Constitutional Scholar Jonathan Turley Says Newsom’s Plan For Gun Laws Modeled on Texas Abortion Ban Won’t Work
California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) is now pushing for gun laws modeled after Texas’ abortion ban.
The “heartbeat” law effectively outlaws abortions in the state after 6 weeks and also gives any citizen – including those outside Texas – the right to take legal action against anyone who ‘aids and abets’ the termination of a pregnancy after the cut off point.
“Newsom argued that the court has endorsed states’ ability to create similar legal mechanisms to safeguard laws from federal court review. In his statement Saturday, Newsom referred to a recent federal court decision that overturned the state’s ban on assault rifles in which the judge compared the weapons to a Swiss Army knife.” the Los Angeles Times reported.
