Federal judge blocks California law that would have banned carrying firearms in most public places

A federal judge on Wednesday temporarily blocked a California law that would have banned carrying firearms in most public places, ruling that it violates the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and deprives people of their ability to defend themselves and their loved ones.
The law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in September was set to take effect Jan. 1. It would have prohibited people from carrying concealed guns in 26 places including public parks and playgrounds, churches, banks and zoos. The ban would apply whether the person has a permit to carry a concealed weapon or not. One exception would be for privately owned businesses that put up signs saying people are allowed to bring guns on their premises.
The US is so fucking dumb.
Let's make murdering someone as easy as pointing and clicking, can't be any consequences from that!
America was founded by guns and it is chock full of them. There is no way to put that genie back in the bottle.
There literally is, it's called a constitutional amendment and they've been enacted many times before.
Of course, there's not the political will for it, because, like I said, The US is so fucking dumb.
Sure there is. It's easy.
Just start giving black people guns.
The so-called second amendment absolutists will be calling for draconian gun control measures within a week.
Here's a solution:
Ban straw sales/gun show loopholes, improve auditing/background checks, do gun buybacks above rate, and ban AR sales after X date. Bought before the date, you're grandfathered in but can't sell/gift the weapon.
