Gavin Newsom played chicken with the federal government over gun law challenges and Texas abortion restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Newsom based his approach on a law in Texas known as <a href=\"https:\/\/capitol.texas.gov\/tlodocs\/87R\/billtext\/pdf\/SB00008F.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"both-pro-gun-anti-gun-advocates-celebrate-judges-decision-striking-down-this-california-law\" title=\"Both Pro-Gun, Anti-Gun Advocates Celebrate Judge's Decision Striking Down This California Law\">S.B. 8<\/a>, where legal fees are shifted to plaintiffs who sue the state over abortion protections if they don\u2019t win on all counts. This move in Texas was made to keep civil litigation down.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Democratic governor, basically, applied the same fee-shifting scheme to those who challenge gun-control laws in California.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In September, The Second Amendment Foundation, along with several other pro-2A groups, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2022-09-26-Miller-v-Bonta-Compl-FILED.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"both-pro-gun-anti-gun-advocates-celebrate-judges-decision-striking-down-this-california-law\" title=\"Both Pro-Gun, Anti-Gun Advocates Celebrate Judge's Decision Striking Down This California Law\">filed suit in federal court<\/a> in California, asking for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/saf-sues-california-over-law-suppressing-gun-lawsuits\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"both-pro-gun-anti-gun-advocates-celebrate-judges-decision-striking-down-this-california-law\" title=\"Both Pro-Gun, Anti-Gun Advocates Celebrate Judge's Decision Striking Down This California Law\">injunctive relief and a declaratory judgment<\/a> against the state\u2019s new law asserting it violates the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The complaint also says the California law enables government defendants to recover fees if a firearms plaintiff loses on any claim in the case, while the plaintiff can only avoid liability for fees if it prevails on every claim in the case. Therefore, firearms plaintiffs cannot be \u201cprevailing parties\u201d and are never entitled to recover fees and costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of today, a federal judge has declared this approach to be unconstitutional and has permanently blocked the state from enforcing the provision known as <a href=\"https:\/\/casetext.com\/statute\/california-codes\/california-code-of-civil-procedure\/part-2-of-civil-actions\/title-14-of-miscellaneous-provisions\/chapter-6-of-costs\/section-102111-effective-112023-attorneys-fees-and-costs-of-prevailing-party-to-be-paid\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"both-pro-gun-anti-gun-advocates-celebrate-judges-decision-striking-down-this-california-law\" title=\"Both Pro-Gun, Anti-Gun Advocates Celebrate Judge's Decision Striking Down This California Law\">Section 1021.11<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;It is cynical. It is an abomination. It is outrageous and objectionable. There is no dispute that it raises serious constitutional questions,\u201d U.S. District Court Judge Roger Benitez of the Southern District of California said in his ruling.&nbsp; \u201cIt is an unprecedented attempt to thwart judicial review.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this verdict may seem like a setback for Newsom\u2019s gun control plans, he has declared victory by equating the California gun provision with the Texas abortion provision.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/newsom-threatens-texas-style-private-lawsuits-against-makers-of-ghost-guns-assault-weapons\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"both-pro-gun-anti-gun-advocates-celebrate-judges-decision-striking-down-this-california-law\" title=\"Both Pro-Gun, Anti-Gun Advocates Celebrate Judge's Decision Striking Down This California Law\">Newsom Threatens Texas-Style Private Lawsuits Against Makers of \u2018Ghost Guns, Assault Weapons\u2019<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI want to thank Judge Benitez. We have been saying all along that Texas\u2019 anti-abortion law is outrageous,\u201d Governor Newsom said in a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.ca.gov\/2022\/12\/19\/governor-newsom-issues-statement-after-court-strikes-down-provision-of-gun-safety-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"both-pro-gun-anti-gun-advocates-celebrate-judges-decision-striking-down-this-california-law\" title=\"Both Pro-Gun, Anti-Gun Advocates Celebrate Judge's Decision Striking Down This California Law\"> statement on his website<\/a>. \u201cJudge Benitez just confirmed it is also unconstitutional. The provision in California\u2019s law that he struck down is a replica of what Texas did, and his explanation of why this part of SB 1327 unfairly blocks access to the courts applies equally to Texas\u2019 SB 8. There is no longer any doubt that Texas\u2019 cruel anti-abortion law should also be struck down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this provision being struck down, it is likely the argument will be headed to SCOTUS which will give Newsom the platform he needs to challenge the Texas law. So far, Judge Benitez remains unimpressed with the governor\u2019s tactic.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Whether these distinctions are enough to save the Texas law fee-shifting provision from judicial scrutiny remains to be seen,&#8221; Benitez wrote. &#8220;And although it would be tempting to comment on it, the Texas law is not before this Court for determination.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether or not this provision was actually aimed at gun owners or to prove a point about similar legislation, the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) found cause to praise the ruling from Judge Benitez. SAF founder and vice president, Alan M. Gottlieb was thrilled with the ruling, saying it is a setback for gun control extremists.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cChristmas came early for Golden State gun owners and rights groups everywhere who find it necessary to challenge the state\u2019s restrictive firearms regulations,\u201d Gottlieb said in a statement on behalf of SAF. \u201cSection 1021.11 would have penalized gun rights groups, and their attorneys, for having the courage to take the state to court.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"both-pro-gun-anti-gun-advocates-celebrate-judges-decision-striking-down-this-california-law\" title=\"Both Pro-Gun, Anti-Gun Advocates Celebrate Judge's Decision Striking Down This California Law\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As of today, a federal judge has declared this approach to be unconstitutional and has permanently blocked the state from enforcing the provision known as Section 1021.11.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":147,"featured_media":156773,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,25,240],"tags":[132,607,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-172365","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-this-week","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Both Pro-Gun, Anti-Gun Advocates Celebrate Judge&#039;s Decision Striking Down This California Law<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"California Gov.
