In a no-holds-barred rebuke of the federal judge who recently overturned California’s assault weapons ban, Gov. Gavin Newsom lambasted U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez on Thursday as a “wholly-owned subsidiary of the gun lobby and the National Rifle Association.” “We need to call this federal judge out,” the Democratic governor told reporters as he announced the state’s decision to appeal Benitez’s ruling. “He will continue to do damage. Mark my words.” Benitez struck down California’s three-decade-old ban on certain types of semi-automatic rifles, including the popular AR-15, last week. Gun control advocates skewered Benitez for the decision, while Newsom called it “a direct threat to public safety and the lives of innocent Californians, period.”
