California 'assault weapons' ban repeal should stay, 22 states urge Ninth Circuit
Fox News
FIRST ON FOX: A coalition of 22 states on Wednesday announced it has filed a court brief in support of a decision that struck down California’s ban on "assault weapons" – which the liberal state has now appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court.
California first restricted such weapons in 1989 and updated the law multiple times, defining the nebulous term "assault weapon" in such a way that the judge said there were 185,569 assault weapons in California alone. The Republican states argued in the amicus brief that the law strikes at the Second Amendment by targeting guns that are used "by millions of law-abiding citizens for a myriad of lawful purposes."More Related News
