Twenty-two Republican-led states have filed a court brief in support of a decision that struck down California’s “assault weapons” ban last month as the state appeals to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The 22 states, led by Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, said in a June 15 filing (pdf) that the 9th Circuit should uphold a lower court decision to strike down a ban on what California describes as illegal military-style rifles. Earlier this month, a federal judge issued an injunction and gave the state 30 days to file an appeal.
