|    Cailfornia Tries to Enforce Its Gun Laws    |
|    11 Feb 26 05:38:27    |
      From: atropos@mac.com              Gavin Newsom's Mini-Me, Attorney General Rob Bonta, has filed lawsuits against       several out-of-state companies and individuals for daring to exercise their       1st and 2nd Amendment rights by hosting 3d-print files for gun parts on their       websites. This violates a California law (which itself is being challenged for       violating the Constitution) prohibiting the possession and distribution of       digital files that can be used to produce "ghost guns". Bonta's exciting new       legal theory is that if California makes a thing illegal, no citizen of any       other state can legally do that thing if it allows Californians to skirt       California law.              Not only does this violate the 1st and 2nd Amendments, it's unenforceable as a       practical matter, because the internet is worldwide. Even if California       somehow manages to reach its tentacles into other states, it can't reach into       other countries, so these digital files can be distributed around the world       with impunity and Rob Bonta can't do anything about it. A website in Romania       can host "ghost gun" 3d-print files and anyone in California can access them       and Mini-Newsom, has no power to stop it.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
