Good on Newsom for trying. I wonder what the chance are that the Supreme Court would actually rule the same way, or if this would simply be different from the Texas law for reasons…but at least that might get a few more people to take their capriciousness seriously.

Per an NPR story, some gun-lobby folks foresaw this exact scenario and filed legal briefs opposing the Texas law for this reason. Strange bedfellows.

But Newsom’s Saturday night declaration is a fulfilled prophecy for some gun rights groups who had predicted progressive states would attempt to use Texas’ abortion law to restrict access to guns. That’s why the Firearms Policy Coalition, a nonprofit group that advocates for gun rights, filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court opposing the Texas law.

“If Texas succeeds in its gambit here, New York, California, New Jersey, and others will not be far behind in adopting equally aggressive gambits to not merely chill but to freeze the right to keep and bear arms,” attorney Erik Jaffe wrote on behalf of the Firearms Policy Coalition.
