California under-21 gun sales ban ruled unconstitutional by US appeals court
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, however, ruled that a hunting license requirement for purchases of rifles or shotguns by adults under 21 who are not in the military or law enforcement was reasonable.

A U.S. appeals court on Wednesday ruled that California's ban on the sale of semiautomatic weapons to adults under 21 is unconstitutional, a move gun-rights advocates hope will pave the way for similar rulings in other courts.

The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the law violates the Second Amendment and that a San Diego judge should have blocked what is called the "an almost total ban on semiautomatic centerfire rifles" for young adults.

Good but surprising from this court.

I'm assuming this ruling was the usual 3 judge panel and will be overturned when the whole 9th circus hears it.

Yep. Story says it was a 2-1 ruling, so when Kalifornia appeals to the full court, it will likely be overturned.

Got it, that makes more sense.

[Holland&Holland]

Or less sense I suppose depending on how one looks at it.

How dare that dusty old piece of parchment written by slave owners get in the way of Public Policy!
