A U.S. District Judge in San Diego who has issued rulings in two separate lawsuits challenging California’s strict gun control measures will take up another weapons-related case on Monday, sparking criticism from gun-control groups who pro-gun advocates have been given an unfair advantage.

Judge Roger Benitez has twice ruled in favor of gun rights: in a case that challenged California’s ban of high-capacity magazines, and another case mandating background checks for buying ammunition, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

On Monday, he will oversee a case challenging several state laws regulating and defining assault weapons. He is overseeing another case challenging the state’s prohibition on owning batons, billy clubs, and blackjacks.

Repeal the Lautenberg Amendment.

For those that think "red flag laws" would be "sensible gun control", the Lautenberg Amendment should be a case study of how they will be used. I can't tell you how many careers I've seen ruined by accusations that were either unsubstantiated, false, or not at all violent. All without due legal process. Now consider that all conservatives are slowly being lumped into categories that are considered undesirable or illegal.

Well that is just pathetic.
Laws against sticks.
How does that pass 2nd Amendment muster?
Is there some way to expel coastal California from the union?
