Ninth Circuit tosses California law limiting gun purchases to one every 30 days

Newsom brags about passing “tough” gun laws.  Yet, the radical Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals continue to rule against his anti-Second Amendment gun taking.

“California cited gun restrictions and taxes, and licensing laws targeting Native Americans as evidence of historical precedent for its case, leading Hayes to write limits on Native American sales — and other “groups excluded from the political community” as a historical analogue is “dubious, at best,” and that the presented historical laws did not include a “limit on the quantity or frequency with which one could acquire firearms.”

Of course Newsom has armed bodyguards that YOU pay for.

Ninth Circuit tosses California law limiting gun purchases to one every 30 days

By Kenneth Schrupp | The Center Square, 8/19/24  https://www.thecentersquare.com/california/article_3ed705e6-5e72-11ef-9947-539cd88d77c4.html?a?utm_source=thecentersquare.com&utm_campaign=%2Fnewsletters%2Flists%2Ft2%2Fcalifornia%2F&utm_medium=email&utm_content=headline

(The Center Square) – A new ruling from the United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals now will prevent California’s law limiting gun purchases to one every 30 days from taking effect. 

While a federal district court had issued an injunction against the law, California sought a stay against the injunction via the Ninth Circuit. The Ninth Circuit issued a stay, reversing its stay after hearing oral arguments on the case. 

The earlier federal district court injunction against the law now goes into full effect, preventing the law from being enforced. 

U.S. District Court Judge William Hayes based his ruling on NYSRPA v. Bruen, a U.S. Supreme Court case that created a new standard for Second Amendment decisions. Under Bruen, “When the Second Amendment’s plain text covers an individual’s conduct, the Constitution presumptively protects that conduct,” and the government “must then justify its regulation by demonstrating that it is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.

California cited gun restrictions and taxes, and licensing laws targeting Native Americans as evidence of historical precedent for its case, leading Hayes to write limits on Native American sales — and other “groups excluded from the political community” as a historical analogue is “dubious, at best,” and that the presented historical laws did not include a “limit on the quantity or frequency with which one could acquire firearms.

Hayes placed a 30 day stay on the ruling pending an appeal, which is now complete, meaning Hayes’ judgment takes effect.

One thought on “Ninth Circuit tosses California law limiting gun purchases to one every 30 days

  1. Politicians have learned that if you want to get something passed by the public just keep rewarding the proposition or the law until the public gives in. What they don’t understand is that while that tactic works for money issues, Americans will never give up their guns. That is the only protection they have from all governments even their own.
