California under-21 gun sales ban ruled unconstitutional by US appeals court

A U.S. appeals court on Wednesday ruled that California's ban on the sale of semiautomatic weapons to adults under 21 is unconstitutional, a move gun-rights advocates hope will pave the way for similar rulings in other courts.

At least they got this one right.

The bottom line is that it makes no difference. California lost ONE case so what. California enacts at least six new more restrictive firearm laws each year. The noose just gets tighter and tighter. San Francisco no longer has any gun stores. The one and only Beverly Hills store is closing and not from lack of sales. It is an incremental strategy and it is working. How do you eat an elephant? Answer: One bite at a time.

The PX at Fort Lewis restricts all gun/ammo purchases to 21 yo+.

They only got it half right.

They had sought to block the state from requiring a hunting license for purchases of rifles or shotguns by adults under 21 who are not in the military or law enforcement.

The court ruled the hunting license requirement was reasonable for increasing public safety through "sensible firearm control."

It's the 9th Circuit, after all. So those under 21 still have to have a hunting license to buy a rifle or shotgun. Cuz, you know...the 2nd Amendment is all about hunting.

NOT SO FAST...
Next step is THE ENTIRE 9th CIRCIUT will review the three-judge panel verdict and rule in favor of the State of California, as usual.
There are still only 2 pro-gun, pro-Constitution judges on the 9th Circuit.

Holding: The en banc court reversed the district court’s summary judgment and remanded for entry of judgment in favor of Defendant Rob Bonta, Attorney General for the State of California, in an action raising a facial challenge to California Penal Code section 32310, which prohibits, with certain exceptions, possession of large-capacity magazines, defined as those that can hold more than ten rounds of ammunition.
