Federal Judge Overturns California’s Assault Weapons Ban

 Here is a link to a copy of the decision.  It is well reasoned and presents the arguments pro and con in detail.  Here is a link to a New York Times article on the decision.  The NYT fails to present the pros and cons and perpetuates the falsehoods concerning AR15 rifles.

Reading the decision and the NYT article provides a useful perspective about the assault weapons debate, including the lack of credibility of the gun control crowd.

As you will see, the AR15 is functionally identical to ordinary sporting rifles - except that it is much less powerful.  You will also see that the assault rifle ban laws typically characterize rifles as assault weapons based on cosmetic features, not functionality.
