Feb 21 (Reuters) - A federal judge on Wednesday blocked California's attorney general from enforcing a new law that allows residents, the state and local governments to sue members of the firearms industry that manufacture or sell "abnormally dangerous" guns.
U.S. District Judge Andrew Schopler in San Diego sided with, opens new tab a firearms industry trade association in finding that part of a gun control measure signed into law by Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom in 2022 was likely unconstitutional.
It is the first ruling in a case challenging the constitutionality of California's Firearm Industry Responsibility Act.
The law was enacted shortly after the conservative-majority U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling in June 2022 concerning the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment that significantly expanded gun rights.
Newsom, in signing the new state firearms restrictions into law in July 2022, called them necessary to ensure makers of deadly firearms could be held accountable in court and could "no longer hide from the mass destruction that they have caused."

Oh no. Someone made a dangerous gun!
They need to stop the friggin’ bottom feeding Mexicans from suing U.S. Gun manufacturers. After all, THE BREAKFAST TACOS are the ones who are flooding America with killer drugs, Gangs and freeloaders demanding the American gringo taxpayers award them with “a better life.” The free “instant American dream.” Hypocrites!
Is a" red-ryder lever action carbine with a compass in the stock " abnormally dangerous?
Just wondering. And have you seem that nasty Black Bart around these parts? Im gonna give him whats coming to him.
What about abnormally dangerous hammers?
How can anything be abnormally anything from California’s perspective!
There is nothing normal about that state!

Strangely enough, this judge is a Biden appointee.
I am amazed how many scary adjectives are used when making up a new law that the left knows is unconstitutional.
Or abnormally dangerous politicians, or political parties?
I am always so happy to hear and see Newsome being thrashed.
I cannot imagine California people thinking all is well in that state. Grim information.
Long ago, almost 100 years ago, we were returned to the USA after being in Japanese concentration camps for 3 plus years in the Philippines. We were returned to California where my parents and my Mom’s family and her grandparents were living in Northern Calif..around the base of the volcano, Mt Shasta. I actually don’t know where her parents and grandparents et al, were “from”. All I knew and know is that everyone was in northern California and happily so. Probably at least one of my currently alive relatives knows all that information.
There are not too many of us old ones left now, and I think we all did not, NOT, vote for the current governor. Probably not too many young ones either.
So. here I sit, an ancient old woman wondering why we ever let him become elected. I think we should have taken our “part” of Calif and shared it with Nevada and Oregon and Separated. It is shameful we are citizens of Newsome country.
Mass killings did not take off like a rocket till the mental hospitals were closed and the inmates dumped on the streets.
Before the 1970s there were three mass killings.
Howard Unruh in New Jersey(1949) with a luger pistol.
Richard Speck(1966) in Chicago with a strangling cord and knife. Student nurses were the victims.
Charles Whitman(1966) with a slow to load bolt action rifle.
Others were mostly mob killings and a few political assassinations, even though rapid fire semi-auto rifles had been on the market since 1903. Yes, 1903.
Even Miss America, 1982 made LIFE Magazine in 1963 when she shot an AR-15. Good enough for her it is good enough for us today.
**bottom feeding Mexicans from suing U.S. Gun manufacturers.**
Back in 1968, after the murder of Bobby Kennedy, politicians and news men demanded the US institute gun laws like MEXICO has.
A letter to the editor told how Mexico had more knife killings each year than there were gun deaths in the US.
The editor mentioned that the cause was that in Mexico they had the cult of “MACHO” and we do not have that here!
Well, it’s here now!
Maybe he understands that language like this is so vague that it is bound to be overturned along the path upwards to the Supreme Court, and he does not want an overturned decision like that on his judicial record.
Or abnormally dangerous golf clubs? I figure that’s what Elin went after Tiger Woods with when she found out he was screwing around on her. Nothing like a well struck four iron.
well than, im sure criminals will turn in their “ abnormally dangerous” guns for “normally “ dangerous guns.
= = =
Just paint the end of the barrel orange.
Interesting family story.
Such histories are fascinating and sadly not always passed down to younger generations. I’ve been learning more about my family history tracing back to Sicily and possibly other parts of Italy. But it’s mostly just names, not much more.
You’re right, it is hard to understand how Newsome can be a re-elected Governor when certain CA cities are dealing with high crime, when the budget is out control, when many things seem broken.
He was a magistrate judge for the same court [SD California] before he was elevated to the district judgeship.
This sometimes makes a difference in judicial temperament.
How about suing those who have committed “abnormally” dangerous crimes and the politicians who aided and abetted them?
