CA judge rules semi-auto rifles not protected under 2nd Amendment: A federal judge in California ruled last week that banning semi-automatic rifles is not a violation of the right to bear arms as afforded by the Second Amendment.
U.S. District Judge Josephine Staton of Santa Ana, Calif. ruled on July 22 to uphold the current state law banning the ownership, manufacture, or sale of “semiautomatic rifles and the bullet buttons that alter a conventional rifle into a rapid-fire weapon,” the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Staton called the rifles “incredibly effective killing machines” that are not needed for self-defense, countering what the California Rifle & Pistol Association asserted in their lawsuit.
