Just last year the Supreme Court ruled that states cannot take away people’s right to carry a concealed weapon. Now a CA court of appeals is saying that the Supreme Court ruling will not overrule the state’s assault weapons ban.
Last year, the Supreme Court ruled that states cant take away a persons right to carry a concealed weapon. And now a California court says that the Supreme Court ruling will not overrule our states ban on assault weapons. But the big question remaining was does that apply to every kind of firearm or weapon?A state appeals court has ruled that the ban on assault weapons like the AR-15 will remain in place. The ban has been in place since 1989.
"But the big question remaining was, does that apply to every kind of firearm or weapon? The California court has said, no it doesn’t. Our AR-15 ban still stands," said Steven Clark, a Legal Analyst. "You will see cases that spring up all over the United States on issues that still limit the absolute right to possess a firearm under any circumstances and any type of weapon like you see here with the AR-15," Clark said.
"For protection, for self-protection. Just on the 1st of this month, I own a shop in San Lorenzo. I had an attempted robbery when a bunch of guys drove their car into my shop. They came out with guns, you know," Jamal said.
