Lawsuit challenges California's assault weapons ban

The lawsuit was the latest among gun advocacy and lobbying groups to challenge California's firearms laws, which are among the strictest in the country, and comes after a recent series of deadly mass shootings nationwide involving military-style rifles.

The new lawsuit says that decision by U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez undercuts California's ban on certain weapons defined as “assault weapons” because they can use large-capacity magazines. Benitez's decision triggered a weeklong buying frenzy before he stopped sales while the state appeals his ruling.

It names state Attorney General Xavier Becerra and the head of the state Department of Justice firearms bureau.

why would anyone stand against the ban given the current violences we seen in the states... arms belong to military. u like guns, buy a poster.

Wonderful news.
