Federal judge strikes down California's 'fee-shifting' gun control scheme

The difference is that abortion is not protected in the Constitution.

Yep. Newsom having a temper tantrum about abortion law in Texas, so thought he would be clever and try the same kind of law in CA. He still think he has boxed in the Supreme Court, with the ruling. I doubt it, but will see.

Not specifically in the Constitution but it is in the Declaration of Independence
which is the Founding Document of this nation that was signed and ratified on
July 4, 1776.
The Constitution followed up The Declaration and more specifically outlined the
Principles found in the Declaration and it was ratified in 1788 and thus the Bill of Rights.
 
As soon as SCOTUS strikers down one anti-gun law, rabid anti-gun democrats write another one ...

If only SCOTUS would do what they swore they would do.

The BOR is expressly about disallowing government abuse of liberty and misconstruing the rights we hold.
The 2A points out the people hold this right. (And the 14A applied it to all states.)
The 2A expressly disallows fiddling with ownership and with carrying arms.
And it even says why it's so vital to keep government's mitts off this right.

A judge should have struck this lunacy down. All of SCOTUS should, 9:0, at every instance, whenever such challenges get presented.

Please feel free to point out the word "abortion" in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, or its Bill Of Rights (which are amendments to the Constitution, and thus actually part of the Constitution itself.)

Thanks for granting your permission: (Actually I need your submissive approval for nothing, just too neat!)

What did the 14th amendment have to do with Roe v. Wade?​

Writing for the majority opinion in Roe v. Wade, Justice Harry Blackmun said that the court held a woman’s right to an abortion was implicit in the right to privacy protected under the 14th Amendment. However, while the Supreme Court ruled in favor of a woman's right to choose, it also acknowledged the state's interest in protecting the "potential of human life."

The Declaration points out the natural Rights of LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT OF
HAPPINESS.

Neither the Declaration nor the Constitution contain the words/ phrases "First degree murder" of "Armed Robbery" either as I recall.
 
Not sure what you might have missed but the "Right to Life" in the Declaration
clearly covers it for me.
It's what you missed. I said "abortion is not protected in the Constitution" and you responded "Not specifically in the Constitution but it is in the Declaration."

Now you're saying life is protected in the Declaration. You changed my "abortion" to "life", then disagreed with what I never said!

Sorry for any misunderstanding. I interpreted what you said as saying that "Life",
{which is ended by abortion} was not protected by neither the Declaration nor The Constitution because neither specifically mentions the word "abortion" as being
either legal or illegal.
We then do agree.

Whew! Thanks.

While it is an important document in the history of the country (and the world), the Declaration of Independence has no legal standing.
and if you read it, you’ll see that it really doesn’t establish a government or define rights. It does present a list of grievances, and the reasons that the colonies were declaring themselves no longer subject to the king.

Abortion is not specifically mentioned, The founding Father's had no idea this country would be so BRUTAL! And would have done everything they could have to include specific verbage to make sure they were understood if they would have forseen this "Wickedness"

But LIFE is in the "Declaration Of Independence".

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are LIFE, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"

This has been and is debatable. The U.S. Supreme Court has on several occasions,
deferred to the Declaration of Independence in forming decisions before them.
If the Declaration had no legal standing, why would they even consider it?
It defines principles that were to be a guide in the forming of the Constitution which was finalized 12 years later.
