A new bill in California would allow private citizens go after gun makers in the same way Texas lets them target abortion providers, though gun advocates immediately promised a court challenge if it becomes law.

SAN DIEGO —

“There is no principled way the U.S. Supreme Court cannot uphold this California law. None. Period full stop. It is quite literally modeled after the law they just upheld in Texas,” Newsom said. The group and Assembly Minority Leader James Gallagher, a Republican, said Newsom is trying to distract from failing policies elsewhere that recently have prompted falling polling numbers.

But Texas’ new abortion law is unique in that it bars the government from enforcing the law. The idea is if the government can’t enforce the law, it can’t be sued to block it in court. That hasn’t stopped abortion providers from trying to block the law. But so far, the U.S. Supreme Court’s conservative majority has allowed the abortion law to stay in place pending a legal challenge.

“Our message to the United States Supreme Court is as follows: What’s good for the goose is good for the gander,” said Democratic state Sen. Bob Hertzberg, the author of the proposal. “I look forward to rushing a new bill to the governor’s desk to take advantage of that United States Supreme Court guidance.”

GovofCO what are waiting for?

Go California!! If Texas can force women to birth babies from rape and incest, California can hold irresponsible gun owners to account

Sounds like a good thing. Glad to see someone shoving gopers stupid laws back in their pie holes

Let's DO THIS. SueTheMFers

The irony is already lost on the gun nuts

Why don't the private citizens go after the worthless criminals? I know, what a concept, right? When a drunk driver hits you can we sue the car manufacturer?

Newsom is the American Trudeau.

Why would we want to do that? They are making villains out of inanimate objects. Stop wasting time. Focus on mental illness.

“I have no issue with guns or gun owners,” Newsom said. “I have a serious issue with gun violence.” Ah yes, those pesky guns just keep popping off on their own and causing all sorts of havoc. Surely when they are more illegal than they are now in CA things will be better.

They playing you

California Uber alles.
