   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.
