Federal Judge Strikes Down California Gun Law as Unconstitutional

A federal judge on Monday blocked a California law that restricts the sale of new handguns.

U.S. District Court Judge Cormac Carney pointed out that parts of the legislation violate the Second Amendment and therefore are unenforceable.

Carney’s order in the case of Boland, Santellan, et al. v. Bonta took notice of the fact that no new models of semiautomatic handguns have been approved for sale in California since 2013 and citizens of that state seeking to conform to the statute in question would be forced to purchase older handguns, some of which would not have the safety features available on newer models. Specifically, Carney’s opinion pointed out that:

No handgun available in the world has all three of these [safety] features. These regulations are having a devastating impact on Californians’ ability to acquire and use new, state-of-the-art handguns.

The state law known as the Unsafe Handgun Act carved out an exception for older handguns that don’t have to conform to the safety conditions imposed on current handguns.
