The state of California has lost its case to keep its gun purchase limit on the books after the Ninth Circuit Court ruled the gun control law unconstitutional.
The state legislature passed a law that limited citizens to buying only one gun per month. But the courts have ruled against the law.
Per Just The News:
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.
Imagine what the state was doing here… they cited laws that were created a hundred years ago to prevent blacks, Indians and Chinese immigrants from being allowed to buy a gun like Americans could, and they used THAT racist effort to show that they had a right to limit gun purchases!
Using a racist past to justify today’s acts.
Wow. Just wow.
It was a good ruling to bat this ignorance down.
