California blocks gun sales to those at risk of breaking law

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Gun makers and dealers in California will be required to block firearms sales to anyone they have "reasonable cause to believe is at substantial risk" of using a gun illegally or of harming themselves or others, under a new law that Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Tuesday that he had signed.It’s a subjective requirement that goes farther than current background checks or prohibitions on selling guns to people prohibited from owning them.The regulation is part of the new law creating a good conduct code for gun makers and dealers that also allows anyone who suffers harm from violations to sue.The bill was one of more than a dozen adding to California’s already strict gun regulations that were sent to Newsom, a Democrat, by state lawmakers before they left for their monthlong summer recess.The National Rifle Association said the requirements are vague and represent an attempt to hold gun dealers and makers liable for the actions of others.
