Federal Appeals Court Cancels California’s ‘Gun Rationing’ Law

Communist/Globalist-controlled California—like Illinois and a handful of other deep blue states—has some of the most ridiculous gun laws in America.

This from slaynews.com.

According to Breitbart:

[A]t least one of those ridiculous laws was trashed last week after the Second Amendment Foundation won a crucial court victory squashing California’s gun-rationing law.

The law allowed law-abiding citizens in California to purchase only one firearm every 30 days. It became one of the strictest and most irrational gun laws in the entire United States.

Thankfully, the decision to quash it was upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The decision marks a major win for the Second Amendment Foundation. Thousands of law-abiding gun owners in California will no longer have to wait 30 days to purchase a new firearm.

Breitbart noted the original case was brought by a group of gun owners and organizations, including FFL license holders. The outlet reported:

The case, Nguyen v. Bonta, was brought by SAF, the Firearms Policy Coalition, Inc., and San Diego County Gun Owners PAC, two FFL gun dealers, and six private citizens including Michelle Nguyen.

The Ninth Circuit’s panel that upheld the lower court’s decision had Judge Danielle J. Forrest write the majority opinion on the matter. The judge wrote:

California has a ‘one-gun-a-month’ law that prohibits most people from buying more than one firearm in a 30-day period. The district court held that this law violates the Second Amendment. We affirm.

Further:

California’s law is facially unconstitutional because possession of multiple firearms and the ability to acquire firearms through purchase without meaningful constraints are protected by the Second Amendment, and California’s law is not supported by our nation’s tradition of firearms regulation.

SAF executive director Adam Kraut commented on the court’s ruling:

Today’s decision claws back a portion of Second Amendment rights stolen by California’s government.

Further:

California’s one-gun-per-month law was in clear violation of the Second Amendment, as affirmed by the unanimous decision in the Ninth Circuit.

And:

This ruling is one step closer to liberating the people of the state from the totalitarian ideals of those in power who believe the right to keep and bear arms is a second-class right.

Under President Trump, there is a steady uptick of court decisions going in favor of Americans’ Second Amendment rights.

If such an asinine law can be shot down in California, it gives great hope that other anti-gun laws can be erased in other states as well, even blue ones. Only time will tell what the next anti-gun law will be to fall into the hands of the court.
