Federal Judge Overturns California's Ban On Assault Weapons

I wonder how long this ruling is going to stand?

U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez of San Diego released a 94-page ruling late Friday, indicating California's three-decade ban on assault weapons violates the Second Amendment's right to bear arms.

"Like the Swiss Army Knife, the popular AR-15 rifle is a perfect combination of home defense weapon and homeland defense equipment. Good for both home and battle, the AR-15 is the kind of versatile gun that lies at the intersection of the kinds of firearms protected under District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008) and the United States v Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939)," Benitez wrote.

"Yet, the State of California makes it a crime to have an AR15 type rifle," Benitez continued. "Therefore, this Court declares the California statutes to be unconstitutional."

    Well, it was a US District court, so Nuisance can appeal to the ninth circuit court, which will promptly over rule that district court.

    For what? the third time? Another round of injunctions and legal maneuvering, just like the magazine ban being overturned. BTDT a whole bunch of times before.

    Nevertheless I appreciate your posting this "breaking news" in the appropriate sub form.

    So, can we buy a non-cali AR15 now while it's being appealed?

    Unlike the magazine bans which came and went, this looks as though it might amount to something . I lived in CA for many years, so I'm pulling for you guys, In addition, unlike some dealers on GB, I will any item that is legal for you to own!
