Second Amendment Win: California’s ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban Has Been Thrown Out

1 hr ago

Second Amendment supporters may want to remember the saying, "As California Goes, so Goes the Nation," after a federal judge overturned the Golden State's three-decade-old ban on so-called "assault weapons" on Thursday. U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez, of San Diego, found no equivalent in early American history and ruled that the ban was therefore unconstitutional.

The judge further ruled that the semiautomatic rifle – known in the industry as "modern sporting rifles" – such as the AR-15 are common household items used for self-defense by millions of law-abiding citizens, who should not have their Second Amendment rights abridged by a state – even as the firearms have been misused by others in crimes including mass shootings.
