A Win for CA FFL's

[Preston-CLB]

A federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama on Tuesday struck down a 95-year-old California law that had banned handgun ads at gun shops, calling it "unconstitutional on its face" and slamming the state for its "paternalistic" assumption that its residents can't make up their own minds about firearms.

The ruling came in a lawsuit filed in 2014 by several gun dealers who were fined by the state for handgun ads.
"If you are someone who is providing a constitutionally protected product or service, you should be able to communicate that to people in the same way a bookseller should be able to advertise they sell Bibles and Qurans," said Brandon Combs, executive director of The Calguns Foundation, a gun rights group. "Dealers should be able to say they sell handguns."

Well, its a check for the win column.

Too bad they can advertise the whole roster in one window.

This was such BS. The fact this was even made into law is insane. The law makers that made this should be fined the amount of the court cost.

The lawmakers that made this law should be put in jail for a civil rights violation.

It will probably be appealed to the 9th circuit. Then it will probably get reversed.

For those of you who said that the lawmakers need to be punished for making that law... Better get a shovel and start Digging Up Bones. LOL because that law is over 90 years old.

I think we should ban grocery stores from advertising they sell peanut butter because some people are really allergic to peanuts.
