Now that the Supreme Court has tossed out a New York law limiting who can get a permit to carry a gun, California’s rules are on shaky legal ground.Lawsuits can be brought against anyone in California who knowingly manufactures, distributes, transports, imports, offers, sells or even lends an assault weapon, .50-caliber Browning machine gun or firearm without a serial number.
People who knowingly engage in conduct that helps someone violate these restrictions could also be sued, even if they didn’t know the person they were helping was going to violate the law, SB 1327 states. So, too, could suits be brought against anyone who sells, offers or transfers unregulated gun precursor parts.
For cases involving firearm sales in California to buyers under 21, lawsuits could be brought only against the licensed gun dealers involved. Larry Keane, a spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, stressed that lawsuits under SB 1327 were limited to conduct that’s illegal in California. His group would take issue “if someone were to try to assert a claim against people outside of California for lawful conduct occurring outside of California,” he said.
For example, Keane said, imagine an AR-15 that’s manufactured legally in Connecticut, sent legally to a distibutor in Louisiana and a retailer in Nevada, then sold legally to someone in that state. If the gun found its way somehow into California and is misused, he said, SB 1327 wouldn’t allow you to sue the out-of-state manufacturer, distributor or retailer who complied with their state and federal laws; instead, you could sue only the person who violated California law.
Cool so every criminal that sells a gun illegally can be sued by legal gun owners
🤔
When can we sue the fork makers for causing obesity?
It will do nothing except make things more expensive. The average person loses again.
They will ONLY enforce this against whites in the Inland Empire & up north. Ethnic gangs in So Cal & Bay Area will be left alone.
Based on the Bruen decision, this law will not withstand scrutiny in the Federal Courts !
So i can buy guns from gangs?
Stupidest thing I ever heard of
Sounds against the Constitution to me. Sounds like more blatant destruction of the Bill of Rights. 'the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.'
Speaking of guns did you guys hear about the machete wielding maniac at Times Square on New Years Eve?
Bet they won't do anything about Tyrone and his Glock switches though
and courts will change the 'legal landscape' because most of your 'gun control laws' are unconstitutional.
I guess you’re not much of news outlet.
So do we have the green light to sue alcohol company’s for people that drive drunk and kill people? Knife company’s that people stab eachother with? Tobacco company’s for cancer? I could go on forever
Could Californians sue lawmakers that makes it almost impossible to defend themselves against criminals by limiting access to guns and ammo? Why wouldn’t you support this?
How about putting people who use guns illegally in prison?

Totally unlawful under federal law
Really similar to an abortion law in Texas so it might work🤷🏻♂️
So can gun companies counter sue
Narrator - They can't.

😂😂😂
What if the person with the gun is a minority? Does the law not apply because of racism?
Hmmmm.
Let us know how that works out.
Literally every single gang member in the streets of LA are walking around with an illegal firearm that's also illegally concealed. But I'm guessing this law will only apply to those legally carrying, aka White and Asian people.
Funny how pro choice advocates correctly criticized the bizarre questionable civil enforcement aspects of the Texas anti abortion law and then turn around and use the same wrong legal maneuver to attempt gun control.
I'm sure the gangs and cartels that are illegally selling these guns are going to immediately stop out of fear of being sued! There've been 18 stabbings with two fatalities in DTLA since the week of Thanksgiving. 90% of the attackers were homeless. I'm sure they'll stop if we sue
How about sewing the government for failing to protect them
You can sue anyone for any reason. You don't need to have a law for that. The question is prevailing. Will you prevail or the defense take all your possession to pay for the case expenses. Then, what are you going to do? A FundMe campaign?
So every criminal who commits the crime of selling illegal guns can be sued by legal gun owners?
Communist China has been wanting to wipe out the second amendment for decades, California Democrats are doing their bidding. The only criminals in California are the law abiding citizens.
country_ca Good!
Criminals laugh, while California turns the law-abiding into criminals.
Leftists are not willing to hold criminals accountable. They're more comfortable blaming Americans who exercise normal fundamental rights. 2A
CaliforniaRifle People can already sue people that break laws. 🙄 That's how you know there's an anti-Second Amendment angle.
I'm sure the gangs and cartels that are illegally selling these weapons are going to immediately stop out of fear of being sued!
Some day California will be normal.
Does this mean we can sue the State Senate?
But not the actual person using it illegally...?
