In a truly shocking turn of events, a federal judge in California has ruled that the state’s decades-old assault weapon ban is unconstitutional in what amounts to a massive victory for the second amendment.
As Fox News reports:
“Under no level of heightened scrutiny can the law survive,” U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez said before issuing a permanent injunction that takes effect in 30 days.
Benitez argued the state’s definition of illegal military-style rifles bans firearms allowed in other states, depriving California gun owners of their rights.
He compared the AR-15 rifle to a Swiss Army knife, saying it’s “a perfect combination of home defense weapon and homeland defense equipment. Good for both home and battle.”
The lawsuit filed by the San Diego County Gun Owners Political Action Committee, California Gun Rights Foundation, Second Amendment Foundation and Firearms Policy Coalition is among several by gun advocacy groups challenging California’s firearms laws, which are among the strictest in the nation.
California liberals were enraged by the ruling, as it effectively undid decades of their anti-gun activism:
Overturning CA’s assault weapon ban and comparing an AR-15 to a SWISS ARMY KNIFE is a disgusting slap in the face to those who have lost loved ones to gun violence.
This is a direct threat to public safety and innocent Californians. We won’t stand for it. https://t.co/feL5BABTXa
— Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) June 5, 2021
The state has vowed to appeal the ruling to a higher court.
Assault rifle: There is no definition! Therefore, any politician can make any definition they want, put it on legislation restricting the Second Amendment, and justify it with ‘assault rifle’ An ‘assault rifle’ in 1776 was a muzzle loader! This is a smoke word to deny the use of ANY gun by Citizens of the USA!
AR-15 (“Assault Rifle”) is really the brand name, not ‘assault rifle’.
ArmaLite Rifle ! is what the AR stands for in AR-15
Hopefully the Covid shot will kill most of the Dems. The rest we will have to waste ammo on.
And hopefully globalist, planned parenthood criminal agency will kill all the libby snow flake mothers and their babies .
Hmm. Let’s see. My Crystal Ball has an instruction sheet, so I’ll be guided through the proper procedures to gaze into the infinite future. There we go! It’s percolating, and a mystic swirl of opaque vapor has appeared as advertised. Eeny-weenie-chili-beanie, the infinite spirits have awakened! What’s this I see? Five hundred news reporters have been assembled at a California neighborhood establishment. What are they saying? Some dude walked into a Neonatal Clinic brandishing an automatic weapon, and he emptied the clip into a crowd of successful-but-temporarily-inconvenienced-women who were impregnated by stinking, horny men who have no regard for the virtue of these competent, successful women, imposing their unhinged desires upon helpless females to satisfy their fleeting lust. 4000 women were killed (One woman lost 18 grandmothers in the Holocaust, in addition to 25 BFFs!) along with 20,000 unborn women (And a couple of guy babies..no big deal..) in the most tragic Gun Law Justifying Massacre in the history of Gun Law Justifying Massacres!!!! The reporters have revealed that this dude voted for Trump, and he drives a pickup with a Confederate flag mounted on the roof.
Oops, the warranty on my crystal ball just expired, along with the product. Back to Kmart!
Another idiot who thinks the gu pulled its own trigger!

This site censored my comment…stupid algorithms and editors can’t be fixed unless by lawsuit…
Tens of thousands of Americans die in vehicles each year. Drug addictions are dropping like flies from overdoses. Thousands more die from diseases, cancer being one of many. It just seems amazing to me that all of these deadly activities are not the focus of our sainted liberals, who are vitally concerned about saving people from getting killed (Except unborn people…) with guns, which is a diminutive number compared to those I’ve mentioned. Also, since were about to witness the end of the earth as we know it, which is their prediction of a climate catastrophe, it seems rather futile to disarm Americans and repeal our Bill of Rights when we should be enjoying our final fleeting years.
Not humorous and clearly an anti-constitutional, draft dodging pitiful ass.
And you imagined globalist media was going to tell you the truth for the first time in the history of globalist media . . . . .
It can’t happen in California. Their gun laws are too strict. And everywhere else in the US, legal possession of an automatic weapon requires a stringent background check and a hefty annual license fee.
Pack and leave. California doesn’t need your tax dollars. Make the entire state a death valley with zero economy.
Hell yes it’s unconstitutional. But commiecrats want to have the constitution interpreted so that the government can do what they damned well please
Gavin the Godless says “We won’t stand for it!”
Great! Now what are you going to do about it? Secede? If that’s what you want to do then please go right ahead. We’ll make you a deal. If there are any real conservatives in Calimexifornia the land of fruits,nuts and flakes we”ll take them and in exchange you can have all of our liberals. What do you think about it Gavin? Sounds like a win-win situation to me. You get rid of conservatives that you hate and despise and we get rid of a bunch of unmitigated Communist hypocrite liberals. Let’s go for it!
Good for you Judge!!
I read that the law of the land, ie The Constitution, you can’t write a law that supersede The Constitution. When are law makers going to learn.
Will someone just build a rainbow AR 🌈 for Newsom so he will be okay with it.
They mean a direct threat to their liberal agenda. Finally a court with the cajones to make a decent ruling. Let’s hope the Supreme Court hasn’t lost theirs.
This Gavin Newsom character really thinks he rules the world. What the hell are he and Cuomo, amongst others, still doing in power? This is an outrage !!
He’s related to Piglosi….Need I say more?
Newsom’s comment proves without a doubt that he is as dumb as a rock. Guns don’t kill people; People kill people. He still doesn’t get it. RECALL this p.o.s.
Gavin Newsome is the only treat to the public safety.. that is why he is being RECALLED
threat….
Lets follow Tennessee and South Dakota and Texas gun rules. Carry and concealed carry OK
And Alaska
Good luck with your appeal!
