Governor Gavin Newsom has signed yet another piece of “first-in-the-nation” gun control into law — this time targeting handguns that can allegedly be “easily converted” into fully automatic weapons. Assembly Bill 1127, authored by Assembly members Jesse Gabriel and Catherine Stefani, bans California gun dealers from selling pistols that can accept illegal “Glock switches” or similar conversion devices, items that are already banned under federal law and carry serious criminal penalties for possession or use. While gun control groups like Everytown for Gun Safety, Moms Demand Action, and Students Demand Action are celebrating the new law as a “historic victory,”…

Analysts see this as a direct rejection of Trump’s style of diplomacy and his self-proclaimed role as a top peacemaker. Trump’s long-standing desire for the prize was heavily driven by his frustration over his predecessor, Barack Obama, winning it in 2009. He viewed the Nobel as a symbol of validation that the “global elite” unfairly denied him. The White House had aggressively promoted Trump’s candidacy, pointing to nominations from…
