“The Legislature has created a regulatory scheme that prevents people from buying handguns that are widely available and popular in the free market outside of the State ... California’s new and expanded handgun ban is unconstitutional because it prevents law-abiding people from purchasing the common, modern firearms they have a right to under our Constitution.” [More]
If popularity is the issue, federal bans on new technology will forever deny it to us. And precedents have been upheld that the availability of alternatives for "self-defense" can be used to deny what is currently available.
"Common use" was intended to cover "ordinary military equipment [that] could contribute to the common defense.”
Wake me when somebody with the resources fights that legal battle.
