LOS ANGELES (AP) — A U.S. appeals court ruled Wednesday that California’s ban on the sale of semiautomatic weapons to adults under 21 is unconstitutional.

In a 2-1 ruling, a panel of the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Wednesday the law violates the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms and a San Diego judge should have blocked what it called “an almost total ban on semiautomatic centerfire rifles” for young adults. “America would not exist without the heroism of the young adults who fought and died in our revolutionary army," Judge Ryan Nelson wrote. "Today we reaffirm that our Constitution still protects the right that enabled their sacrifice: the right of young adults to keep and bear arms.”

1. Just give up trying to regulate guns.

It’s a lost cause.

Let the guns flow like water and the streets run with blood.

That’s what the country clearly wants and deserves.

I’m sure they studied the laws and made a knowledgable decision. Although I don’t like it.

10. This panel had two Trump appointees who voted for the decision and one non Trump appointee who

didn't.

15. Hopefully they don't take the case

Especially since it’s so late in their schedule they may already have all the cases. June 30th is the end of term.

12. Beat me to it - Yup. Two judges appointed by Trump were the majority

2. I jus wish the courts would allow the English language grammar prevail.

The 2nd Amendment does not say what the RW alleges it says. The context appear to be irrelevant and so does grammar.

3. This country seriously has a problem.

4. 2A has no age restrictions, no restrictions of ppl with mental health issues either nt

5. Ah, yes, because, as we all know,

In that nearly 250-years-ago war, the teenage soldiers were all packing semiautomatic rifles

6. They were

Didn't you know they kept the semi-auto guns in the cockpit next to them when they flew? They often landed in hostile territory and had to be armed to repel the Redcoats.

about the heroic defense of Boston International Airport against Churchill’s Unterseeboot battalion?
