Summary: Within one week of each other, left coast lunatics in California and Washington State have thumbed their noses at the Bill of Rights and the 2nd Amendment. Both cities passed feel-good, do-nothing bills that are aimed at punishing the law-abiding in the naive belief that they will affect criminal behavior. We have a “Go Team Moment” from Las Vegas and yet another reason you should take your gun on a date. Professor Paul ponders on a new awareness campaign, WWGWD (What Would George Washington Do). You do not want to miss this one. SOURCES: From www.breitbart.com: "On August 5, a man and woman were getting out of their car at an apartment complex in Las Vegas “when three black males came up”—one of whom allegedly had a gun—and demanded the woman hand over her purse. The man then pulled his own gun and shot the alleged armed robber, causing the other two to flee. The incident took place at about 9:25 p.m. “near Spencer Street and East Tropicana Avenue.” According to 3 News, witnesses at the apartment complex confirmed what the couple told police, and “a weapon believed to belong to the suspect also was recovered at the scene.” Metro police summed up the incident by saying the “three men (allegedly) approached a couple in their car, one of them armed with a gun. He tried to take the woman’s purse [and] the man in the car pulled out a gun and shot that suspect.” The suspect was taken to Sunrise Hospital, where he died. The two suspects who fled are believed to be “black men in their late teens or early 20s.” Susan Russell lives in the same complex where the incident occurred, and she said the news convinced her to get a gun. She said the news scared her, so she “went to the gun store.” Russell said, “I’m not against guns. But I’m against criminals using guns for criminal activities." From www.guns.com: "In 60 days, there will be no such thing as a legally grandfathered civilian-owned magazine capable of holding more than 10 rounds in Los Angeles. Mayor Eric Garcetti signed the citywide ordinance Friday prohibiting the ownership of what the state deems large-capacity detachable firearm magazines. The controversial measure was introduced by City Councilman Paul Krekorian and passed the council by unanimous vote on July 28. Krekorian, along with gun control advocates, joined Garcetti at City Hall for the signing ceremony. “I am committed to reducing the gun violence in our city,” Garcetti said. “This ban is part of that larger effort. It will help keep our streets safer and help prevent the magnitude of mass shootings. We are sending a clear message – we will not wait for Washington to act, we are ready to act now.” The ordinance, Council File 13-0068, bans the possession of any magazine capable of holding more than 10 cartridges inside the city limits. While state lawmakers enacted a similar prohibition in 1999 during the Federal Assault Weapons Ban, it allowed continued possession of mags already in circulation. The new Los Angeles law removes that protection. People who currently possess such magazines, many for collectable firearms registered decades ago, have a 60 day window to remove them from the city, sell them to a legal gun dealer, or turn them into the Los Angeles Police Department. Exemptions are in place for Hollywood prop masters, gunsmiths, law enforcement, museums who have such magazines on display and anyone with a grandfathered mag to a weapon for which there is no 10-round magazine produced. Krekorian, the author of the ban, painted the new prohibition as a lifesaver, saying, “These magazines may not be the cause of gun violence, but when shooters use them, tragedies turn into massacres.” The National Rifle Association, who challenged similar confiscatory bans in Sunnyvale and San Francisco, are pledging action on the City of Angles latest attempt at gun control. “This ordinance will not prevent violent crime or mass shootings,
