It was a very bad day for Gavin Newsom.

His sweeping gun control bill was supposed to be a model for the whole country.

But it was completely destroyed in one judge’s ruling.

California already had some of the strictest gun control laws in the entire country, but that wasn’t enough for Governor Gavin Newsom.

Newsom is someone who has big political ambitions beyond the state of California, and he wanted to show off his political chops to anti-gun leftists around the country.

That’s why he signed a new law that banned guns from being carried in most public places in the state of California.

Of course, the law was wildly unconstitutional. But Newsom was banking on the liberal judges in the Ninth Circuit engaging in judicial activism and upholding his law.

His strategy almost worked. A panel of Ninth Circuit judges ignored the Second Amendment and voted to allow his law to move forward despite the obvious constitutional issues.

But finally, a sensible judge came along and made the correct ruling, which is that the Second Amendment actually means something and you can’t simply ban guns.

According to Reuters, “A federal appeals court on Saturday allowed a judge’s ruling that barred California from enforcing a new law that bans the carrying of guns in most public places on the grounds that it was unconstitutional to take effect.

“The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals dissolved an order by a different 9th Circuit panel from a week earlier that suspended an injunction issued by a judge who concluded the Democratic-led state’s law violated the right of citizens to keep and bear arms under the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment.

“Last week’s order had temporarily stayed the injunction and allowed the law to take effect on Jan. 1. Gun rights groups then asked the 9th Circuit to reconsider, and on Saturday a different panel of judges dissolved the order suspending the injunction.”

Newsom has to be absolutely furious about this ruling. He thought he had struck a blow against the U.S. Constitution on behalf of the gun control lobby, and he surely thought this would propel him to the presidency. But it didn’t quite work out that way.

The article continues, “California’s appeal of the injunction will now be heard in April. The state’s attorney general in court papers had argued ‘tens of millions of Californians will face a heightened risk of gun violence’ if the law was blocked.”

The only way Californians will face a “heightened risk of gun violence” is if they are not allowed to carry to defend themselves.

And yet that is exactly what Gavin Newsom is trying to ban in his state to appease his liberal constituents.

Thankfully, the Constitution applies to the entire country, even anti-gun states like California, and this panel of judges reaffirmed that.

And now Gavin Newsom will have to go home empty-handed after a devastating loss in court destroyed the gun control law he was so proud of.
