Description: We're back for PART TWO after a successful spring 2022 US Supreme Court term, joined again by the (pro-bono) president of the 140-year old historic California Rifle and Pistol Association (he does not take a salary for the position), Chuck Michel. In this episode, Chuck breaks down the impact of the recent Right to Bear Arms (RTBA) case at the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) handed down on Thurs 23 June 2022, NY Rifle & Pistol Assn v. Bruen (https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/20-843_7j80.pdf) and what California DOJ actually did after this ruling. They released private information on every law-abiding gun owner in California, including CCW holders who have proved a need for good cause, to world-wide criminals and terrorists -- anyone with an internet connection. There is a Blue Resistance to the ruling with this goal: to criminalize innocent conduct, making it harder for people to effectively defend themselves lawfully. The flawed assumption remains: The police are your bodyguards with a duty to protect you. It's not common knowledge, but that's false . (This is easy to verify with a little sweat equity). Chuck is the LA County-based Civil Rights attorney who prevailed at the 9th Circuit in the initial 3 judge panel which issued an opinion of the Court that is FAMOUS in California for being powerfully argued & beautifully written by Judge O'SCANNLAIN in Peruta v. County of San Diego in 2014 (a Right to Bear Arms case, conceal carry). That opinion was predictably reversed en banc only by ignoring the merits of the 3 judge panel opinion of the Court. SCOTUS in Bruen now changes everything for that en banc reversal. Recall, Chuck is nationally famous as the California "Freedom Week" attorney, which, if you don't remember, within the span of a few days in 2019, brought 1,000,000 standard capacity magazines into California. The District Court issued a wonderfully persuasive, masterfully argued Finding of Fact and Opinion of the Court Duncan v. Becerra (366 F. Supp. 3d 1131 - Dist. Court, SD California 2019). At issue there was the unConstitutionality of California's arbitrary and capricious 10-round magazine limitation.
