Thank you AG Bonta for appealing. This ruling is disgusting and ominous. Our America was founded on "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." [Portion removed.] He certainly didn't rule to uphold the American public's right to live free from fear.

It’s nice to see that logic has prevailed over hysteria.

Now, if our elected leaders would tone down their rhetoric about firearms and enforce the laws already on the books, we could all go on to more important issues - like helping resolve the issues in the Middle East, homelessness, hunger.

And to fan the flames of you that want to roast me…if you don’t like firearms, don’t buy one - but don’t put unreasonable restrictions on my right to be a responsible firearms owner.
