California Gun Ban Overturned

January 6, 2024

In a legal whirlwind, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has given the green light to a judge’s ruling that temporarily bars California from enforcing a controversial law prohibiting the carrying of guns in most public places. The court, citing concerns about the law’s constitutionality, dissolved a previous order that had allowed the ban to take effect on January 1.

The initial injunction, issued by a judge who deemed the law unconstitutional, faced a temporary suspension from a different 9th Circuit panel last week. However, in a surprising turn of events, a new panel of judges has now lifted the stay, putting the law on hold once more.

Gun rights groups, elated by the decision, celebrated the thwarting of what they deemed a “ploy to get around the Second Amendment.” C.D. Michel, a lawyer representing these groups, asserted, “So the politicians’ ploy to get around the Second Amendment has been stopped for now.”

California’s battle to defend the ban will continue, with the appeal scheduled to be heard in April. The state’s attorney general argued in court papers that blocking the law would heighten the risk of gun violence for tens of millions of Californians.

Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom’s spokesperson, Daniel Villaseñor, expressed concern, stating, “This dangerous decision puts the lives of Californians on the line.”

The genesis of the law dates back to a landmark Supreme Court ruling in June 2022. The conservative-majority court, in the case of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v Bruen, expanded gun rights nationwide. Striking down New York’s strict gun permit regime, the court declared that the Second Amendment protects the right to carry a handgun in public for self-defense.

California, among the states with laws similar to New York, swiftly moved to overhaul its firearms regulations. The newly contested law, Senate Bill 2, prohibited carrying concealed guns in designated “sensitive places,” including hospitals, playgrounds, stadiums, zoos, and places of worship, regardless of concealed carry permits.

U.S. District Judge Cormac Carney, appointed by former President George W. Bush, ruled on December 20 that the law violated the Second Amendment, aligning with permit holders and various advocacy groups. The legal battle over the controversial gun ban promises to be a focal point in the ongoing national discourse on gun rights and constitutional interpretation.
