9th Circuit affirms San Diego judge’s ruling that California’s ‘one-gun-a-month’ law is unconstitutional

  • On June 20, 2025, a federal appeals panel upheld a San Diego judge’s decision declaring California’s restriction limiting gun purchases to one per month unconstitutional.
  • The law, which limited residents to one firearm purchase every 30 days, was challenged by gun owners, advocacy groups, and dealers citing infringement of Second Amendment rights under the 2022 Bruen ruling.
  • Judge William Hayes and the 9th Circuit panel found no historical precedent for such a restriction and ruled that temporally limiting gun purchases unlawfully restrains constitutional rights.
  • The majority opinion emphasized that there is no precedent for the government to limit the timing of exercising constitutional rights in this way. Brandon Combs, president of the organization involved, highlighted that the ruling affirms individuals cannot face arbitrary restrictions on how many firearms they may purchase at once.
  • As a result, California residents can now purchase firearms more frequently, while the state considers appealing the ruling or seeking further review.
