California State Senate votes to exempt its members from gun laws

[old lady new shooter]

The California state Senate voted 28-8 Wednesday to exempt itself from the pointless gun-control laws that apply to the rest of the populace.

Anybody here surprised by this?

Just like at the national level, I think we need a law forcing our legislators to abide by whatever laws they force on us. Does anyone here know of any states that currently have such a law?

Why how thoughtful and considerate those California state legislators are. Sort of reminds me of every time they vote themselves pay raises, extra job perks, and exemptions from any number of laws that effect their fellow citizens. And we need these self-serving politicians for what exactly? Oh yeah, to make our lives better and safer!

I don't mean this as any slam to you....

I'm only surprised that 5yr old news is news to you.

How Orwellian! In "Animal Farm", the final sole commandment became "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

I guess the legislatures in CA figured ol' George had it right. Of course, "Animal Farm" was a parody on Stalinist Russia.

I would be surprised if the politicians weren't exempt from the laws they create.

Yes, some web sites are re-publishing a 2011 article.

It refers to bills from Rod Wright - SB 465, and SB 610.

465 failed.

610 passed and was chaptered, but that language was deleted from the final bill.

Unconstitutional. Violates the 2nd and the 14th Amendments.

It is unbelievable how arrogant and hypocritical liberal politicians can be.

On second thought, it isn't.

Thanks Librarian, maybe the mods will see your post and lock the thread as it appears some don't see that it is no longer a pertinent or topical discussion.
