More on the 2nd Amendment win in California.
Yes, California, There Is an Individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms
Posted by Ilya Shapiro
Well, today the Ninth Circuit (the federal appellate court covering most Western states) ruled that the Second Amendment restricts the power of state and local governments to interfere with individual right to have guns for personal use. That is, the Fourteenth Amendment “incorporates” the Second Amendment against the states, as the Supreme Court has found it to do for most of the Bill of Rights. I rarely get a chance to say this, but the Ninth Circuit gets it exactly right.

Amen, now California should scrap the idea of limiting ammunition sales to a box of 50 per individual. The high capacity magazine registration being proposed should also be scrapped. The assault weapons ban should also be lifted as a well regulated militia would be one with modern firearms. Semi automatic rifles are not assault rifles. Assault is a behavior not a weapon. There are plenty of laws regarding the illegal use of any weapon in the commission of a crime. More laws won't stop criminals from commiting crime.
