In a press conference on Thursday, the state\u2019s Attorney Gen. Rob Bonta and Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) announced a plan to appeal the ruling that legalized the ownership of assault weapons.<\/p>\n<p>Bonta slammed Judge Roger Benitez, who made the decision to overturn the ban that has been in effect since 1989. The judge argued the ban denied California residents of their Second Amendment right and asserted these weapons were used for legal protection purposes.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BREAKING?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BREAKING<\/a>: We&#8217;ve appealed the district court\u2019s decision that overturned CA&#8217;s decades-old assault weapons ban.<\/p>\n<p>Equating firearms that have been used in many of the deadliest mass shootings in this country with Swiss Army knives has no basis in law or fact.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/treOYf3vsr\">https:\/\/t.co\/treOYf3vsr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rob Bonta (@AGRobBonta) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AGRobBonta\/status\/1403038849605914625?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 10, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Bonta claimed the ruling was \u201cdisturbing\u201d and called on Californians to do their part to reduce gun violence in the Golden State.
