California Governor Gavin Newsom is clearly positioning himself for a run at the White House in 2028.
He will likely be facing, among others, Kamala Harris, so Newsom needs to make moves to make himself the frontrunner.
Well, he did that this week, signing a slew of legislation that will make the far left very happy.
One piece of legislation signed by Newsom was the ban on the sale of “Glock-style clones” in California.
To get the legislation to fly, Dems are redefining Glock’s as “machinegun-style convertible pistols.”
The bill, in part, stated, “This bill would expand the above definition of ‘machinegun’ to include any machinegun-convertible pistol equipped with a pistol converter and, thus, prohibit the manufacture, sale, possession, or transportation of a machinegun-convertible pistol equipped with a pistol converter.”
Effectively, this legislation has now declared that Glocks are machine guns.
Another piece of legislation that was signed by Newsom will further restrict who can purchase firearms in the state.
AB 1344 extends the list of individuals who can be blocked from possessing a firearm by a court order.
In part, the legislation states, “Existing law allows a petition for these gun violence restraining orders to be made by a law enforcement officer, or an immediate family member, employer, coworker, or teacher, as specified, of the subject of the petition.”
The legislation extends the right to pursue a court order on this matter to district attorneys in “Alameda, El Dorado, Santa Clara, and Ventura.”
I have saved one of the best for last, in that it is a time-old tradition for Democrats to bring up reparations during an election year, but Newsom just took it a step further.
California entered the Union as a free state in 1850, so slavery was never part of the equation for California since it has been part of the United States, yet Newsom and the Democrats are pandering to the black community with the establishment of this office.
During a recent appearance, Newsom announced the office, stating, “I signed a bill two days ago with the Black Caucus as it relates to creating a new office to address these systemic issues.”
Translation… Newsom is trying to make himself more appealing to far-left black voters in an election. At this point, I would bet just about everything I have that as soon as Newsom’s term is over, he will announce a run for the presidency.
