CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: California’s Glock ban sets stage for nationwide gun control.

There’s more than just a ban:

Beginning July 1, firearms dealers will also be required to complete comprehensive, state-approved training designed to help them identify customers who might pose a danger to themselves or others.

On the surface, the measure sounds entirely reasonable, even noble. Nobody wants firearms falling into the wrong hands or arming someone who hears voices in the drywall.

The catch, as always, is the inevitable consequences of these supposedly well-meaning grand plans. Once private businesses are forcefully transformed into behavioral screening centers, subjective judgments hijack the purchasing process.

What actually constitutes suspicious behavior? Who decides the baseline for mental stability at a retail counter? What protections exist for ordinary individuals who are wrongly flagged based on an employee’s personal biases, political views or a simple misunderstanding?

Suddenly, a minimum-wage store clerk is acting as a state-mandated psychologist with the power to deny a constitutional right, transforming a retail transaction into an amateur interrogation.

Conservatives and civil liberties advocates nationwide should pay very close attention to this shift. California has a long, documented history of exporting its political trends to the rest of the country. Policies that begin as Petri dish experiments in Sacramento almost always become the blueprint for progressive lawmakers elsewhere.
