"US Appeals Court Blocks California Law Banning Guns in Public Places"

A new California law banning the carrying of firearms in most public places has been blocked from taking effect as a court case challenging it continues. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals dissolved a temporary hold on a lower court injunction, keeping in place a ruling that the law violates the Second Amendment. Governor Gavin Newsom, a proponent of gun control, expressed disappointment with the decision, while the California Rifle and Pistol Association, which sued to block the law, sees it as a victory for Second Amendment rights.
