The Firearms Policy Coalition, an advocacy group, pledged a court challenge should the California bill become law.
“California already has the strictest gun laws in the nation, so it’s not clear what Governor Newsom is hoping to accomplish here besides a sad publicity stunt,” Gallagher said in a statement. That decision incensed Newsom and his Democratic allies in the state Legislature. California has banned the manufacture and sale of assault weapons for decades. But last year, a federal judge overturned that ban. The law is still in place while the state appeals the decision.But the decision inspired Newsom and Democrats in the state Legislature to copy Texas’ abortion law, but make it apply to gun makers instead of abortion providers.
“If Texas succeeds in its gambit here, New York, California, New Jersey, and others will not be far behind in adopting equally aggressive gambits to not merely chill but to freeze the right to keep and bear arms,” attorney Erik Jaffe wrote in a legal brief on behalf of the Firearms Policy Coalition, a nonprofit group that advocates for gun rights.
The bill would let people seek a court order to stop the spread of these weapons and recover up to $10,000 in damages for each weapon, plus attorney’s fees.
I’m surprised new some is still breathing, really
AGREED!
I can’t wait to start grabbing peoples guns from them magneto style.
Great News! I can't believe that here in Texas, our politicians hate women even more the they love guns. Banning high capacity magazines or assault rifles 'limits their rights' but telling a woman she can't get an abortion is perfectly fine with them.
cryborg Private citizens, attempting to enforce a law, in canceal and carrying guns, is not going to end well. Way too dangerous
Should go well.
As an avid gun owner I support this wholeheartedly, if other states want to mess with a womans rights using this evil strategy then fairplay, usually rabid 2A fanatical white toxic males, let them have a taste of their own medicne
Gun advocates immediately promised a court challenge if the bill becomes law in the state.
