Another thread on this decision claimed the court agreed the cops COULD keep their rifles. Smoe confusion it seems.

Nevermind. It seems they agreed that cops could own GUNS,just not us everyday peons.

Sorry for the cofusion on my part.

Here is a link to the decision on the court's website.

I think the decision was that off-duty cops have a reason to possess assault weapons, but retired cops do not. The reasoning is based on their assertion that such weapons may only be possessed for the purpose of law enforcement business. Off-duty cops might find themselves suddenly on-duty, but retired cops are just poor Kalifornia schmucks who don't need no stinking constitutional rights.
