Across the nation, COVID-19 is exposing all manner of tyrants, with mayors,
governors and judges believing their powers are without limitations. This
is exceptionally true with Obama appointee Judge Andre’ Birotte of the
Federal District Court in the Central District of California. He recently
denied a temporary restraining order (TRO) to prevent local governments
from closing gun stores. The TRO was requested by several 2nd Amendment
organizations in response to both the City and County of Los Angeles’
inconsistent actions regarding what businesses are considered “essential”
and which are not.

In essence, Birotte ruled that it’s okay to ban the possession (and
acquisition) of guns for some people as long as you don’t ban it for all
people, as this would be a violation of the landmark case, Heller v. DC.
The judge came to his conclusion by using the judicial “balancing test” of
“intermediate scrutiny” which in this case GOC believes to be illogical and
flawed. In fact, in the Heller decision, the late 2^nd Amendment giant,
Justice Antonin Scalia strongly warned against using such judicial
balancing tests.

Moving beyond the “legal-ese”, what does this mean to gun owners throughout
California and the nation? It’s absolute evidence that battles in the
courts must continue in order to hold reckless judges – and power-hungry
mayors and government officials to account. [2]WILL YOU DONATED TODAY TO
HELP US FIGHT BACK? If they aren’t going to heed what they should have
learned in high school civics regarding the Constitution, then they will
learn it through legal action.

GOC will continue to be engaged in this process – to make certain that
every law abiding citizen in the state of California has the ability to buy
a gun to insure the safety of their families and homes. And following up on
last week’s communication with Governor Gavin Newsom, he has yet to respond
to our official letter noting the federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency’s amended guidance that designates the firearms industry as
essential. Newsom's executive order had left the authority to close gun
stores to local law enforcement agencies and further indicated he would
follow recommendations from CISA. [3]READ the letter to Governor Newsom
