State lawmakers say limiting gun purchases to once every 30 days deters trafficking and straw purchases, but judge rules there is no historical precedent for such a ban
In what is becoming a familiar pattern, a San Diego federal judge ruled Monday that a California gun law is unconstitutional because of the lack of any historically similar laws. The latest regulation to be overturned — though it will remain in effect for the time being, pending appeal — is the state's ban on high-frequency firearms purchases, otherwise known as the one-gun-a-month law. It restricted California residents from buying more than one firearm within a 30-day period.
'Another week, another California gun control law declared unconstitutional by a federal court,' Cody Wisniewski, an attorney for the Firearms Policy Coalition, one of the plaintiffs in the case, said in a statement. 'California's one-gun-a-month law directly violates California residents' right to acquire arms and has no basis in history,' said Wisniewski, who is also vice president and general counsel for Firearm Policy Coalition's Action Foundation.
