In California, we are committed to passing and defending commonsense, constitutional gun laws that save lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In a press release, Bonta noted that Californians should remember that carrying a firearm that is loaded in the majority of public locations is banned in general unless the person has been given a license through the application process with law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday that New York\u2019s requirement for people to have \u201cproper cause\u201d in order to get a license violated their Second Amendment and 14th Amendment rights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In the majority opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote, \u201cWe know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officers some special need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cNew York\u2019s proper-cause requirement violates the Fourteenth Amendment in that it prevents law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their right to keep and bear arms,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">California has a similar requirement known as the need to demonstrate \u201cgood cause.\u201d Bonta\u2019s press release noted that this is \u201clikely unconstitutional under\u00a0Bruen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">However, other measures to get a permit from law enforcement are still enforceable, such as the need to have \u201ca successful\u00a0background check, the completion of a firearms safety course, and proof of residency, employment, or business in the county or city within the county.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The attorney general also pointed to several ways \u201cto continue preventing gun violence strategically and aggressively,\u201d such as pushing for \u201ccommonsense gun laws,\u201d taking guns away from people who aren\u2019t allowed to have them, and stopping the sale of illegal guns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">According to The Wall Street Journal, the high court\u2019s decision brings up questions about other gun laws in at least eight additional states, as well as the District of Columbia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Tim Pearce <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-scotus-strikes-down-new-york-concealed-carry-restrictions-restrictions\">contributed<\/a> to this report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In light of the recent Supreme Court ruling on a New York concealed carry gun law, California state Attorney General Rob Bonta discussed legislation efforts in the Golden State. \u201cCalifornians are committed to safeguarding our citizens, our children, and our future through commonsense gun laws,\u201d\u00a0Attorney General Bonta said in a statement. \u201cStates still have the &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":95,"featured_media":1527379,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1527356","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1527356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/95"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1527356"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1527356\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1527379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1527356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1527356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1527356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
