9th Circuit rules California ban on marketing guns to minors is probably unconstitutional

Source: LA Times

California's law banning the marketing of firearms to minors is probably unconstitutional under the 1st Amendment, a federal appellate court ruled Wednesday.

Writing for a unanimous three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, Circuit Judge Kenneth K. Lee wrote that while the ban may be intended to diminish gun violence, the "First Amendment demands more than good intentions and wishful thinking to warrant the government’s muzzling of speech."

California allows minors to use guns under adult supervision for hunting and other activities, Lee wrote, and the state "cannot straitjacket the First Amendment by, on the one hand, allowing minors to possess and use firearms and then, on the other hand, banning truthful advertisements about that lawful use of firearms."

The ruling reverses a lower court decision that went against several gun groups and denied their request for a pause on the law's enforcement while they sue over its legitimacy. The case has now been sent back down to the lower court for further proceedings. It marks a major victory for gun clubs that work with kids and which had argued that the ban — under Assembly Bill 2571, signed into law in 2022 — prevented them from attracting young members and teaching them how to safely operate firearms.

I am going to Orlando for a film festival. I am selected to be a part of it. I am Jewish

Should I be nervous? I wear my Star of David proudly around my neck.

My entire name is Jewish so I cannot hide it even if I wanted to hide it.

Should I be nervous after what just happened in Orlando with "the Jews will get the rope" and "the Jews won't replace us?"

The above translates as "I'd rather cry in a BMW than laugh on a bicycle." This right here explains dating and relationships in modern CCP China.

Love is a commodity. If you ask a girl (Chinese women like being called girls. To them, a woman is old and marriage with children, or a "leftover woman," which is an unmarried woman over 35 years old) out on a date, the first question she will ask will be "how much will you give me?"

Money is now the God in Communist China. It is worshiped here. I can't blame women here. . .men here think the more money they give to a woman, the more she will "love" him. Relationships are built on materialism and greed. Even marriages have a "bride price," because, as her parents will say "you are taking our daughter away from us and we're getting nothing for it?"

Communist China, thanks do the greed of the CCP, has turned in the 1980s "what's in it for me" generation and put it on cocaine and growth hormone.

"Let's out out for coffee."
"How much will you give me? You just want free things from me."

"Let's get dinner."
"Give me 红包 (red envelope) and I will. That will prove you're a good man."

Since talking face to face with people here is dead (because they have been indoctrinated that strangers, especially foreigners, are dangerous), the only interaction you have 90% of the time is through online methods (陌陌，探探，微信，etc [momo, tantan, wechat, etc]), it will take between 5-10 minutes before the "give me red envelope" statement comes.

I know this because I have these interactions even though I am married. When I add people, it's research for a screenplay about relationships I am going to write. When they add me, it's "you're so handsome. I like you. Give me money and I'll come find you." Of course, I respond by saying "I'm married" or "are you a hooker." The former will get "but I'm prettier" and the latter will get "no, I'm not. I just love money." When I tell them to go marry a bank, they call me 小气 (stingy), insult my manhood, tell me to get out of China, and then block and delete me.

I will repeat! DO NOT COME TO CHINA!!! You are not welcome here. Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Vietnam are much better places to do. Avoid Singapore too. And avoid Maledives. It is illegal in Maledvies for one of their citizens to even speak to a foreigner unless it is a business transaction.
