A state appeals court has ruled that the ban on assault weapons like the AR-15 will remain in place. The ban has been in place since 1989. The ruling was filed late last week and is the first decision made since the U.S. Supreme Court limited California’s ability to regulate firearms.
Just last year the Supreme Court ruled that states cannot take away people’s right to carry a concealed weapon. Now a CA court of appeal is saying that the Supreme Court ruling will not overrule the state’s assault weapons ban.
"But the big question remaining was, does that apply to every kind of firearm or weapon? The California court has said, no it doesn’t. Our AR-15 ban still stands," said Steven Clark, a Legal Analyst.
