US EditionCalifornia’s 1-Gun-per-Month Purchase Limit Violates Second Amendment, Appeals Court Rules
The Ninth Circuit ruled California's one-gun-per-month law unconstitutional, marking the first time it struck down a gun control law on Second Amendment grounds.
- On August 14, 2025, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals finalized its mandate, making the June 20th ruling that overturned California’s one-gun-per-month restriction enforceable.
- On June 20, 2025 a three-judge Ninth Circuit panel affirmed Judge Danielle Forrest's ruling that California’s one-gun-a-month law violates the Second Amendment.
- The panel found no historical tradition of limiting firearm purchases to one within a set period and stated `the Second Amendment protects the right to acquire arms`.
- As of Thursday the mandate is in effect, rendering California’s one-gun-per-month purchasing limit no longer enforceable, though the state may still appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
- Observers say the decision sets a historic precedent as the first time a Ninth Circuit panel invalidated a gun control measure under the Second Amendment without full court reversal.
