While liberals hold up California as their blueprint for the country, the Golden State often proves why no one should consider it as an example. Now, the state has shown why gun registries must never be allowed.
California’s Attorney General’s Office leaked the personal information of Californians who have a concealed carry permit while launching the state’s 2022 Firearms Dashboard Portal. According to the Reload, the leaked information includes “the person’s full name, race, home address, date of birth, and date their permit was issued,” as well as “the type of permit issued, indicating if the permit holder is a member of law enforcement or a judge.”
The Reload also added that there are “several social media posts that indicate similar identifying information from the state’s dealer record of sales database and its ‘assault weapons’ registry were part of the leak.” According to the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office, it isn’t clear how long the personal information was available on the site.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta had boasted that the website would help increase transparency and that “transparency is key to increasing public trust between law enforcement and the communities we serve.” Instead, whether because of a spiteful bureaucrat upset with the Supreme Court’s ruling in a concealed carry case that affected California or simply the typical incompetence that is found in government bureaucracies, some 200,000 concealed carry permit holders had their personal information, including their home addresses, made available for anyone to see.
Rob Bonta is a complete a$$hole. But then all California state leaders are
Changed from foxfire to Brave, Cali is lost my friends. We have 48 States you know the other failed state coast to coast.
Anyone running for National office from California should be immediately disqualified
This is also a perfect example of why “red flag laws” should not be implemented. In theory, they are “common sense” and reasonable, but like with everything else, when put in the hands of unscrupulous, totalitarian fascists (i.e., Democrats), it is a dangerous weapon to use against law abiding citizens.
Also remember the NY newspaper that printed the names and addresses (with a map) of gun owners. They don’t care who’s lives they put in danger and are totally irresponsible with power and information.
Like “universal background checks”, these would be useful to keep weapons out of the hands of dangerous people… or so we are told. But the reaction to the SCOTUS ruling on the NY suppression of gun rights (or the suppression itself) is a clear indication of what the left actually thinks of “commons sense gun control”. At question was the law that prevented CHL holders from carrying their weapon wherever they felt the need to carry. Now, CHL holders, in addition to being the least law breaking group of gun owners, are also the most thoroughly background checked gun owners. They have also proven they have gun training. Yet this is insignificant to the leftist NY government. So, red flag laws, background checks, training and responsibility are not leftist requirements. DISARMAMENT is their ONLY requirement.
Someone needs to tell the A.G. we all ready have a National Gun Permit its called the 2nd Amendment and if they cant accept that then they should resign
