Californians can now take legal action against the gun industry. New legislation that took effect January 1st gives residents and visitors the green light to sue people who violate the state’s laws against the manufacture, distribution or sale of assault weapons, ghost guns and other banned firearms. Licensed gun dealers who sell or transfer weapons to anyone under 21 years-old can also be taken to court. The law gives Californians the same power to threaten the gun industry that Texans have over abortion providers.
