California's Handgun Safety Law Blocked by Judge.

A federal judge has blocked California from enforcing a state law requiring new semi-automatic handguns to have certain safety features, finding it violates the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The 2001 law, known as the Unsafe Handgun Act, requires new semi-automatic handguns to have an indicator showing when there is a round in the chamber and a mechanism to prevent firing when the magazine is not fully inserted, both meant to prevent accidental discharge. The ruling is the latest in a line of decisions striking down state gun laws following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year expanding gun rights.
