By Gun Owners of California – November 6, 2024
| The Left was handed a stinging defeat last night and make no bones about it – the Second Amendment was on the national ballot and we won – big time! And Californians can join the rest of the nation in a victory dance, because we will absolutely reap the benefits of the Trump win and crushing red wave. Even though there are still ballots to be counted here in the Golden State, there are some obvious HUGE wins: First and foremost, California voters got it right and said NO MORE to rampant crime and passed Proposition 36 – which rolls back some of the most controversial and disastrous soft-on-crime policies on the books. This is BIG! Plus, voters in Los Angeles gave a swift boot to District Attorney George Gascon, who faced an intense and welcomed backlash against his pro-criminal-extremist policies. Liberal Alameda County has apparently recalled their Leftist district attorney and even San Francisco got into the game and has ousted Mayor London Breed. There are still a number of races that are too close to call in both the State Senate and the Assembly, but as we look at the changing returns, we are hopeful that we will add members to both the State Legislature and US House of Representatives who are solidly pro-2A. We pledge to update you as soon as new information is available. |
| YES, our greatest victories have come at the federal level, and as we’ve said before, these wins land square on the shores of California! With control of the U.S. Senate, the confirmation of numerous federal judges who will support and defend the Second Amendment is all but assured – and this means our precedent-setting legal wins will increase. GOC goes where we are needed, where we can have the most impact and sometimes this means out of state. This is NOT the time for GOC to slow down, but we must put the peddle to the metal – and move our pro-2A message forward. We believe a message has been delivered loud and clear: hands off the Second Amendment and no more spineless, zero accountability free rides for criminals – especially here in California. Had Kamala Harris won the presidency, she would have continued to weaponize the power of government against our Second Amendment rights. THANK YOU FOR STOPPING HER! Now we have to be prepared for what’s sure to come: after a short period of mourning, and blaming everybody but themselves, the Left will regroup and prepare for their next battle against us. And we will be ready. |
