The Court's ruling was in response to a lawsuit filed by gun-rights groups on behalf of Junior Sports Magazines, Inc., challenging California's law that prohibited marketing or advertisements of firearms or firearm parts that could be attractive to minors. The Court stated that the First Amendment requires more than good intentions to justify restricting speech.
Governor Newsom's statement, calling the Court's decision "pure insanity," has been met with skepticism. He and Attorney General Rob Bonta both claim to be concerned about keeping guns away from children, yet their opposition to marketing firearms to minors seems contradictory. Critics argue that this opposition stems from an irrational fear of guns, known as hoplophobia. They believe that Newsom and other gun control advocates suffer from this fear, which leads to an exaggerated aversion to anything related to firearms.
