The rules of the Federal Court of Appeal are verified the history of California ammunition

A federal court of appeal ruled Thursday that California’s first law of its kind forcing the owners of firearms to undergo checks of history to buy ammunition is unconstitutional, declaring that it violates the right of the second amendment to carry weapons.

In a decision 2-1, the 9th Circuit Court of Apouals in the United States has confirmed a permanent injunction as a judge of the lower court preventing the State from enforcing the law.

Circuit judge Sandra Ikuta declared that the law “significantly constrained” the right to keep and support arms and that the State has not proven that the law was in accordance with the historical tradition of the country’s firearms, as required by a decision of the American Supreme Court in 2022, the decision of the Supreme Court of New York and Pistol Association C. Bruen.

“By submitting the Californians to the checking of the history for all the ammunition purchases, the regime for verifying the history of California munitions breaking the fundamental right to keep and bear arms,” wrote Ikuta.

California Governor Gavin Newsom, a democrat, said the decision was a “slap opposite” to the efforts of the Golden State officials to promulgate firearms to curb armed violence.

“Fire -boring laws that save lives – and today’s decision is a slap in front of the progress that California has made in recent years to keep its safer communities of armed violence,” Newsom said in a statement. “The Californians voted to require checks of the history of ammunition and their voices should be significant.”

The Office of the Prosecutor General Rob Bonta, also a democrat, said that “our families, our schools and our neighborhoods deserve nothing less than the most basic protection against preventable armed violence, and we examine our legal options”.

California voters approved a voting measure in 2016 forcing firearms owners to undergo verifications from the initial history to buy ammunition, as well as four -year ammunition permits.

The legislators subsequently modified the measure to require checks of the history for each purchase of ammunition.

Californian officials said they had received 191 reports last year from “armed and prohibited individuals” who were blocked through checks of the history of the purchase of ammunition.

The State can request a committee of the Court of Appeal of 11 judges or the Supreme Court of the United States to examine the decision.

The complainants included Kim Rhode, who won three Olympic gold medals during shooting events, and California Rifle & Pistol Association.

The president and lawyer general of the firearm group said in a joint statement that the decision was a victory against the “surpassing the government’s firearms control”, while Rhode described it as “a great victory for all firearms in California”.

The injunction was published by the American district judge Roger Benitez in San Diego. A call committee put the injunction in suspense while California’s call took place.

California has argued that several former firearms restrictions have supported the checks of the history, including the rules of the colonial era requiring licenses to produce cannon powder, the disarmament around 1776 people who refused to lend oaths of loyalty and end of the 19th century requiring the approval of the government to transport concealed weapons.

The circuit judge Jay Bybee, who dissident from the decision on Thursday, accused the majority of having ignored the directives of the Supreme Court by effectively declaring the limits of sales of illegal ammunition, given the importance that an identical historical analogues could indicate.

The law “is not the type of heavy regulation which significantly constrains the right to keep and bear arms,” wrote Bybee.

The three judges on Thursday panel were appointed by republican presidents, although the appointments of Democratic presidents hold a majority in the 9th circuit.

Ikuta and Bybee were appointed by former president George W. Bush, while Circuit Judge Bridget Bade, who joined the majority of Thursday, was appointed by President Donald Trump.
