That’s why (one reason of a myriad) I don’t live there anymore.
The ban sure didn’t do much to stop the mass murderers here. Perps have no trouble buying weapons.
32 years overturned by a simple 2 page ruling. Can a state be held liable for denying a constitutional right?
Even though (as mentioned in other threads) this likely gets overturned by the 9th Circus, every little victory on the 2A gives Patriots more time to prepare for the time when we’ll actually need to use our guns.
Ammo is one of many
Problems with California
But “Assault Weapons” to
Be available???
When?
Is this gonna be like
“FREEDOM Day” was
With Full Size Magazines?
Mother Love a Duck!
Yeah, it will be reversed by the 9th, setting up an appeal to SCOTUS. If there’s any hope for America, SCOTUS will find for the plaintiffs, and AR-15 bans will be dead for a generation, at least.
But I won’t hold my breath.
Didn’t stop the North Hollywood shooting in 1997.
Gotta hand it to the judge, his “profiles in courage” moment. It took guts to adhere to the Constitution in our post constitutional republic, which I guess now is a “democracy”.
[[Judge OVERTURNS California’s 32 year ban on assault rifles]]
Sooo- people there can now own a dual fire, semi/fully auto gun? Because that is what an assault rifle is- by definition
but of course they don’t mean that- they mean that the judge overturned a ban on the ‘scary looking single fire semi automatic refiles’ that civilians have used for a long long time freely because our inalienable rights give us the right to self protection
[[They added that California banned guns which should have been lawful to own by designating them assault weapons using faulty rationales, such as a rifle’s ammunition capacity.]]
Exactly- a rifles ammo capacity does not make it an assault rifle- guns that are dual fire- with both semi and full auto capabilities, are assault rifles- semi automatic rifles only are not assault rifles-
This isn't clear to me. Trump did appoint many new judges to the 9th.
I like this part of the judges reasoning most:
“In California, murder by knife occurs seven times more often than murder by rifle,” he added.”
Your friend is pulling your leg. You can buy whatever ammo you want, regardless of what guns you have registered.
This isn't a "moment" for Judge Benitez. This is just who he is. He's the same judge who struck down CA's magazine capacity law, and several others. Unfortunately, the 9th Circus will reverse him again. Reading his 2A opinions is always fun. I just wish we had a lot more judges like him.
You mean Thursday?
Dubya appointed judge.
Not sure, my friend may not have a cali license since he only stays there in the winter months

As I understand it, the gangs of Kalifornia are jumping for joy! They haven’t had any “assault” weapons for such a long time! /S
It is why a lot of Californians go to Las Vegas. To purchase Ammo.
