A federal judge yesterday overturned California's three-decade-old ban on assault weapons, ruling it violates the constitutional right to bear arms, the USA Today website reports today (June 5, 2021).
U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez of San Diego ruled that the state's definition of illegal military style rifles unlawfully deprives Californians of weapons commonly allowed in most other states.
He issued a permanent injunction against enforcement of the law, but stayed it for 30 days to give the state time to appeal.
