California is advancing AB 1078, a bill that would limit firearm purchases to three per month, a response to the Nuin Vivant lawsuit which previously invalidated the one-in-30-day restriction. Despite arguments that any limit is unconstitutional and lacks historical precedent, the bill passed committee with minimal resistance. The author of AB 1078 admitted the expansion to three guns is a direct response to the court ruling and stated, 'I don't care' about causation versus correlation arguments.
