Federal Judge Strikes Down California's AR-15 Ban

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Not sure what I feel about this decision.
I do know that a lot of CA gun laws are written by legislators who don't actually know much about guns and this leads to bad outcomes for gunowners, outcomes that have results that are absolutely litigatable in the court system.

Whenever anybody tries to argue that the US is steadily marching left, just point to its gunlust.  As a nation, we’re just too far gone.  Now that I have a family, it’s quickly become a factor as to whether we should stay here.

It's unclear to me why so many liberals were convinced that the March for Our Lives protests were anything more than the last dying gasp of resistance against gun culture. Contrary to expectations, the young are the most likely to have adopted the view that gun ownership is an inviolable right, whereas the elderly are much less likely to believe this.

American liberals' self-image relies upon them seeing the youngest generation as supportive of their goals, even if that flies in the face of all reality.

Regulating ammunition sounds more viable than regulating guns themselves.

What do you base this on?  The loudest voices on social media aren't representative of anything.

March 29, 2021 poll

All
Should be more laws regulating guns: 57%
Should be less laws regulating guns: 13%

18-34
Should be more laws regulating guns: 61%
Should be less laws regulating guns: 21%

To be sure, 'laws regulating guns' is not necessarily proxy for banning a certain class of weapons, and there is an increasing number who oppose gun laws (or support less gun laws) but, the flow or shifts is not more important than the stock, which is that a large number of young people support more gun laws, not less.

I wasn't speaking specifically about guns. I was talking more about, from my perspective as a liberal by self-ID, about how young people are generally seen by those holding the torch for American liberalism in general. The impression can be created that the youth not only care about your chosen issue but agree with your solutions, and it can be hard to accept when that is not so.
