Newsom signs California gun bill modeled after Texas abortion law.

This is great! Ha ha!

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday signed a bill into law that allows private citizens to bring civil action against anyone who manufactures, distributes, transports or imports assault weapons or ghost guns, which are banned in the state.

California Senate Bill 1327 is modeled after a Texas law that allows private citizens to bring civil litigation against abortion providers or anyone who assists a pregnant person in obtaining an abortion after as early as six weeks of pregnancy.

The US Supreme Court in December allowed Texas' six-week abortion ban to remain in effect, which prompted Newsom, who has been supportive of abortion rights and pro-gun control, to say he was "outraged" by the court's decision and direct his staff to draft a similar bill to regulate guns.

Under the California law, a person would also be able to sue a licensed firearms dealer who "sells, supplies, delivers, or gives possession or control of a firearm" to anyone under 21 years old. It allows citizens to sue for a minimum of $10,000 on each weapon involved, as well as attorney fees.

Newsom, a Democrat, on Friday acknowledged that the law would likely be challenged in court.

Guns don't kill, people do, they just make the job easier!

The way things are going in this 'United' States we will soon have borders separating us from one another.

Now we have to have the balls to draft some legislation directed at men who reproduce. Put the onus on the male and make them financially for the woman's health care costs. Not just the babe once it's born but they gonna pay for her to carry and deliver that child.

Sue for a minimum [Emphasis RCC] of $10,000 on each weapon involved, as well as attorney fees?

Interesting phrasing -- hit 'em where they live -- their wallets.😍
