We've already noted plenty of time that Assemblywoman Fiona Ma is a total killjoy -- or at least she's trying to be. However, her effort to poop all over the party has its limits. It turns out that the San Francisco Democrat, who once tried to ban raves in California, can't outlaw a certain style of music, including the dance crap that's played at raves.

What Ma was able to get passed was the Concert and Music Festival Safety Act, a new law that requires public agencies to assess any health and safety threats of large gatherings -- not just raves -- held on state property.

Still, after attending a rave herself, Ma concluded that, at the very least, the signifiers like LED gloves, pacifiers, and stuffed animals should be outlawed at raves.
