SAN DIEGO—A San Diego federal judge has denied a request from gun owners for a temporary restraining order to block a newly signed state law that allows their personal information to be shared with a research center studying gun violence.
The suit filed earlier this month by the National Rifle Association on behalf of five gun owners identified as John and Jane Does—three of whom are San Diego County residents—seeks to block enforcement of Assembly Bill 173, which amended state laws to allow disclosure of gun owners’ personal information to the California Firearm Violence Research Center at University of California—Davis.
