Four days ago, a federal judge officially struck down California’s gun ban—a major development in the ongoing battle over the Second Amendment. The U.S. federal court ruled that California’s ban on certain types of semi-automatic rifles over other rifles is the same as banning some books because there are other books available to read.
As such, the court found that California’s ban on certain types of semi-automatic rifles (what some refer to as “assault weapons”) is unconstitutional in light of the Second Amendment. The details of this particular case reveal the underlying battle that’s being waged right now in courtrooms across the country—wherein American citizens are using a U.S. Supreme Court decision that came down just last year to try and claw back the gun rights that have been stripped away from us over the past 100 years.
