Warren vs. DC, Castle Rock v. Gonzales, Maryland vs. Wilson, DeShaney v. Winnebago County, Riss v. City of New York, CA Gov't Code s. 821, 845, 846, Balistreri v. Pacifica Police Dep't, Bowers v. Devito, Souza v. City of Antioch, CA

here are a few cases that clearly state the government is not their to protect people but people still claim the police are their to protect society, even in a rich nieghborhood they are useless since they take 30 minutes to arrive and the only thing they do good is cleaning up dead bodies. If they are useless in a rich nieghborhood, imagine how useless they are in a disaster like Katrina, or in a poor nieghborhood with a gun ban. The nanny state is not effective in controlling crime.

That is most of the CA politicans view of gun rights and it appears she does not care about the individual liberity. Just a typical CA socialist. They are still trying to pass ammo registration and it may pass, requiring the courts to overturn that law too.

Yes reasonable laws like background checks are fine and should be supported but the term "reasonable" can vary. Obama reasonable gun laws views is what washington DC had which is a ban, politicans can be very tricky.
