A California Sheriff recently sounded off on Gov. Gavin Newsom’s agenda surrounding firearms. Riverside Country Sheriff Chad Bianco slammed Newsom after a court struck down an initiative to ban concealed carry in most public places in the state.
“It was definitely a relief because having that go into effect and the potential of what was going to possibly happen to law-abiding residents was really unacceptable,” Bianco told Fox News Digital. “The fact about everything we’re doing taking away the gun rights and ownership and the (carrying a concealed weapon) aspect of the whole thing — where you can carry and where you can’t — it flies in the face of what they do with criminals.”
Bianco continued drawing on a common criticism that many liberal gun laws disenfranchise law-abiding gun owners. The Riverside sheriff added that California’s “pro-criminal” agenda refuses to assign responsibility and personal accountability to those who break the law.
“They have a very pro-criminal stance in California, and they have for years, all of the laws. Newsom’s goal is to close as many prisons as he can, to not prosecute and to not sentence anyone to state prison. They blame law enforcement. They blame society. So, there’s never a personal responsibility on someone’s criminal behavior. It’s always someone else’s fault. And there is this agenda that is extremely pro-criminal in Sacramento,” the Sheriff continued.
Sheriff Bianco seemingly defends all of the law-abiding gun owners of his state, who have undergone painstaking, arduous procedures to prove they are worthy of firearm ownership and the privilege to carry in a concealed manner out in public.
“They took the exact opposite stance for law-abiding residents here who have gone through background checks, who have proven over their lifetime that they’re good, law-abiding residents, to say that somehow or imply somehow that they’re a danger to the public when they have a gun out in public,” he said.
Bianco insisted that California’s leadership abandon the anti-Second Amendment agenda and focus on better ways to mitigate paramount issues such as out-of-control crime and general societal decay. While residents are having their firearm freedoms stripped, the sheriff claims the state is being destroyed by poor politics.
“It’s very dishonest, and I think he needs to drop his gun agenda, his anti-2A agenda. And he needs to concentrate on the skyrocketing crime in California and the quality of life issues for the residents of California that are being destroyed by the policies that he is promoting,” he continued.
Bianco added that many of his constituents feel Governor Newsom should resign as he neglects to represent their interests. He doubles down, emphasizing Newsom’s role in “destroying” the state while refusing to allow residents to protect themselves adequately.
“People that would relate it to the governor are basically saying he should resign,” Bianco stated. “He is absolutely against residents. He does everything about destroying the quality of life in California by creating policies that increase crime that cause us to be in more danger when we are out in public. And yet he refuses to allow residents to protect themselves or to have the tools to protect themselves. So, really, they want him gone. They want him to resign.”
