This video analyzes the Ninth Circuit's ruling in Baird v. Bont, exposing California's open carry law (Penal Code 26150(b)(2)) as a facade. The law, which theoretically allows open carry in counties under 200,000 residents, has never resulted in a permit being issued in ten years due to a lack of application processes and enforcement. The court found this deliberate non-functionality to be a violation of Second Amendment rights, particularly in the post-Bruen era, where modern justifications are insufficient to uphold restrictions without historical precedent.

This video breaks down the Richards v. Bonta lawsuit challenging California's 10-day firearm waiting period, leveraging the Supreme Court's Bruen decision. It contrasts this with the previous Silvester v. Becerra case, highlighting how Bruen's emphasis on historical tradition may invalidate laws not rooted in the Second Amendment's founding era. The discussion also touches on judicial scrutiny standards and the role of Justice Clarence Thomas's dissents in shaping Second Amendment jurisprudence.
