AB-962 Struck down by California Court!

Second Amendment activists are celebrating a California court's decision to block a pending state law that would restrict the sale of certain types of handgun ammunition.

A Fresno County Superior Court Judge says parts of the measure, set to take effect next month, would overstep constitutional bounds, calling the law's definitions for 'handgun' and 'ammunition' too vague.

This is good, but not great. CA will just rewrite the ban to better define handgun and ammo. If I understand that correctly, the court did not strike the concept of a mail order ban at all, just a vague one.

THat's about how I read it too. We'll see, I guess.

Yep. Kalifornia will no doubt find someone smart (probably out of state) and rewrite it...probably much harsher than what it was before.
