In the years since, California’s progressive politicians have layered on restrictions while gun owners and manufacturers continue to try to find their way out of them. And every new mass shooting reignites the debate.

In that , It’s a debate that’s been raging since Gov. Gavin Newsom took office. In his inaugural speech, the governor denounced “a gun lobby willing to sacrifice the lives of our children to line their pockets.” Meanwhile, a National Rifle Association spokesman predicted the Trump-altered Supreme Court meant “winter may very well be coming for gun laws in California.”

However ,As Newsom and Democrats in the Legislature continue to push California gun restrictions to the legal limit, gun rights activists are pushing that legal limit back through the courts. In the last two years, California’s ban on assault weapons, on high-capacity magazines and on rifle purchases by adults under the age of 21 have all been slapped down by conservative judges. The first two were rescued on appeal and the last is still pending.
