California state senate says that gun laws aren't meant for the ruling class

EDITORIAL: One law for us, another for you - Washington Times

Sometimes they don't even pretend to not be hypocrites.

The editorial is extremely poorly written. It's (apparently) referring to SB610, although the author thoughtlessly left out the specifics of what he's complaining about, and the bill as passed says pretty much the exact opposite of what he claims it does.

As originally written, SB 610 said that being an elected official is "good cause" for a CCW permit. It also reformed the CCW permit process so sheriffs have to respond to "good cause" statements prior to imposing fees, training requirements, etc. It was then amended to remove the "elected officials" exemption which was then moved to another bill (which has not been voted on yet).

The only thing the passed version of the bill does is to reform the CCW permit process for all Californians. When this becomes law, sheriffs will have to stop imposing fees prior to denying applications for insufficient "good cause."
