SAN DIEGO, CA (June 4, 2021) — Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced that Judge Roger T. Benitez of the Southern District of California has issued an opinion in Miller v. Bonta (previously Miller v. Becerra), holding that California’s tyrannical ban on so-called “assault weapons” is unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. The opinion, along with other filings in this case, can be viewed at AssaultWeaponLawsuit.com.
In 2019, FPC developed and filed Miller v. Becerra, a federal Second Amendment challenge to California’s Assault Weapons Control Act (AWCA) ban on common semiautomatic arms with certain characteristics, including those with ammunition magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds. Throughout the lawsuit, FPC argued that the State’s ban prohibits arms that are constitutionally protected, no more lethal than other certain arms that are not banned, and commonly possessed and used for lawful purposes in the vast majority of the United States.
In the opinion, the Court ruled that many categories of firearms California bans as so-called “assault weapons” are protected by the Second Amendment, and that “[t]he Second Amendment stands as a shield from government imposition of that policy.”

“In his order today, Judge Benitez held what millions of Americans already know to be true: Bans on so-called ‘assault weapons’ are unconstitutional and cannot stand,” said FPC President Brandon Combs. “This historic victory for individual liberty is just the beginning, and FPC will continue to aggressively challenge these laws throughout the United States. We look forward to continuing this challenge at the Ninth Circuit and, should it be necessary, the Supreme Court.”
Comment:
These arguments of the Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrat Commie left ignore the fact that the very rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution for armed citizens, are the very same sections that allow armed cops and soldiers.
How is communism associated with the decision? There's no mention of a communist takeover to justify the weapons.
For what would your average citizen use that weapon for "lawful purposes".?
The guns are to PREVENT a communist takeover.
Duh.
Well, I've used my guns for pest control, killing birds, coyotes, beaver, Antelope, deer, hog, Elk using everything in my collection from 12 gauge, .22 cal, 5.56mm, 6mm, 7.62x39 mm, 30-30 cal and 30.06 including self protection, but I've never shoot a Communist unless it was in Nam and in the bush.
Even then I was using an "Assault Shotgun" in 12 gauge double 00 Buck shot.... gifted to me by a Marine at the Siagon Embassy. But I never used a M-16.
Therefore should all 12 gauge shotguns be banned from civilian use since they were used in battle during WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan and now in Syria.
BFD. The Founders wrote the 2nd to deal with an illegitimate government. The Bill of Rights is 9 limitations on what government can do to the individual, and one final option.
The founders did note do that. At those times for everyone to have th e right to have a gun was basically the country had something to protect itself with.
There was never an intention for illegitimate governments. That favourite catch cry was invented by those who wanted to stock the armoury for ego reasons.
As a Republican, you would have been bellowing about Biden being illegitimate etc. Why haven't you done something about him? No courage of your convictions? You said you have a right under the 2nd to do it so do it. See how good your are against the American military, tough guy.
They also said Obama wasn't even American also. That would have made him illegitimate also but no one fire a shot. The lot of you are all piss and wind.
Well, here's what the Founders had to say about it:
"To disarm the people…s the most effectual way to enslave them.” – George Mason
“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops.” – Noah Webster
“Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of.” – James Madison, Federalist No. 46
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country.” – James Madison, I Annals of Congress 434
“…the ultimate authority, wherever the derivative may be found, resides in the people alone…” – James Madison, Federalist No. 46
“Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.” – William Pitt (the Younger), Speech in the House of Commons
“A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves…and include, according to the past and general usuage of the states, all men capable of bearing arms… “To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them.” – Richard Henry Lee, Federal Farmer No. 18
“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined…. The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun.” – Patrick Henry, Speech to the Virginia Ratifying Convention
So now, who should I believe about what the Founding Fathers did and didn't intend? The Founding Fathers themselves, or the anti-gun crying pantywaist on the Internet?
Quoting all those must really stir all your inner patriotism. Hand on heart stuff.
Prancing around like a dog with two dicks. It's a shame it didnt include it's those same guns are responsible for daily mass slaughter. But who cares about that? It's those tyrannical Democrat presidents we must suppress at any cost. Small kids are just collateral damage to maintain our freedom.
Stirring stuff indeed.
You should definitely hold your breath waiting for your opinion and approval - or your existence - to somehow, magically, matter to me THIS time, despite my unwillingness to waste urine in pissing on you if you were on fire.
I'm proud to be an American and the heir to those great men, and I'm even prouder that I'm doing the exact opposite of what evil, ignorant trash like you wants. The more you hate it, the more you try to tell me that I'm a bad person by your standards and don't have your approval, the more correct I know I am.
And the next time you want to cry and piss your frillies in terror because people who aren't craven, dickless lickspittles like you have guns, at least be honest enough to admit that it's because of your own pathetic cowardice, rather than trying to use children as human shields. Children are in absolutely no danger from me or any other legal gun owner in the United States, and I don't believe for a second that you know or care about their actual safety.
