The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says California Gov. Gavin Newsom is a hypocrite for signing a law barring local governments from requiring voter identification while still expecting gun buyers to provide ID before exercising their Second Amendment rights.
Democrat Newsom is a career anti-gunner who has supported every gun control measure to come along in Sacramento. He proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would gut the Second Amendment.
His end game is to make gun laws as personally invasive as possible simply to deter Californians from exercising their right to keep and bear arms.
On the other hand, the bill he signed bars local governments from enacting local ordinances requiring residents to provide valid identification in order to vote in municipal elections. The new state law was aimed at Huntington Beach, but affects all other California cities.
“Gavin Newsom’s hypocrisy evidently knows no limits,” said CCRKBA Managing Director Andrew Gottlieb. “Demanding background checks and positive identification to buy a gun, but not requiring ID to vote essentially treats the Second Amendment as a second-class right, and the U.S. Supreme Court has already made it clear that sort of double standard is off the table.
“The notion that requiring voter ID somehow places obstacles in the path of certain groups is ludicrous,” he observed, “because Newsom hasn’t protested about obstacles placed in the way of gun buyers, regardless their age, race or economic status. Indeed, he’s all for making it as tough as possible for law-abiding Golden State residents, no matter who they are, to legally purchase or own firearms.
“If identification is required to exercise one fundamental right,” Gottlieb said, “it should be required for all rights, and vice versa. There should be no double standards, which is now the case in California. Andi-gunners like Newsom invariably say things are different when it comes to guns, but we’re not talking about guns, we’re talking about rights.”

Kali will probably produce MORE Votes than it has People this time.
Now that it is clear that all of Newsollini’s Biden ass kissing isn’t going to get him near his presidential aspirations he’s back inflicting harm on Commiefornia. So now any illegal alien can vote?
Wait until the next census Commiefornia will get back the seat it lost from legal residents fleeing the state.
If the illegal ones who come here intending to become productive residents, if not citizens, are smart, they’ll flee the Peoples’ Republic of Commiefornistan when they get the chance, too.
Hell, let them stay, why mess up another state. Kommiefornia is giving them XXX dollars to buy a home, welfare, money for housing, free medical, cars, furniture etcetera all out of the tax payers pocket. Oregoneistan is doing close to the same thing only less money for a down payment on a home. Let’s keep all the trash in one basket.
Remember, Gavin is Nancy’s nephew. Like Auntie like dog shit, in the democrat class it’s the same thing. I hope Trump wins and we can get voter ID laws passed that are federal that the state must comply with. The comply part is the problem so I have been told but at least it will be on the books and then it might do as good as our federal laws regarding illegals coming into our country without passports and breaking in. We need to change the laws. I know people on here are against it but they seem to always… Read more »
Considering all politicians, when they take office, recite an oath before God and country that contains the line “I swear to uphold and protect the Constitution of the United States from all threats, foreign and domestic.” Taking that into account, it should be illegal for any political candidate to run on an anti Constitution platform. If they do get voted in, they are lying when they take the oath of office. After all, they are the domestic threat to the Constitution.
I don’t think you would find anyone that matters on here disagreeing with that. We need to take action against these traitors that lie to get into office and then after they are in, turn into RINO’s. Or, they are demonkkkrats and lie from the second they decide to get into politics.
Step one is to change Real ID requirements to indicate if the person is a U.S. citizen or not.
I never thought about Real ID. I think we need a new voter ID that cannot be forged and is connected to a database for that purpose. I think it should be free because that would eliminate the left being able to use that the poor people cannot afford it and it would prohibit them from voting. Then there is no excuse other than inconvenience and believe me our government inconveniences on a daily basis, one more is not going to change anything.
Trump 2024
I’ve been saying for some time that everything you have to do to exercise your right buy a gun from an FFL, you should have to do to exercise your right to vote. If it’s OK to burden one fundamental right in our Constitutional Republic, it’s OK to burden the rest of them. Yep, fill out a 4473 and have a background check to vote. And, since the 4473 records the description and serial number of the firearm(s) you’re buying, the 4473 for voting will also include who or what you vote for. Every restriction or condition they want to… Read more »
Oh, wow, you just made me have a crazy thought. And with your idea, add a drop of blood for the DNA database to make sure there is no tampering with the vote. I guess another thing that could bypass that is that you can have the chip. 666
Trump 2024 no chips for us.
Hypocrite? He’s just trying to protect the proud people of color from Jin Crow activity at the DMV. And that’s pretty righteous.
You think .357’s and .308’s are “poodle shooters” and you think you fought in Vietnam and Panama…
Gotlieb does have a suspicious past.
