Right. But LEOs are also gran...@Anonymous 6:55 am:<br /><br />Right. But LEOs are also granted multiple exemptions to "assault weapon" bans and "high-capacity magazine" bans.<br /><br />He's a police officer. Until now, he's probably done pretty well, served his department and community, stayed out of trouble. Yet California's insane gun laws still bit him in the @ss.<br /><br />The point is, <b>we will be hard-pressed to find a better or more sympathetic plaintiff against California's unconstitutional "assault weapon" scheme.</b> Hypothetically, "Sumdood" - a "known-to-police" community gang banger who (somehow) has a clean record - has the same Constitutional claim, but nobody truly believes he's innocent or deserving. That's not usually true of a cop. A panel of judges is likely to be more sympathetic to an innocent person getting caught in the legal meat grinder of bad laws if that innocent person is a cop.<br /><br />It'll be a long slough, and it'll be expensive, but like I said, we'll be hard-pressed to find a better plaintiff.Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09378629103793458871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9422233.post-73714082348085063772016-08-04T06:55:41.082-07:002016-08-04T06:55:41.082-07:00The law is the law and we hold our law enforcement...The law is the law and we hold our law enforcement officers to higher standards than we do our politicians.
