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 United States v Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939). Yet, the State of California makes it a crime to have an AR- 15 type rifle. Therefore, this Court declares the California statutes to be unconstitutional. Plaintiffs challenge a net of interlocking statutes which impose strict criminal restrictions on firearms that fall under California’s complex definition of the ignominious “assault weapon.” Hearings on a preliminary injunction were consolidated with a trial on the merits pursuant to F.R.C.P. Rule 65(a)(2). Having considered the evidence, the Court issues these findings of fact and conclusions of law,1 finds for the Plaintiffs, and enters Judgment accordingly.

Fudds are still very much a thing.
Don’t be surprised if the 9th agrees.
I'm hopeful.
Bingo.
Trump flipped the 9th Circuit:

This is on the district level. Appeals out the wazoo to follow in 3...2...1...
Dammitall! I’ve been busily converting all my ARs to 6.5 Grendel (try finding those barrels!) and ammo was just now becoming available again at ‘somewhat’ reasonable prices.
I reckon I’ll need to rethink that 6mm ARC I was wanting...
That is a bizarre article by Zumba. Thanks.
G3 .308 would be one of the last weapons I would want to be hit with.
The FAL is even worse, usually having a longer barrel and higher velocity.
I love my FAL. :D
He deserved to lose his job for that - even if you leave the whole political aspect aside, the fact that a self-professed general hunting expert somehow missed the enormous growth of the modern sporting rifle in hunting (which IIRC was even then beginning to outnumber old bolts in the field) means that they’re not a hunting expert - any more than some Model T enthusiast who puts down a modern Mustang should be considered a general expert on contemporary road racing.
F’ing Fudds.
Heavy though
But it was our weapon of choice in my experience as a spectator of war in west Africa....specifically the Brit SLR variant
No I was not a recon ranger
A blood diamond exploiter as it were..lol
Man do you know what a class three legal FAL sells for now here....I remember when u could trade a Land Rover battery for one. In Kenema
Not as cheap as Pershawar but cheap...I hear AK in Yemen can be had for cheap
The FAL has been turning up in large numbers in Syria and Libya of late.

TexasGurl24, thanks for posting that link. The article had a direct link to the decision itself. It’s an interesting read. The judge really tried to cover all the bases.
But if you get a PINK one...
Would wood furniture on an AR15 make them LESS 'scary'??
Libtards of scared of everything “guns”. Wood won’t help allay that.
Pink’s not my color; I like the ‘black scary AR-15s”.
Well, it certainly makes a station wagon less scary.
can i get a galil now?¿ lol
I like Woody Wagons, but at 2-3 tons, they can still kill you if you get in the way.
