Newsom’s Failing Score- Legislation Passed and Defeated

2024: Office of Budget revised their estimates for California under Newsoms’s administration. California will be in the hole for a total of $80 billion dollars. See Report here

Governor Newsom is wasting tax-payer money pushing his pet projects. He has called for more gun control than any previous California governor and has nothing to show for it but mounting legal bills as he continues to have his laws ruled unconstitutional in the courts. 

California Governor Gavin Newsom has made it his vindictive mission to destroy the Second Amendment in California, and with his plans to run for the Presidential election soon, he is bringing his unconstitutional laws to your state. Newsom likes to claim that his over-the-top gun control agenda is “leading” the nation in attacking gun violence, but what is Newsom’s actual record? Newsom’s continuously losing record in the courts does nothing to make California safer, get tough on the criminals that threaten the people of California, and do nothing but prop up his image with his core supporters for his campaign.

This page tracks all of the anti-gun legislation signed into law by Newsom, whether the courts have overturned the law or let it stand, and how much this reckless agenda is costing the taxpayers of California. (If there is no Cost listed, the case is still being litigated and cannot be calculated at this time)
