A federal judge has overturned California´s three-decade-old ban on assault weapons, ruling that it violates the constitutional right to bear arms. The lawsuit went on reference Judge Benitez’s earlier ruling that California’s ban on high-capacity magazines was unconstitutional. 'The state of California’s ban on these firearms will fail constitutional scrutiny for the same reasons that its ban on firearm magazines did.' California has ended its ban on assault rifles after 32 years. They say California's ban on anyone under the age of 21 owning guns is age-discrminiation, and infringes on the rights of law-abiding young adults.
