https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142752536A federal judge Friday overturned California’s three-decade-old ban on assault weapons, ruling that it violates the constitutional right to bear arms.
U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez of San Diego ruled that the state’s definition of illegal military-style rifles unlawfully deprives law-abiding Californians of weapons commonly allowed in most other states and by the U.S. Supreme Court.
“Under no level of heightened scrutiny can the law survive,” Benitez said. He issued a permanent injunction against enforcement of the law but stayed it for 30 days to give state Attorney General Rob Bonta time to appeal.

fewer assault weapons, not more.
Between covid and crazies with guns, I might never leave the house again.
Thanks for nothing, dumbass.

6. What a twisted mind - "good for both home and battle"
Brings up media (dog whistle) hyperbole as if the media is biased in over reporting on mass shootings the past years, while neglecting the opposite gun glorification bias by NRA and social media.

Are you F**kin' kidding me?
If that's the grounds for allowing a weapon, they why not have machine guns, mortars, and surface to surface missiles?
The right to bear arms doesn't mean any weapon you choose. It means you can have a gun. It's not an open-ended right.
The second amendment was written when the only guns were muzzle loaders for God's sake.
Lets have a bit of sanity here!
More ridiculousness at the link..
