Judge Rules California's Assault Weapons Act Is Unconstitutional
Story by Daniel Walker • 15h
 
This article was originally published on our sister site StateOfUnion.org and has been republished with permission.

A recent ruling by U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez in the case of Miller v. Bonta, has found California's Assault Weapons Control Act of 1989 to be a violation of the Second Amendment and therefore unconstitutional.

 
The decision has been praised by pro-second amendment groups but opposed by California State Attorney General Rob Bonta and Governor Gavin Newsom.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I hope Judge Benitez has good body guards. He's become quite a thorn in hoplophobes' collective side.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
