“ Appeals Court Blocks Ruling That Overturned California’s Assault Weapons Ban “ - btfc - 06-22-2021
“ A U.S. federal appeals court on Monday put on hold a judge’s ruling this month to overturn California’s 32-year-old ban on assault weapons.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a stay of U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez’s June 4 order, after California officials had appealed the federal judge’s decision to strike down the ban on assault-style weapons. “

Straight to the Supreme Court...

Another very eloquent and well reasoned ruling from Judge Benitez. Quite the refreshing change, to put it mildly.
And if this gets upheld by the Supreme Court, it becomes a done deal, and all other bans will start to fall like dominos.
Be VERY careful what you wish for.

Expected, just like its routing to the Supremes. All planned out. Benitez is a d-ouche tool …

I do not think those words mean what you think they mean.

Benitez is the epitome of an activist judge, exactly the sort of judge the hard right rails about unless, of course, it's one of their own.

As I said before, I expect this gun-nutty decicion to be overturned on appeal.

Benitez and the 9th Circuit have always been at odds, this is a way for him to perhaps get the issue on the SCOTUS docket.

Nice to see you back, Racer X, despite nothing at all being defensible in the judge’s 94-pages of the attempt. That it was dispatched in one page helps illustrate that.

Your unstated fear, not ours.
I see a similar argument often used to knock down ideas about voting rights and other things as if too good to be true.
So no, I reject the premise that doing away with the ban was somehow a better thing. Let SCOTUS hear this argument if they want. It’s both comedic and tragic and altogether unserious.
