William Kirk, President of Washington Gun Law, details a significant legal victory striking down California's unconstitutional fee-shifting law (SB 1327). This law, designed to deter Second Amendment lawsuits by forcing plaintiffs to pay state legal fees if they didn't win 100% of their claims, was deemed a violation of the First, Second, and Fourteenth Amendments. Judge Roger T. Benitez issued a permanent injunction, effectively removing a substantial financial barrier for those challenging firearm regulations in California.
Colion Noir critically analyzes San Jose's new law imposing fees and mandatory insurance on gun owners. He argues this ordinance, championed by Mayor Sam Liccardo and linked to Michael Bloomberg's political network, disproportionately burdens law-abiding citizens while failing to deter criminals. The law faces significant constitutional challenges and is characterized as a political money laundering scheme.
Ruger's CEO, Mike Fifer, explains how California's microstamping requirement, which mandates unique serial numbers etched onto primers and casings, is an unachievable engineering feat. This regulation, coupled with the 'not unsafe' list, effectively acts as a backdoor ban on new semiautomatic pistol sales in the state, with potential national implications. Ruger is pursuing litigation to challenge these requirements.
