California Governor Gavin Newsom on Friday signed a law that would allow private citizens to sue people who sell, manufacture or distribute assault weapons and guns made at home to avoid tracing.
The law is a swipe at a Texas law that allows individuals to sue anyone who helps a woman obtain an illegal abortion in the state.
Newsom has pushed for the law since last year, when the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Texas law allowing the vigilante-style lawsuits. In the ad placed in Texas newspapers, Newsom showed an anti-abortion quote by Republican Governor Greg Abbott that said abortion cost children their "right to life." He said the new California legislation was the state's answer to "Texas' perverse bill that placed bounties on doctors and patients."The Firearms Policy Coalition, a California gun rights legal group, called Newsom's Texas ad a "twisted victory lap" and said the governor's actions were "nothing short of a revocation of the natural rights of those he was elected to represent.
