No, this was no accident. California has been leveraging gun regulations as a foil to anti-abortion movements elsewhere in the country, including discussions of dissemination of lists of abortion recipients, providers, and facilitators for targeting by bounty hunters.

Now we have an accidentally-disseminated list of gun owners. "Oops," indeed. Turnabout is fair play?

Yep. This is an established pattern and practice by California.

Here's a famous one:

> Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, Inc., for the 2009 fiscal year was publicly posted; the document included the names and addresses of hundreds of donors.

The law they were using to sabotage groups they didn't like finally got ruled unconsitutional.

That’s a very serious allegation to throw around when regular old incompetence is a viable explanation.

I'm not afraid to make it; there's no burden of proof online.

It's too conveniently timed--and too specific in content--to be coincidence. They didn't leak a list of everybody on food stamps during a slow news cycle.

Everything other states have threatened to do regarding abortion, California has responded to by doing the exact same thing, only replacing the word "abortion" with "guns."

Should've been the end of it. Why do you ho on to argue why you think it's true?

California has banned all guns?

Some states have actually banned all abortions so it seems like you should be able to point to a single statewide official suggesting all guns be banned. Otherwise you might be guilty of exaggerating just a bit.

AB 2847 is a clear attempt at a handgun ban (requiring California to ban 3 handguns for every new one- that's not a sustainable process). California also copied the Texas law about suing abortion providers, except for manufacturer's of gun parts (although that one hasn't gone into effect yet)

That is a disappointing disregard for modern public discourse.

You may well have something interesting to say. Alas, we will never know.

Days after the most significant SCOTUS gun decision in over a decade (Heller)?

Arguably the second most important one in 2A jurisprudence?

Yeah... still likely just incompetence, dude.

I agree, I'm thinking of Missouri accidentally publishing SSN info on a govt website.

Also the OPM not being able to secure the personal info of everyone with a security clearance.
