The ad, which ran in the Houston Chronicle, substitutes gun violence where abortion was mentioned in a letter written by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.
SACRAMENTO, California -- California punched back Friday against two recent landmark U.S. Supreme Court decisions. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced he would sign a controversial, first-in-the-nation gun control law patterned after a Texas anti-abortion law.
Lawmakers patterned the bill, at Newsom's request, after a Texas law allowing citizens to sue anyone who provides or assists in providing an abortion. The U.S. Supreme Court gave preliminary approval to the Texas law, but California's law will automatically be invalidated if the Texas law is eventually ruled unconstitutional.
Opponents of the California bill, including an unusual combination of gun owners' advocates and the American Civil Liberties Union, have criticized creating what they said amounts to a bounty system to encourage such lawsuits. The ACLU called California's law"an attack on the constitution" for deliberately trying to sidestep judicial review by empowering enforcement by citizens and not governments and for undermining due process rights.
The new law"will make it easier for victims of ghost gun violence, like me, to help enforce our gun laws," said Mia Tretta, who was shot in Santa Clarita during a 2019 attack at Saugus High School and is now a volunteer with Students Demand Action. They include measures requiring schools to periodically inform parents about the safe storage of firearms and barring anyone from making more than three guns a year or making any guns with a 3D printer without obtaining a state-issued license.
