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 unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • 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.
I am not and never have been a leftist.

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"?

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

Any other news sites chiming in on this, something other than MSM leftist with better insight? Yeah, I tried finding something about this on Youtube and came up empty.

Well, it will go to the 9th Circuit next.

Probably get reversed by the initial 3-judge panel.

Then... go for an en banc hearing.

Results... uncertain at this time (although the 9th has been putting out some surprising opinions lately).

Then, possibly to the High Court.
