This video from Colion Noir, an expert in firearms law and advocacy, details a new California gun law that compels dealers to block sales based on 'reasonable cause to believe' a buyer poses a risk, even if they pass a background check. Noir argues this subjective standard, coupled with potential civil liability for dealers and manufacturers, is a legislative strategy to financially cripple the firearms industry rather than directly ban guns, circumventing Supreme Court rulings.

Quick Summary

California's new gun law mandates dealers to block sales if they have 'reasonable cause to believe' a buyer is a risk, even after passing a background check. This subjective standard, along with potential civil liability for dealers and manufacturers, is seen as a strategy to financially bankrupt the firearms industry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the new California gun law requiring gun dealers to do?

California gun dealers must now block sales to anyone they believe could use a gun to harm themselves or others, based on 'reasonable cause to believe' the buyer poses a substantial risk, even if they pass a background check.

How does this California law differ from background checks?

This law introduces a subjective requirement for dealers to assess a buyer's potential risk, going beyond the objective criteria of standard background checks and potentially leading to discrimination.

What is the alleged goal of these new California gun laws?

Critics, like Colion Noir, argue the goal is to financially cripple the firearms industry by imposing significant civil liability on dealers and manufacturers, making it impossible for them to operate.

Are gun manufacturers also being targeted by California legislation?

Yes, California has laws making it illegal to market to children and is attempting to pass legislation holding manufacturers civilly liable if their firearms are used in crimes, despite federal protections.