I vote Cali has their own country. Bye Felicia
One must remember that people kill people, a gun is just an easy way to do it. Look at Chicago, no guns but crime is up The bad guys are going to get guns and doing the same thing they are doing now. We need these kinds of resources to protect our family and property.
Believe me….there are plenty of guns in Shitcago……
It’s not the type of gun that kills people its the type of person and the ar 15 is a single shot weapon for citizens California should have access to anything the whole of the United States has California isn’t a special place no more special then the rest of us so get a grip liberals a person with a shotgun could do just as much damage or more and once again AR stands for armalite not assault weapon the general public does not have access to fully auto magic weapons think before you speak do your homework on weapons
The gun isn’t the problem the globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep behind the illegal gun is the problem .
Suck it Cali……! Go to your safe space now……..Don’t forget your blankie……..
Guns don’t kill people. People kill people. And anyone who kills people in offense have mental illness issues. Let’s address gun violence by addressing mental illness. Annual checkups for physical well being and mental illness health should be addressed by every pediatrician so new decades of grownups are addressing the physical and mental health hence less mental illness then less gun violence. Adult mental illness, bullied children in schools all lead to gun violence. All relate back to one thing!
globalist, planned parenthood criminal organisation tries to take care of those globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep with mental illness issues .
It doesn’t matter what any federal judge says. The Bolsheviks will continue to enforce these unconstitutional laws without respite.
globalist puppet, democrat criminal party police will ensure that their globalist puppet, democrat criminal party are free to continue to violate the constitution and the laws .
globalist puppet newsom is a disgusting slap in the face to those who have lost loved one to knive violence .
No, Newsom. What’s disgusting is you and most other politicians on both sides of the aisle thumbing your noses at the Constitution you swore an oath to uphold.
globalist puppet, democrat criminal party and globalist puppet, rino criminal party .
Finally we have a judge that understands the second amendment, and calls it like it is. There isn’t such a thing as a assault rifle, if were talking about the AR15, it is just like any other gun, with just a bigger magazine. Call it what it is, AR15 is a Armalite Rifle. A win for all gun owners, that don’t have a clue what there talking about,just blowing smoke, and bs.
The judge’s ruling on the assault rifle ban is proper. His comparison to a Swiss Army Knife is downright silly, and weakens his argument.
If crimminals were off the streets, there would be no problems.
The cops have given-up on Commiefornia, it’s back to the days of the wild, wild West…anyways, the criminals are better-armed, these days?
Finally a federal judge applying the law instead of using political calculations is refreshing.
I am creating an honest wage from home 1900 Dollars/week , that is wonderful, below a year gone i used to be unemployed during an atrocious economy. I convey God on a daily basis. I used to be endowed with these directions and currently it’s my duty to pay it forward and share it with everybody,
Here is where I started……….► Works43.Com
You libby snow flake males decided to charge your husband’s boyfriends to swallow them instead of swallowing them for free . Just like globalist moderators . . . . .
It doesn’t seem to dawn on these judges that these gun laws shouldn’t even reach their bench. When they do, the judge should bring whomever foisted an Unconstitutional Bill upon them for their approval up on charges. Americans can take these people to task on the merits that our Constitutional Rights are being infringed. I don’t believe that many Americans are stupid, or cowardly. Perhaps they’ve been brainwashed.
It’s about time someone gave Californians back their rights. Prepare for some mass shootings created by the left
The evil and stupidity of Gavin Newsom is without bounds. First: by FAR the major threat to the people of California is Newsom and the Democrat Party. Second: an assault rifle must be able to fire full automatic. The AR-15 cannot do that (stupid Democrats)! Actually, a true assault rifle (like the M-16) would be good for people to have, since it allows a large amount of fire-power when it is needed – like when government agents try to take you and your family off to a concentration camp. And there are MANY Democrats who would love to do that with Trump supporters. EVIL, thy name is Democrat!
That would take the cake! Agreeing to hear this case that has been off the priority list forever, but declining to hear even one case involving the many improprieties committed in numerous “swing States” during the 2020 General Election!
I would care less if I read in the paper that Governor Newsome got run over by by a drunk/drugged driver like roadkill. The damage he caused to California is incredible. Seems like the moving or truck rental businesses are the best ones to be in out there… The 2nd Amendment AS WRITTEN is the law…
Absolutely amazing that a California judge would rule this way. There is some hope left after all!

The best California businesses these days are moving and truck rental. Pack and leave at once! The 2nd Amendment is the law as written. The judge was correct. I would care less if I read in the paper Gov. Newsome got run over by some drunk/drugged driver….
This site censors comments. The best California businesses to be in are moving and truck rental. Pack and leave at once to preserve your rights. The Supreme Court just ordered the governor to pay legal expenses for churches. This ruling needs to extend to the rest of the Bill of Rights. As for the governor, I would care less if I read in the paper he was involved in some accident…
The vast majority of killings are done with a hand gun, not the dreaded ‘assault rifle’.
If someone is viciously attacked and killed with a baseball bat, is it not an ‘assault’ weapon,
and do we then ban bats? It is estimated that there are over 100 million firearms in the
hands of law-abiding private citizens. Why is there not many, many more killings if guns
are the problem and not criminals. Bladed weapons kill more people than the AR-15, but there is no ban on steak knives, or Swiss Army pocket knives. Banning the AR-15 is only
step one. King George discovered what people will do to protect liberty. Without weapons,
we are sheep easily led to slaughter.
The judge’s ruling will be appealed to the 9th District Court and duly overturned as per their leftwing mandate. However, there’s a chance that it will proceed to SCOTUS and be finally decided for 2nd Amendment adherents.
Wonderful news! It’s about time our Bill of Rights are being restored.
Newsom is an ass
