More good news! Though I'm not sure how much clout that organization holds.

It's a well know organization representing district attorneys.

The California Police Chiefs Association would be a nice one to have on our side. I don't think they will be releasing an official statement until the initiative is on the ballot.

Either way, it's encouraging.

A shimmer of hope...

Need to use this one too. In addition to the California State Sheriffs Association opposing Newsom's Neo-Socialist Initiative, we need to widely disperse these facts NOW in every way and forum, from nightly family dinner-table conversation to office water-cooler conversation, to broad-based campaign and outreach to voters, and not just to those on our side, but especially to the "middle" voter that admires freedom but may not be a gun owner, yet would still find all of this repugnant.

I think there is a vast amount of voters out there who, while not gun enthusiasts in the slightest (or even gun owners) are moderate to logical enough to see this disgusting attempt at removing such balances of freedom from the general public of California as invasive if not tyrannical.

Seeing as how their freedom of speech or other freedoms could also fall in line, in a state where it's citizens of ALL kinds have had just about enough of regulation as they can stand, this thing will lose at that hands of even common, passive voters once the danger of such an initiative like this is REALLY fully explained to them - and the intent is not twisted and fabricated into some short summary just to get them to sign the petition.

Until they get an LEO and Retired LEO exemption, then they'll support it.
Just like the Roster and so many other BOHICA regulations LEOs and legal groups have horse-traded to their advantage and then changed to support.

It's an initiative - unlike a bill it can't be changed or revised once presented. They won't get LEO and Retired LEO exemption. There is nothing they can do about that now.

Call me jaded, but maybe that is why they are opposing it: they didn't get special treatment.

I know... I've assumed the same. Agree.

Not that I don't welcome their opposition, I just won't thank them for it

LOL! No, me neither. Knowing their past behavior, of course.

Deputy district attorneys are not law enforcement officers, and therefore do not benefit from the LEO exemptions in the law. They are opposing the Newsom initiative because it is an affront to justice. The are opposing it for the same reason everyone here is opposing it.

So, no one ever supported something that benefited an ally for political gain even if it didn't directly benefit themselves.
You have me laughing at that one. Nice try.

So with the ADDA who would be the party on the other side of that to be receiving a benefit?

Between the lines the letter by the Los Angeles Association of Deputy District Attorneys (ADAA) is subtlety saying they do not know
how to enforce Newsom's initiative.

Ahhhhh. That explains the opposition.
