Federal Appeals Court Puts Judge's Ruling Overturning California's Assault Weapons Ban On Hold

The overturn of the assault weapon ban in California has been put on hold. For now.

It will have to make it's way to the supreme court before we know the outcome of the case.

So how has California’s “assault weapons ban” worked out for them the last 30 years? California is a crime ridden shit hole. Gang bangers kill each other in droves, cartel crime, mugging and armed robbery, they have one of the highest violence rates in the country.

Democrats are obsessed with disarming white people who don’t commit crimes, while releasing hardened minority criminals who commit crimes with guns all the time. The vast majority of the thug crimes are done with handguns, not assault rifles. But Democrats are obsessed with allowing their inner cities to turn into shit holes...and to remain that way.

Or not.

The 9th Circuit’s ruling is consistent with other circuit courts of appeal in upholding a state’s AWB.

The Supreme Court is not likely to grant cert to a case where all the lower courts are in agreement, satisfied to allow Second Amendment jurisprudence to continue to evolve at the state level, and respecting states’ rights to allow the states to determine what firearm regulatory measures are appropriate and what are not, consistent with conservative judicial dogma.

And the vast majority of home defense when done with a firearm, is with a handgun, not assault rifles. DC v Heller

AR 15s make for dreadful home/self-defense weapons – you’ll end up killing both the intruder and your neighbor in the apartment next door.

“This current case will likely go to the Supreme Court, which currently has a conservative supermajority.” ibid

And with such a ‘supermajority’ the Court should either not grant cert or rule in favor of California.

Certainly, as conservatives, the majority will rule in a manner consistent with conservative states’ rights political and judicial dogma.

No true conservative would approve of tyrants in black robes legislating from the bench contrary to the will of the people of California.

Conservatives are infamous for their hypocrisy; conservatives are infamous for being inconsistent.

Fortunately we're all not like you, Clay, living 15 to a family packed into tiny row houses and apartments where there is actually a small chance that when you shoot an intruder in the chest to save your life, he will actually be lined up at that exact moment with another human being through paper thin walls.
 
The US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has blocked a federal judge's controversial ruling that overturned California's longtime ban on assault weapons, in which he likened the AR-15 to a Swiss Army knife.

In an order Monday, a three-judge panel on the federal appeals court issued a stay of US District Judge Roger Benitez's order earlier this month that overturned California's three-decade old assault weapons ban.

The state's current assault weapons laws will remain in effect while further proceedings continue, California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a statement on Twitter.

Gee, I hope they get this resolved in a few weeks. Guns, we are guaranteed them in our Constitution. But national elections, we only get a few weeks to sort out all their intricacies! Seems to me that if a national election has no more than a few weeks to sort everything out then the courts ought to be expected to work as fast on everything else as well.

Not surprising because other appellate courts which have heard state AWBs have likewise ruled to uphold the measures.
