This entry details a significant Second Amendment victory in California, where Judge Benitez ruled the state's ban on billy clubs unconstitutional. The ruling, based on the Bruen decision, affirms the right to self-defense with dangerous and lethal firearms, and extends to less-lethal options like billy clubs. The State of California has appealed this decision to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

This video discusses the Fouts v. Bonta case, where the Ninth Circuit is reviewing a Second Amendment challenge to California's ban on batons and billy clubs. Initially dismissed by Judge Roger T. Benitez, the case argues that the ban, based on a 1917 law, is not long-standing and that batons are not dangerous or unusual weapons, thus violating Second Amendment rights. The plaintiffs advocate for strict scrutiny, arguing the ban infringes on the core right to self-defense within the home.
