    Civilians do not need automatic weapons. So this ruling makes sense.

      This court case isn’t about automatic firearms it’s about semiautomatic firearms that exhibit listed features.

      This particular rulling also is only about if the law should be enforced while a the trial regarding it’s constitutionality ensues.

        Then the headline is wrong because semi-auto firearms are not federally defined as assault weapons.

          They’re operating off of the CA definition in the headline.

          To the best of my knowledge the only federal definition of the phrase ‘assault weapon’ came from the 1994 ban which ceased in 2004. And that targeted semiautomatic guns too as it was based off of California’s.
