SACRAMENTO - Governor Gavin Newsom issued the following statement today regarding 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. 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. - Governor Gavin Newsom
