US District Court Judge Strikes Down California’s Gun Ban

Federal court rules that ban on certain types of semi-automatic rifles over other rifles is akin to banning some books because there are other books to read.

A federal court judge has ruled that California’s ban on certain types of semi-automatic rifles, so-called “assault weapons,” is an unconstitutional violation of the Second Amendment.

Gun rights groups celebrate the ruling in Miller v. Bonta, even though they acknowledge that the fight is not over.
