The Capitol was buzzing with activity last week as Friday, February 18 was the deadline to introduce bills – and no surprise - the Left jumped in hot on the gun control train. This, of course, meant GOC was buzzing as well, since the media wanted our comments on Governor Newsom’s scheme (SB 1327/Hertzberg) to permit private citizens to sue manufacturers. GOC’s Executive Director Sam Paredes responded that the proposed legislation would create “ambulance chasers and bounty hunters” looking to “make a quick buck by filing lawsuits.”
“This type of wrongheaded legislation is a result of the governor and the legislature being too damn lazy to do the real hard work of trying to figure out why people commit crimes,” he said. “And those who do commit crimes, you charge them and imprison them and take them out of society. In California, we are going the other direction.” – LA TImes
GOC wrote about this in detail when the Governor first came out with this reckless move in December: “Newsom and His Texas-sized Anger: Good Luck With That...” To use the Governor’s reasoning, why then – in the name of all things “equitable” wouldn’t it be appropriate for someone to sue an automobile manufacturer – or more to the point, Newsom’s own winery – for a fatal drunk driving crime that occurred after someone had imbibed there?
