so-called assault weapons.

More recently, Hernandez Santana posted “Where is a good heart attack when we need it the most?? Please Join in my thoughts and prayers for the physical demise of our fearful leader,” and “The authoritarian oligarchy is now complete. CBS+ caving, big law firms in DC, the subservients FBI and AG, university presidents stepping own, fan boys SCOTUS, public radio, ICE goons. We are going to have to ‘fight like hell’. Rules don’t apply if election was stolen. FIGHT!”

To the best of my knowledge, not a single media outlet has reported on Hernandez Santana’s support for gun control, though the Sacramento ABC affiliate shared a post where he claimed to have started carrying a gun after Donald Trump was elected in 2016.

“I haven’t seen [the posts]… It’s not completely uncommon. I mean, I’m on social media a lot and reading comments and from both sides really, there are some comments that I wouldn’t say are extreme, but that show a lot of passion,” said [Hernandez-Santana’s attorney Mark] Reichel. “I understand the concern that people would have, but they’re not uncommon.”

With the FBI now involved, Reichel believes politics are at play.

 

“If his social media points are considered radical by you, I guess it depends on your perspective. There’s a lot of this stuff that’s said by the President and you’d have to consider that radical also,” said Reichel. “I think the President and the Trump Justice Department and Pam Bondi aren’t going to let this one go by… Of course, they’re going to grab it and try to bring it into federal court as soon as they can because they’ve got somebody who is an educated liberal who they believe shot at the building.”

I know that Reichel has a duty to defend his client, but c’mon now. It’s not Hernandez Santana’s social media posts that landed him behind bars. It’s the suspicion that he fired multiple shots at a television station just a few days after Kimmel was yeeted from the airwaves.

There are plenty of people on the left and the right who’ve taken issue with the implied threats by FCC Chair Brendon Carr to go after ABC and its parent company Disney, but as far as I know none of them decided to take out their frustrations by firing multiple shots at their local ABC station.

Hernandez Santana’s posts on X might help explain his mindset and motive if he is, in fact, responsible for the shooting, but I don’t think anyone has said his “radical” speech amounts to criminal activity in and of itself.

Hernandez Santana is entitled to his views on all kinds of issues, including his support for California’s gun control laws and a desire to see more restrictions on our Second Amendment rights.

But if the news media is going to highlight his prolific posts on X, they shouldn’t hide his many comments in support of gun control while highlighting his animosity towards Donald Trump and the current administration. Hernandez Santana isn’t just an “educated liberal”; he’s a staunch advocate for restricting our right to keep and bear arms who, according to authorities, had no qualms about using a gun of his own to target those he disagrees with.

Editor’s Note: The mainstream media continues to deflect, gaslight, spin, and lie about our Second Amendment rights.

DOJ’s possible trans gun ban is cruel, misguided, and dangerous, says a leading gun safety advocate

The gay executive director of Guns Down America says the DOJ is creating a ‘bogeyman’’ rather than real solutions, and further putting trans lives at risk.

The Department of Justice is reportedly weighing a proposal to bar transgender people from owning firearms, a move that activists warn would do nothing to address the root causes of gun violence while further endangering an increasingly vulnerable community.

Hudson Munoz, the gay executive director of Guns Down America, a nonprofit advocating for stronger gun safety laws and reduced gun proliferation, called the proposal “misplaced, cruel, and dangerous,” arguing that it scapegoats transgender people rather than addressing systemic failures in America’s gun policies.

“What won’t they do?” Munoz asked. “To avoid talking about the truth of gun violence, which is that permissive access and a massive deregulatory agenda around firearms is increasing the lethality and prevalence of guns in our communities. That is what leads to gun violence.”

Munoz noted that instead of investing in proven measures like community violence intervention programs, education, or workforce training, lawmakers are redirecting resources while manufacturing “bogeymen” to blame.

“They are going out of their way to create a bogeyman for gun violence, trans people, in order to avoid talking about the hard truths that need real solutions,” Munoz said. “It’s particularly cruel and misplaced, given the rates of suicide and self-harm in the LGBTQ community. This is part of a broader strategy to persecute marginalized communities and blame them for problems that the Trump administration is creating for itself.”

Munoz described the current administration’s approach as an “escalate and blame” strategy, ratcheting up rhetoric while deflecting responsibility. “What they’re doing here is escalating the rhetoric and blaming the wrong people for the problems they are creating,” he said.

Munoz fears the repercussions could be severe, and he warns that stigmatizing transgender people as uniquely dangerous could have ripple effects far beyond the gun debate.

