The National Rifle Association (NRA) issued a scathing response to Democratic. Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/a> signing new laws that will double the taxes on gun and ammunition sales in the state and bans people from carrying firearms in many public places.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The NRA condemns the legislation enacted by Gov. Newsom. It is a blatant and egregious attack on the rights of law-abiding Californians and a calculated maneuver to dismantle the Second Amendment<\/a>. Newsom\u2019s consistent attacks on the constitutional rights of the citizens while ignoring criminals are converting California into a beacon for violence and lawlessness,” NRA Western Regional Director Dan Reid told Fox News Digital in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Newsom signed a handful of gun laws on Tuesday, including Assembly Bill 28, which adds an 11% tax on all gun and ammo purchases in the state on top of the federal government’s 10% or 11% tax on gun purchases.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The carnage, it\u2019s too much. We can\u2019t normalize it, we can\u2019t accept it,” Newsom said during the signing ceremony in Sacramento. “This is a small price to pay.” The state was the scene of two mass shootings earlier this year that left a combined 18 people dead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Violent crimes in California<\/a> rose 6.1% in 2022 compared to 2021, while property crimes increased by 6.2%, according to a report published this year by nonprofit CalMatters. Homicides dipped slightly, according to the report.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m celebratory, because I\u2019m proud that we were able to sign these bills,” Newsom added. “But it\u2019s going to require a national construct, a national frame in order to ultimately address this.”<\/p>\n

Newsom’s signature on AB 28 means California is the first state to level a special tax on gun purchases<\/a>. Funds raised by the special tax, which are estimated to generate $159 million per year, will go toward the state’s Violence Intervention and Prevention Grant Program and the State Department of Education.<\/p>\n

NRA GETS UNANIMOUS GOP BACKING IN SUIT TO DISMANTLE GOVERNOR\u2019S \u2018UNLAWFUL\u2019 GUN ORDER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

When questioned by a reporter why the governor has previously rejected tax increases but supported an additional tax on guns and ammunition, Newsom compared the legislation to a “sin tax.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“For me this is a little different. This is an excise tax related to gun safety that funds mental health services, funds school safety programs \u2026 I see this a little bit differently, in that context. This is not a general income tax, not a corporate tax, this is \u2026 from my perspective, more of a sin tax, where there is a cause and effect and justification,” he responded.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reid shot back that the comment exposed Newsom’s “prejudice on legal firearm ownership.”<\/p>\n

“During his press conference today, Newsom likened the excise tax to a ‘sin tax,’ exposing his prejudice on legal firearm ownership. It is an attempt to penalize citizens for exercising their constitutional rights<\/a>. The NRA vows to fight these oppressive laws, standing firm with the majority of Americans in opposition to Newsom\u2019s draconian initiatives,” Reid said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Newsom also signed Senate Bill 2, which increases restrictions on where gun owners can carry in public, and tightens restrictions on who can obtain a permit, which the NRA said on its website can allow authorities to “arbitrarily deny applicants.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The governor also signed Senate Bill 452, which requires all semi-automatic pistols be equipped with microstamping technology that can “etch unique identifiers on expended cartridges,” according to a California press release<\/a>. A federal judge in the state ruled against the use of such technology earlier this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
