Attorneys for the Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in a federal lawsuit challenging California Penal Code § 26806 (SB 1384)— requiring firearms dealers to video record all transactions—have filed a reply to the state’s response to SAF’s motion for a preliminary injunction.
California has also requested a preliminary injunction against the lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The case is known as Richards v. Newsom.
The original complaint alleges Californian’s First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights violations.
SAF is joined by the California Rifle & Pistol Association, Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners of California, the Gun Owners Foundation, On Target Indoor Shooting Range, Gaalswyk Enterprises and three private citizens. They are represented by attorneys C.D. Michel and Tiffany D. Cheufront, Michel & Associates in Long Beach, and Donald Kilmer, Kilmer Law Office in Idaho. Defendants in the case are California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Robert Bonta, in their official capacities.
“The state is attempting to derail our legitimate challenge to an Orwellian law,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “The state’s argument that this law has no chilling effect on citizens trying to exercise their First and Second Amendment rights is simply ludicrous. The law amounts to an egregious privacy violation.”
“California is determined to protect what amounts to a massive surveillance regime,” noted SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “The statute is a sweeping violation of constitutional rights, proving that it’s not just the Second Amendment Gavin Newsom dislikes. He’s showing contempt for the entire Bill of Rights.”

Trump 2024
100% agree. I never again want to hear how President Trump was, and will be a dictator.
Nancy’s little pea-brained nephew is the epitome of a dictator. Glad I live in the mid-west, my heart goes out to you west-coasters.

No evidence that nuisance is related to nanny piglosy.
Are you kidding? Everyone knows they’re related.
Wow! What a reasoned, careful approach to political commentary. You are a true shining star at AmmoLand! I can’t wait for your next erudite invectives.
scumbag needs to be put in a sewer treatment plant
Or maybe a pig pen.
Pigpen is to nice a place for that commie..
I have one across the street from me.
Filming firearm transactions is the liberal brain at its extreme. There must be a million people that will never do this.
Someone in California needs to take the initiative and make Newsom a Scanner victim…
This seems like a slam dunk to defeat. It’s just that the governor is using taxpayer money to fund his attacks on our constitution. There should be some test before they can enact any law to check whether it’s passes muster constitutionally before the money is spent. I’m against more government but for this I’ll make an exception. Let’s curtail the power of governors for a change
Ruling a law unconstitutional, and actually making its banned activity legal, alas, are not always the same thing. I wouldn’t necessarily rush to carry arms inside the Post Office until it is clear that there won’t be an arrest, even now. Meanwhile, I hope your interpretation is correct.
