Newsom signs gun control bill modeled after Texas abortion law
Fox News
California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed gun legislation inspired by Texas' heartbeat law, now allowing private citizens to sue those who violate state gun restrictions.
The California gun law would grant $10,000 in damages per weapon to private citizens who sue. Citizens could also be awarded the same amount if they file a lawsuit against someone who illegally sells firearms to people under 21 years of age.
The bill was introduced after Newsom directed state lawmakers in December to draft a gun control measure modeled after Texas' abortion law, S.B. 8. The governor called for the legislation just days after the Supreme Court ruled that the Texas heartbeat law could remain in effect following a legal challenge.
