California Governor Gavin Newsom announced that he would use a U.S. Supreme Court case on Texas abortion laws to draft a law that will allow citizens to sue certain gun sellers, distributors, and manufacturers.

On Friday, the Supreme Court affirmed Texas’ law allowing private citizens to sue any person who assists or performs an abortion on a woman after six weeks.

The Texas law was designed by the state’s Republican-controlled legislature to avoid normal means of legal challenge, because rather than making state officials responsible for enforcement, it instead gave private individuals anywhere the right to sue doctors who provide abortion services in Texas and anyone else who “aids or abets” the process.

Although the Texas law was allowed to stand, the court decided that legal challenges might be filed against it. This is what critics call vigilante justice.

Newsom, a Democrat said Saturday that his team and Rob Bonta the Texas Attorney General will collaborate to develop a proposal for citizens who violate Texas’ law on assault weapons.

Newsom stated in a statement that he was outraged at yesterday’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing Texas to keep its ban on abortion services.

California can protect its laws by allowing states to shield them from federal review. This will allow it to compare assault weapons with Swiss Army knives. Texas was able to use this authority to harm women’s safety.

Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor, in disapproval to Friday’s court decision, attacked the majority of the court for not “putting an end to the madness” warning that other states may try to replicate the Texas enforcement system.

Joe Biden, President of the United States said that while he was concerned about the repealing of the abortion ban, he also said it was encouraging that the court had allowed a part to the litigation by providers.
