If states can shield their laws from review by federal courts, then CA will use that authority to help protect lives.

We will work to create the ability for private citizens to sue anyone who manufactures, distributes, or sells an assault weapon or ghost gun kit or parts in CA.

AMEN! Let's hope the deep blue super majority of the California legislature feels the same way.

7. The SCOTUS majority will say

that the 2A is expressly stated in the Constitution.

Clarence especially likes to throw that explanation around.

8. The 2A only pertains to possession not the manufacture, distribution or selling of firearms.

10. Doesn't matter, this isn't about any Constitutional issue

This is a troll in the best way. Everyone knows this law will be shot down, but it will be shot down in a way that also shoots down the Texas abortion law -- no matter how much you don't like a federal law, you can't bypass it by recruiting the whole population to be vigilante snitches. This is just a way to let the SC know it isn't just about abortion, and that Texas' too clever by half dodge is out of bounds.

15. Ignore their rulings.

The scumbag anti-choice red state repukes are doing it on abortion.

The 2020’s are sounding like the 1850’s more and more each day.

9. wrongful death suits go's a long way's if enough people do it !!

11. Without Going To The Merits Of This Proposal

This is the very thing Chief Justice Roberts warned vigerously would happen if the Texas abortion law was allowed to stand. And it shows that it can cut both ways.

Frankly, I think this is nothing but a rapid response to the points Roberts raised.

12. Citizen Suit Against Antivaxxers

Not an attorney — but why not pass a law enabling private citizens to sue unvaccinated adults and collect $10k plus legal fees?

14. Thank you, I was really hoping somebody would do this. It is truly the only way

SCOTUS will pull back.
