Governor Gavin Newsom issued a statement today in response to the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals decision.

"Today’s commonsense decision by the Court validates our core message: the people, not courts, should be the ones deciding how to keep our communities safe from gun violence," Newsom stated. He added, "If other states followed our policies, thousands of lives would be saved – we won’t stop defending our laws from the right’s radical lawsuits."

Newsom emphasized the importance of state policies in addressing gun violence and expressed his commitment to continuing legal defense against challenges.
