From the Keeping Californians Safe: OPPOSE AB 1934 page:

Emeryville Police Chief Ken James is one of AB 1934's biggest supporters. Information has been obtained through California Public Records Act Requests showing the real goal behind AB 1934 and the backers of the bill is... to "trump" the Constitutional right to keep & bear arms.

Can you show us the records you obtained?

In an internal e-mail exchange between Emeryville Police Chief Ken James, San Bernardino County Sheriff's Dept Legislative Liaison Lt. Barbara Ferguson, CA Police Officer Association Preseident John Standish, CA Police Officers Association Executive Director Carol Leveroni, Lobbyist John Lovell, San Mateo Police Chief Susan Manheimer, Special ... See MoreAssistant to the San Diego County Sheriff Marla Marshall and CA Police Chief's Association Executive Director Leslie McGill the question is raised...

"Marla [Marshall] just reminded me that this [open carry] is a 2nd Amendment right. How do we trump the Constitution?"

Are you fucking kidding me?


UPDATE: Audio of this police chief misquoting the constitution and questioning the individual right to bear arms as not constitutional...yep...

"How do we trump the Constitution?"

It is in reference to the bill in the California legislature to ban open carry which is pretty much the only way Californians can exercise their right to bear arms.

Oh, I see.

Well, "those people" are just flaunting their rights, so what's the harm in trumping the constitution?

All this nonsense about "rights"...

Yeah, looking through that, at this point, is just BS till there is real proof.
