After federal judge Benitez eloquently spoke against CA's ban on larger than 10 round capacity magazines and ruled the ban unconstitutional with judgement, our push back on the anti-gun/2A law makers continues with a new lawsuit against CA Assault Weapon ban - https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-08-15/california-assault-weapons-lawsuit
And the fate and destiny of this lawsuit? It may likely be heard by the same pro-gun/2A judge Benitez!

And the fate and destiny of this lawsuit? It may likely be heard by the same pro-gun/2A judge Benitez!
- John Dillon of Gatzke Dillon & Ballance LLP and San Diego County Gun Owners Political Action Committee sued on Thursday, 8/15/19 to block California from enforcing its assault weapons ban, that it violates the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms
- The lawsuit was filed in the same San Diego federal district court where judge Benitez in April tossed out a nearly two-decade-old California ban on sales and purchases of larger than 10 round capacity magazines
- The new lawsuit claims decision by federal judge Benitez undermines 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 ("Freedom Week") before he stopped sales while the state appeals his ruling.
- In July, CRPA, CA chapter of NRA asked the same judge to block a new law requiring background checks for anyone buying ammunition.
- The latest lawsuit could go before the same judge. (Fate and destiny!!! In your face CA! )
- Lawsuit was filed on behalf of three San Diego County men who own legal rifles or pistols and want to use high-capacity magazines in them but can’t because doing so would turn them into illegal assault weapons under California statutes and they could be confiscated. Another plaintiff is the San Diego County Gun Owners Political Action Committee.
- The lawsuit claimed the term assault weapon is “a politically-concocted pejorative term” for weapons lawfully used “in virtually every state” and argued that California is barring law-abiding citizens from getting, making or transferring “firearms in common use for lawful purposes such as self-defense inside and outside the home, competition, sport, and hunting.”
- Lawsuit asks the court to declare California’s definition of an assault weapon unconstitutional and issue an order permanently barring enforcement of laws barring them on grounds of their ammunition magazine capacity.
