. . . . . . . . . .
Late last month, Attorney General Pamela Bondi announced that the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division filed a lawsuit against the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, “due to their pattern or practice of infringing the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens seeking concealed carry weapons (CCW) permits.”
The lawsuit came about after a six-month federal investigation found “unreasonable delays” in how the LASD issues its CCW permits. LASD officials turned over documents that revealed only two CCW permits had been approved from more than 8,000 applications, and that Sheriff’s officials sometimes waited more than two years to interview applicants and start the process.
“The Second Amendment protects the fundamental constitutional right of law-abiding citizens to bear arms,” Bondi said in a press release. “Los Angeles County may not like that right, but the Constitution does not allow them to infringe upon it. This Department of Justice will continue to fight for the Second Amendment.”
To be clear, this federal lawsuit is long overdue, and it may actually be as Bondi’s team called it, the “first affirmative lawsuit in support of gun owners filed by the U.S. Department of Justice.” There are thousands of Los Angelinos who may finally get their CCW permits, and other California top cops will look at what transpired and speed up their own permitting process to avoid similar federal lawsuits.
But is it enough?
Is CCW permitting, or the lack thereof, the place to start enforcing the Second Amendment in the country’s most heavily populated anti-gun state?
California’s bevy of unconstitutional state laws strip the Second Amendment rights from its 39 million citizens. Take a quick look at the state’s Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale.
“As of January 1, 2001, no handgun may be manufactured within California, imported into California for sale, lent, given, kept for sale, or offered/exposed for sale unless that handgun model has passed firing, safety, and drop tests and is certified for sale in California by the Department of Justice,” California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta warns.
How does this horrific state law not violate the Second Amendment?
