Frequently Asked Questions

What was the outcome of the Miller v. Bonta case regarding California's assault weapon ban?

Judge Benitez ruled that California's assault weapon ban is unconstitutional. The ruling declared various sections of the California Penal Code defining assault weapons and regulating their features as unconstitutional and enjoined state officials from enforcing them.

What is the current status of the Miller v. Bonta ruling?

The injunction against California's assault weapon ban has been stayed for 30 days. This means the ban remains in effect during this period, during which California can appeal or request an indefinite stay on the injunction.

What specific firearm features were challenged in the Miller v. Bonta case?

The case questioned the legality of certain firearm features, such as pistol grips or collapsible stocks, which are often cited as reasons for a firearm to be classified as an 'assault weapon' under California law.

When could California's assault weapon ban potentially be lifted?

If California does not successfully file for a stay or their request is denied within the 30-day period, the enforcement of the assault weapon ban could be removed. Some speculate this could lead to a 'freedom day' around July 4th if the stay is not extended.
