The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed Friday with a San Diego federal judge who found that California's law that barred buying more than one gun per month was unconstitutional.
The law, which was struck down by U.S. District Judge William Hayes in March of last year, was intended to cut down on what's known as straw purchases, in which someone legally buys a gun, then gives it to someone else who is prohibited from possessing a firearm.
Both Hayes and a 9th Circuit panel agreed, with their findings applying the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen, which holds that gun laws should be consistent with the nation's historical tradition of firearm regulations.
