This is the solution, but we don't use it:
Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officer's judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable. For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be considered to be a statute of the District of Columbia.
(R.S. § 1979; Pub. L. 96–170, § 1, Dec. 29, 1979, 93 Stat. 1284; Pub. L. 104–317, title III, § 309(c), Oct. 19, 1996, 110 Stat. 3853.)
US Code Section 1983
We should be hitting the Governors, police chiefs, state attorneys generals in their personal pocketbooks. A nationwide campaign and this **** would end quickly, imo.
Is there a Cliff Notes version of the ruling?
Here is the abridged version:
"You are hopeless ignorant Hicks if for even a moment you think WE are going to let you exercise your Constitutional Rights in OUR State."
Can you imagine how quickly The Hill would pass qualified immunity for all elected officials if there were a significant number of 1983 lawsuits filed?
Is there a Cliff Notes version of the ruling?
Got the Cliff Notes version for non lawyers?
Didn't bother to read it. If the courts ruled in favor of gun owners, the state would just ignore it and make new laws to circumvent it. If they rule against gun owners, the state will claim it as a victory and vigorously prosecute. When a Supreme Court decision can be so easily and proudly ignored, there is no hope.
You are onto something. It appears they just want to ignore SCOTUS.
They are just delaying, running out the clock, until the day the court swings left and they will champion the end of the 2A.
Gavin Newsom Defies SCOTUS' 'Very Bad Ruling' on the Right To Bear Arms
"In 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the right to carry guns in public for self-defense, saying states could not require residents to demonstrate a "special need" before allowing them to exercise that right. Newsom responded to what he called a "very bad ruling" by backing a new law that makes carry permits easier to obtain but nearly impossible to use."
