California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed more than a dozen firearm-related bills into law Friday, including one that expands the state's existing red flag law.
One law allows Californians to purchase just one long gun per month starting in July 2021. Another mandates that ammunitions dealers at firearm shows follow the same regulations as licensed firearm dealers.
But one law in particular is being hailed as one of the most strict gun seizure laws in the nation.
The law will allow co-workers, employers, and teachers to seek a "red flag" firearm restraining order against anyone they believe is a threat to themselves or others that asks a judge to temporarily take away someone's firearms, the Sacramento Bee reported.
Previously, only law enforcement or immediate family members could seek such an order.
Newsom also signed a companion bill that allows the restraining orders to remain in place for one to five years, the Associated Press reported. The same bill allows a judge to also issue a search warrant at the same time the restraining order is issued.
The bill is so extreme that the American Civil Liberties Union is speaking out against it.
From Fox News:
Other Second Amendment advocacy organizations, including the National Rifle Association and California Rifle and Pistol Association, vehemently opposed the law.
The law takes effect on Jan. 1, 2020.
