Federal Judge Strikes Down California Gun Sale Rationing Restriction
The Reload ^ | 3/11/24 | ake Fogleman

The Golden State cannot limit how many firearms a lawful buyer can purchase in a month.

That’s the ruling U.S. District Judge William Q. Hayes handed down on Monday. In his ruling, he struck down California’s one-gun-a-month (OGM) restriction. He found it fell outside the scope of the nation’s historical tradition of gun regulation and, therefore, violated the Second Amendment.

“Defendants have not met their burden of producing a ‘well-established and representative historical analogue’ to the OGM law,” Judge Hayes, a George W. Bush appointee, wrote in Nguyen v. Bonta. “The Court therefore concludes that Plaintiffs are entitled to summary judgment as to the constitutionality of the OGM law under the Second Amendment.”

The ruling marks the latest success for gun-rights advocates against the Golden State’s uniquely stringent gun laws. While a handful of states limit the number of certain types of firearms that a person may purchase per month, California stood alone as the only state to apply that limit to any gun or unfinished firearm receiver. The decision also adds to the growing body of case law surrounding commercial gun sale regulations, an area of Second Amendment law that has been less well-developed since the Supreme Court handed down its landmark New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen decision.

The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), which first sued California over the law in December 2020, celebrated the ruling.

“Another week, another California gun control law declared unconstitutional by a federal court,” Cody Wisniewski, FPC’s General Counsel, said in a statement. “California’s one-gun-a-month law directly violates California resident’s right to acquire arms and has no basis in history.”

Would it was only three years.

The Ninth Circuit has been actively resisting the Supreme Court on the Second Amendment for 15 years +.

The antigun lobby is the monster that won’t die, can’t be killed, will never, never stop. Even if they won, then they’d go after slingshots and folding pocketknives. Why? Because they are too well funded to stop. If you could peel back the curtain, you’d probably find a couple of non-governmental organizations (NGO) that are funded, sometimes with government money. The people in those organizations have a job with benefits. If they actually won everything their organization wants, then they’d rebrand and go after something else, because it’s a job. The anti-lead lobby started as an organization to ban bullets. They couldn’t do that, so they went after lead. When they got lead banned in all products they went after chromium and cadmium. When they get that banned, they’ll go after something else.

Let’s pass a law that says leftist press outlets have freedom of speech but can only put out one publication/broadcast a month. See how that goes.

That’s how the left operates on every issue, abortion, gun rights, gay rights, etc. Like another FReeper said the other day, when they win, which they almost always do, they just move the goal posts and continue the fight.

“Why isn’t this a huge story in the country?”


Sort of like the March of Dimes? Originally founded to combat and treat polio, when polio disappeared they switched to birth defects and now appear to be ‘fighting for the health of moms and babies’.

For those that don’t know, it’s why FDR is on the dime. He was one of the founders of the March of Dimes.