“It’s going to make it harder for trans people to speak up and ask for help,” Munoz said. “This further stigmatizes a group of people and pushes them outside the bounds of medical care and social services, labeling them as dangerous. That’s a trope that has been used against the queer community, including trans people, for all-time, and it’s an ugly new face of old stigma.”

The danger, Munoz added, is not theoretical. “I’m actually very afraid we’ll see more violence against trans people,” he said. “It’s not a reach to conclude that as people are told trans people are dangerous and armed, some will take it upon themselves to feel justified in perpetuating violence against a community that already faces tremendous stigma and persecution.”

At the same time, Munoz emphasized, trans people are already contending with limited access to medical care, legal protections, and basic safety. Layering new restrictions that paint them as a public threat only increases their vulnerability.

“This is cruel,” Munoz said bluntly. “Instead of addressing gun violence with evidence-based solutions, this administration is targeting a marginalized group, escalating stigma, and putting lives at risk.”

I am of mixed opinion about this one. Anybody out there have any good ideas out there on this issue? BUT Please keep the bad puns to yourself. Thanks Grumpy

7th Circuit Panel Upholds Illinois Public Transit Concealed Carry Ban

On September 2, 2025, a three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit overturned a lower court ruling and upheld a concealed carry ban Illinois on public transit.

The case is Schoenthal v. Raoul. It was brought by four plaintiffs and last year, a Northern District of Illinois judge ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, according to CBS News.

On Tuesday, the three judge panel of the 7th Circuit upheld the ban.

Judge Joshua Kolar wrote:

The Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to self-defense. It does not bar the people’s representatives from enacting laws — consistent with our nation’s historical tradition of regulation — that ensure public transportation systems remain free from accessible firearms.

 

We are asked whether the state may temporarily disarm its citizens as they travel in crowded and confined metal tubes unlike anything the Founders envisioned. We draw from the lessons of our nation’s historical regulatory traditions and find no Second Amendment violation in such a regulation.

The plaintiffs now have an option to appeal for the case to be heard en banc by the 7th Circuit or by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Texas’ Cornyn Claims He Didn’t Work With Biden Admin To Pass Anti-Gun BSCA by Mark Chesnut

We told you back in 2022 how U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, worked with President Joe Biden and Democrats in the U.S. Senate to help pass the so-called Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA), which the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) later utilized to issue several more Final Rules further restricting firearm ownership.

Now, in the midst of a reelection campaign that sees him running neck-and-neck with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Cornyn is denying that he worked with the Democrats to help get the anti-gun measure passed.

According to a report at dallasexpress.com, the pro-gun rights group Texas Gun Rights recently posted on social media: “Speaking of shooting, remember when you teamed up with Biden to spearhead gun control legislation?” Cornyn’s reply was a simple, “No.”

Either Cornyn’s memory is failing him or he’s trying to hide the fact that he was instrumental in the passage of the measure back in 2022. In fact, that’s the point Blaze Media personality Sara Gonzalez was making when she asked on social media: “Is John Cornyn senile, a liar, or both?”

The denial also gave Texas AG Paxton a chance to take a shot at Cornyn, who he’s seeking to unseat in the U.S. Senate.

“My promise to voters of Texas is that I will never be thanked by Joe Biden for helping him pass gun control legislation,” Paxton posted on X. “I wish John Cornyn could make the same promise.”

In fact, Cornyn’s denial isn’t even plausible. There’s no doubt that he aided in the passage of the bill, even voting “yea” when the final vote on the measure was taken.

At the time, Cornyn should have known better than to help with the bill. Despite his claims that he “thought it was important to demonstrate the Senate could work,” the National Rifle Association publicly opposed the legislation, warning that its vague language gave anti-gun officials nebulous authorities that could be abused to target law-abiding gun owners and firearm-related businesses. That assertion, of course, turned out to be correct.

Cornyn’s denial of being involved with the legislation comes only three months after Texas Gun Rights penned a letter to President Trump in which it aired its grievances over what it believes to be Cornyn’s lack of support for the Second Amendment.

“Dear President Trump, We, the members and supporters of Texas Gun Rights, write to you as dedicated defenders of the Second Amendment,” the letter stated. “We urge you in the strongest terms not to endorse Senator John Cornyn in his bid for re-election to the U.S. Senate.”

An Emerson College Poll released August 15 showed a statistical tie among GOP primary voters, with 30% backing Cornyn, 29% supporting Paxton and 37% undecided.
