On Monday, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld California’s radical “assault weapons” ban, dealing a blow to the Second Amendment in the state of California.’
Fox News reports:
“The district court’s June 4, 2021 order and judgment are stayed pending resolution of Rupp v. Bonta,” the court said. “The stay shall remain in effect until further order of this court.”
The Rupp case, which also deals with the assault weapons ban and has already been briefed before the Ninth Circuit, had also been put on hold as the court handles other Second Amendment cases that could [a]ffect it.
Benitez’s district court order had ruled the assault weapons ban to be unconstitutional, stating that people had a right to possess modern weapons. Benitez likened the AR-15 rifle to a Swiss Army Knife as being “a perfect combination of home defense weapon and homeland defense equipment,” in contrast to militaristic, “extraordinary” weapons like bazookas and machineguns.
“Under no level of heightened scrutiny can the law survive,” Benitez said.
This is just the latest ruling against the Second Amendment in regard to California, which is one of the most hostile states in regard to gun ownership.
Ok. Let’s see what the scotus does about it. Maybe nothing but it’s worth a shot. No pun intended
The coward SCOTUS group will fail the 2nd Amendment.
The “Ninny-Ninth” is well known for having their rulings reversed. In this case, we’ve been given ample reasons to start emphasizing our Bill of Rights.
