Second Amendment groups challenge California gun measure modeled after Texas abortion law

Published



Gun rights groups filed a lawsuit against a California gun law that aims to emulate a Texas abortion law by allowing private citizens to sue the makers and distributors of guns that are banned in the Golden State.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) criticized the Texas law in July when he signed Senate Bill 1327, a measure aimed at cracking down on sales of illegal firearms and a move that explicitly aimed to rebuke the Texas law and the Supreme Court‘s summer decision to allow states to impose laws severely restricting abortion access.
