Bonta v. State of California

Bonta v. State of California was a legal case in which the California Attorney General challenged a law that limited the types of cases the state could pursue against firearm manufacturers for mass shootings. The state argued the law infringed on its authority to seek accountability. The court ultimately ruled that the law was unconstitutional because it conflicted with the state's traditional authority to regulate safety and public health through legal action. This decision reaffirmed California's ability to hold firearm manufacturers accountable for certain public safety issues.
