Right now the military and the police (government mercenary agencies) have more powerful weapons than the people. Who are they going to obey if government orders them to kill people? Simply Google "police brutality" to see.
We need stronger assault weapons - full auto - to protect ourselves from the tyrants in government... or protect ourselves from criminals when government doesn't get there on time.
Federal Judge Overturns California's Ban On Assault Weapons
"Like the Swiss Army Knife, the popular AR-15 rifle is a perfect combination of home defense weapon and homeland defense equipment. Good for both home and battle, the AR-15 is the kind of versatile gun that lies at the intersection of the kinds of firearms protected under District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008) and the United States v Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939)," Benitez wrote.
"Yet, the State of California makes it a crime to have an AR15 type rifle," Benitez continued. "Therefore, this Court declares the California statutes to be unconstitutional."
On several pages of the ruling, the judge recommended the rifle should be protected under the Second Amendment for its "militia readiness."
"Government is not free to impose its own new policy choices on American citizens where constitutional rights are concerned," he added. "California may certainly conceive of a policy that a modern rifle is dangerous in the hands of a criminal, and that therefore it is good public policy to keep modern rifles out of the hands of every citizen. The Second Amendment stands as a shield from government imposition of that policy."
The office of Attorney General Rob Bonta released a statement after the ruling said it would immediately appeal the decision.
