BREAKING: Judge Roger Benitez Declares California’s ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban Unconstitu

[m4hk33]

Wow! This will be interesting to see how long this stays.

I just read the opinion and while it brutally puts down the Ca's ridiculous ban on common weapons, I feel that ultimately this will be nothing more than a judicial review version of a Trey Gowdy talking point. It may feel good, but we really know that that nothing is going to come out of this as we have basically the same ruling from the same judge, being sent to the 3 judge panel, to be affirmed, only to be rejected by the En Banc panel because the 2nd does not apply to individuals or something ridiculous like that because they know that the SCOTUS will mostly like punt this for that weeks trans rights case.

The points laid out by Benetez literally cant be refuted, The state states these items are super dangerous, but yet not as dangerous as fist or knives in the State.

Based.

It's one of the reasons why I dropped my NRA membership and signed up with FPC instead. They're getting shit done, and they're not taking the fudd route of acting like hunting rights are their main concern.

This. I don’t care about hunting as much as I do potentially having to gun down domestic enemies in a self defense situation in Doom 64 multiplayer.

There’s a pay it forward thread around here somewhere. If anyone has “weapon” components that they already plan on giving away to hook a brutha up, that would be good direction to send it, if this thing goes that way.

As you know, Colorado is a lot like New Mexico - lots of wide open country and rural people who do what they want. You go to the San Luis Valley and Alamosa, or even in La Plata and Montezuma Counties outside of Durango and Cortez, and you will still see Trump signs on the fences. Nobody complies with anything out in rural New Mexico, and I get the feeling in rural Colorado as well.

If you're ever in this part of the State on I-25 hang a left at Wagon Mound and head east on NM 120. I'm past the Canadian River a piece, then 16 miles off of pavement. Otherwise we could meet in Las Vegas, where the wife works.

I halfway think that’s why they’re doing this local preemption law. If they went for a state wide ban they know that it would not be enforced in a large part of the state. The mag band they put in place is a joke. The local laws will be a joke to, for the punchline is you go to jail forever if you get caught.

My son starts ground school this summer for his private pilots license. Will probably need some mid length strips once he gets his license. Will have to stop on by sometime.

Basic summary...

1. CA assault weapons laws were ruled to be unconstitutional.

2. A 30 day stay was issued with the ruling.

During that 30 day window, CA DOJ can appeal the ruling to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

If CA DOJ does appeal, then the stay remains in place until the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals makes a ruling, which can take 2-5 years.

If CA DOJ does not appeal, then after the 30 day stay is up, CA assault weapons laws will no longer be legal.
^This is when it will be legal to no longer abide by CA assault weapons laws.
~The 30 day window ends on July 4.

This judge also put in a magazine injunction and ruling, how did that all shake out? What was the timeframe on that one? If I remember it went to a three judge panel and then en Blanc. It’s either another brick in the wall or a brick out of the wall depending on how you want to use the model. This kind of stuff encourages me more than the passing of state laws like Texas constitutional carry. We need to sanctify magazine fed semi automatic firearms and 30 round magazines through a clear and concise Scotus decision.

Trying to fix societal problems through legislation controlling physical things like plastic boxes has never worked. Especially when they are aimed at lol biting people.

Lol biting people are scary though Will. Running around laughing loudly and biting people, that's just naughty.

I like the ruling in principle, but like you said it's a small first step. We will see if it goes anywhere. Kudos to those fighting the good fight. I'm a SAF donor. I'll make a point to send them a little more money thanks to this reminder of their advocacy.

If you don't donate outside of the Pepe LePew pocket money fund (NRA), I encourage you to think about it. SAF and the other groups actually do stuff with your money. The NRA seems to have become nothing but a slush fund for Pepe and friends to spend on drugs and hookers.

If I had Bill Gates money I would be handing out LMT rifles and whiskey from an ice cream truck while blasting “Where the hood at?

If I had Gates Money I'd open an ammo plant. They're just wallhangers and paperweights if you can't get anything to put through 'em, after all...

Yeah people who care about the earth and charity are lame. I would also get the surviving original Van Halen to publicly beat up Sammy Hagar then play the entirety of 1984 on my Yacht.

1984? Bah! Begone heretic! I'd clone Eddie from DNA and remove 1984 and up from his memory.
