CA not unsafe handgun roster challanged
So you want that new rough textured frame Glock pictured above? Too bad if you are here in CA since the texture on that model makes it unsafe. No, really, it does. If you manufacture a firearm with a rough texture frame vs. the standard textured frame this supposedly makes the firearm unsafe in CA. And don’t even think about a different colored frame, that obviously makes the firearm unsafe.
That doesn’t make much sense to most sensible people in CA, so the legal beagles of the 2A are methodically chasing down the nonsensical anti-gun laws here in CA empowered by the recent Heller vs. D.C. and Nordyke decisions.
The Second Amendment Foundation, The Calguns Foundation and four California residents today filed a lawsuit challenging a California state law and regulatory scheme that arbitrarily bans handguns based on a roster of “certified” handguns approved by the State. This case parallels a similar case filed in Washington, DC, Hanson v. District of Columbia.
California uses this list despite a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court last summer that protects handguns that ordinary people traditionally use for self-defense, and a recent ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that the Second Amendment applies to state and local governments. The California scheme will eventually ban the purchase of almost all new handguns.
