Specifically, James Miller, Patrick Russ, and Ryan Peterson have filed a federal lawsuit claiming that California is infringing on their Second Amendment rights on the basis of a faulty definition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this specific scenario, the firearms being fought for are assault weapons. However, the problem lies in California\u2019s usage and definition of &#8220;assault weapon.&#8221; The state is classifying certain firearms\u2014which are protected under the Second Amendment\u2014as assault weapons, which places them under the discretion of California&#8217;s ban. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, the trio expressed in the lawsuit that the term \u201cassault weapon\u201d is a politically created term, which intrinsically gives a negative connotation to any firearm and helps further the unlawful restriction against guns. For example, they referenced how California unconstitutionally put certain firearms under the ban due to the amount of ammunition the firearm could hold. Finally, they have expressed how the justifications are simply irrational and completely undermine Second Amendment rights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The attorney of the case, John Dillon, commented on how California will not last long in the case due to the clear and direct writing of the Constitution. According to Dillon, the ban is a blatant violation of the Second Amendment and will not withstand the legal evidence his case presents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interestingly enough, this case is not Dillon\u2019s first with regard to Second Amendment rights. Dillon is also the attorney for another lawsuit regarding the gun ban that California implemented for citizens under 21 years old. He argues that this ban is not only unconstitutional, but discriminatory. How far will California Democrats go to prevent law-abiding citizens from protecting themselves and their families?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/simonov\/18964615192\/in\/photolist-uTQBo1-TJpMo4-27cSWP2-KpJir1-HRCtHc-NGZAwW-SrSJMh-H3qtqY-H57KZp-uXhWZx-MikceZ-H6Nw3m-LfB56-4Vtuyr-7LCJyS-8cwLta-8xynWS-bxPqJt-5Au4td-9QnP81-6Xm4nT-Mtcj7-6gAbB7-6qXEcF-ae5k8E-QM4Bg-5F2enA-9KToRq-dqTLga-28iDxf-LWqh7-pidb81-amgasr-LWxZF-5b6xk-doqXj-LWpFf-LWQSn-LWyYt-7ZSWFz-gHt95y-9qys-fqRZD2-6qSPjV-LWoKA-4u6BJY-pSvya-e1NVZM-Gnpmj-39YZVZ\">Photo by Mitch Barrie via Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Diego residents have had enough with the plethora of gun restrictions from the California government.
