A U.S. District Court judge yesterday in California ruled that the state's 32-year-old assault weapon's ban was unconstitutional, calling the 1989 ban "a failed experiment" that violates people's constitutional right to bear arms.
Judge Roger Benitez of San Diego, a staunch gun advocate and a GOP activist judge, claimed that "like the Swiss Army knife, the popular AR-15 rifle is a perfect combination of home defense and homeland defense equipment. Good for both home and battle."
That is NONSENSE.
What happened to the right's bullshit arguments about state's rights? They claim state's rights when it comes to writing new abortion law. They claim state's rights when it comes to writing election law. They claim state's right when it comes to writing transgender law, but here California wrote a law that helped save lives, and this George W. Bush-appointed hack, no longer is a proponent of state's rights. SURPRISE, SURPRISE!
This is just another prime example of how the GOP and the right in this country is completely full of crap.
Benitez, who is clearly a card-carrying member of the NRA, went on with his braindead argument. "This case is not about extraordinary weapons lying on the outer limits of Second Amendment protection. The banned 'assault weapons' are not bazookas, howitzers or machine guns. Those arms are dangerous and solely useful for military purposes. Instead, the firearms deemed 'assault weapons' are fairly ordinary, popular, modern."
This is also an insane argument. If you ask any doctor, AR-15's are designed to kill people in mass, and they destroy people's bodies and that's why many victims of mass shootings can not be saved.
I have had thousands of arguments with gun advocates, and they claim that laws will not save anyone, but they have no answers to help save the lives that are needlessly taken every year in this country before their time so that some moron who wants to play G.I. Joe on the weekends, needs to have these weapons of mass murder.
NO gun that has ever been manufactured in this country has been sold out the back door of the factory illegally, and no federally-licensed dealer sells guns illegally to criminals because they risk losing their licenses and livelihoods. So where are these guns being sold to criminals? They are being sold to criminals at gun shows, and then being sold to criminals.
Any person who sets up at a gun show and is not a federally licensed dealer, does not have to abide by federal background checks.
In fact, Texas this year is moving a law that would no longer require gun owners to get a license, would no longer require a background check and no longer require safety classes. That sounds incredibly sensible (SARCASM)!
This is why every election is so important. You can't simply vote when there are dopes on the ballot like Donald Trump. Assume every member of the GOP is a culture-war idiot like Trump. They are extremely dangerous, and with your vote you must insure that they can never appoint these hack Federalist Society justices to the Federal Courts around the country.
