BREAKING! Federal Judge Blocks California Handgun Restrictions. California can’t ban residents from buying modern handguns.
That’s the ruling handed down by Federal District Judge Cormac J. Carney, a George W. Bush appointee, on Monday. He found California’s requirement that all new pistols sold in the state include a series of uncommon or even theoretical safety devices is unconstitutional. He ruled the regulation, which has resulted in no new handgun models being sold to civilians in nearly a decade, violates the Second Amendment.
“Californians have the constitutional right to acquire and use state-of-the-art handguns to protect themselves,” Judge Carney wrote in his preliminary injunction for Boland v. Bonta. “They should not be forced to settle for decade-old models of handguns to ensure that they remain safe inside or outside the home.”

Financial Brief: Banking Developments
BLUF: Federal Government feeds banks $2 trillion in funds that are "not a bailout", Credit Suisse and other banks near collapse but get $50 billion loan, contagion fears seem more justified.
Investment analysts now predict Credit Suisse will be the next bank to collapse after record decline (22%). Shares did go back up after it secured a $53 billion loan from the Swiss National Bank (which only stokes additional insecurities). First Republic, PacWest, and KeyBank also saw "major" declines. First Republic Bank will be "rescued" by a group of larger banks who will deposit $30 billion into it.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) are now investigating the collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank.
Moody’s Investors Service have updated the outlook for the U.S. banking system from "stable" to "negative". Some analysts do not expect a "contagion" effect (collapse if multiple additional banks) to occur due to the low exposure of major banks JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley.
The Biden Administration announced the Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) which will make "funding available to eligible depository institutions to help assure banks have the ability to meet the needs of all their depositors." According to JP Morgan Chase, this will see the Federal Government administer ~$2 trillion in taxpayer funds into the U.S. banking system.

Field Notes: Inspectors with the United Nation’s International Atomic Agency (IAEA) reported "10 drums containing approximately 2.5 tons of natural uranium in the form of UOC (uranium ore concentrate)" to be missing from their previously known location in Libya. The unaccounted for nuclear material may now "present a radiological risk, as well as nuclear security concern" according to the IAEA.
