Ninth Circuit Panel Sends California “Assault Weapons” Ban Challenge Back to District Court, so the District Court can reconsider it in light of the Supreme Court’s new Bruen precedent. [More]
I don’t see where “self-defense” alone will cut it without a strong core purpose argument.
I do see this:
The firearms that the law in question prohibits are, in virtually every state of the Union, exactly the sorts of lawful weapons in common use that law abiding people possess at home for lawful purposes; and exactly what they would bring to service in militia duty should such cause be necessary.
Here’s the case history thus far.
If this goes to SCOTUS, and it probably will, we’ll see if any briefs expand on that, and then if the high court will hear it.
