As early as this week, a federal judge could once again rule to overturn California's longstanding ban on assault weapons.
Still, Travis said the decision is unlikely to lead to any immediate change in the sale of guns in California.
Travis said the decision will be appealed to the 9th Circuit Superior Court and from there, potentially, all the way up to the Supreme Court.Governor Newsom warned about the likely ruling earlier this month while announcing new gun control legislation"I look forward to Judge Benitez's decision. It's already written," Newsom predicted. "He's likely to overturn our assault weapons ban. Stay tuned. That's a preview of things to come in the next few weeks.
If Benitez does overturn the assault weapons ban, it would not be his first time. He struck down the law in 2021. However, a higher court reinstated the law. Travis said that ruling gives gun rights groups a better chance of actually overturning California's assault weapons ban.
