It allows people to sue those who distribute illegal assault weapons or parts for untraceable ghost guns.
Newsom stitched the two hot-button topics together in approving a law allowing people to sue anyone who distributes illegal assault weapons, parts that can be used to build weapons, guns without serial numbers, or .50 caliber rifles. They would be awarded at least $10,000 in civil damages for each weapon, plus attorneys fees.
It's a similar tactic to the television ad that Newsom, a Democrat running for re-election, recently aired in Florida targeting Gov. Ron DeSantis. Newsom has repeatedly denied presidential aspirations even while stoking that speculation. Newsom signed the bill while visiting a memorial at Santa Monica College in Los Angeles to five victims killed in 2013 by a gunman using such a gun — a homemade assault-style rifle without a serial number.
Newsom acted a day after he signed eight other gun laws among numerous measures adding to California's already strict regulations.
