Federal Judge Blocks California's Handgun Safety Law.
A federal judge has blocked a California law that restricts the sale of new handguns, stating that parts of the legislation violate the Second Amendment. The state's requirements for new handguns are unconstitutional and cannot be enforced, according to the judge. California law requires new handguns to have a chamber load indicator, a magazine disconnect mechanism, and microstamping capability, which no handgun available in the world has all three of these features. The ruling is a win for gun rights supporters who filed a lawsuit challenging the law last year.
