Democrats sent Gov. Gavin Newsom a bill to restrict who can obtain a concealed-carry permit in California, teeing up a possible Supreme Court fight.
Hearings begin Monday in series of challenges to California’s gun restrictions following a Supreme Court ruling that could reshape state’s gun laws.Republicans blasted the bill as a misguided and discriminatory effort by Democrats to blame lawful firearm owners for gun violence in California.
“We’re punishing law abiding people who are simply exercising their constitutional rights, and doing nothing about the criminals who continue to victimize people each day in this state,” said Assembly Republican Leader James Gallagher of Yuba City. “It’s sick. Don’t lecture me about gun control and gun violence if you’re not going to do something about the people who are the real problem.
It’s likely that the Supreme Court will weigh in on the issue again. Legal challenges are already underway to similar laws thatAndrew Willinger, executive director of the Duke Center for Firearms Law at Duke University in North Carolina, said the Supreme Court’s ruling left a lot of questions for lower courts to answer, which has caused great national confusion over the new rules.
“The sensitive places seems to me to be a little more consequential, because even if you have a concealed-carry license, you’re not going to be able to take your firearm to this long list of places,” Willinger said. “I think ultimately this is probably something that will go to the Supreme Court in the next couple of years.”
