California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) just dropped a jaw-dropping gem on CNN’s The Story Is, claiming that hospice fraud—rife with abuse, fake patients, and millions in bilked Medicare dollars—lingering for *years* after it was flagged isn’t a failure of his office. No, per Bonta, it’s a shining example of the scope and scale of the problem. Translation: When government watchdogs nap through systemic grift under their nose, it’s not incompetence; it’s… discovery? This isn’t just bureaucratic spin; it’s a masterclass in accountability evasion from the top law enforcement office in a state already drowning in regulatory overreach.
Dig deeper, and the irony thickens like California smog. Bonta’s DOJ has poured resources into chasing ghost guns, suing gun makers into oblivion, and enforcing ammo background checks that treat every 2A exercise like a felony setup—yet a sprawling hospice scam, preying on the dying and taxpayer-funded, festers unchecked. Reports from the DOJ’s own audits show fraudulent providers enrolling healthy folks as terminally ill for payouts, with little action until whistleblowers screamed. This isn’t isolated; California’s regulatory state balloons with agencies like the Department of Justice wielding unchecked power, yet fails spectacularly on real crimes. Implications for the 2A community? Crystal clear: The same apparatus hell-bent on disarming law-abiding citizens can’t even police hospice hustlers. If Bonta’s crew can’t handle Medicare bandits, why trust them with your Second Amendment rights? It’s a glaring reminder that big government doesn’t protect; it projects failure as scale while gun owners foot the bill—and bear the brunt of selective enforcement.
The real scope here? A DOJ more obsessed with culture war wins than public safety. 2A advocates, take note: Every dollar and detective diverted to infringe on your rights enables scams like this. Demand better—or better yet, demand less government meddling altogether. Bonta’s Freudian slip exposes the rot; now it’s on us to amplify it before the next scale hits our doorsteps.
