California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom lashed out at a federal judge on Saturday after the judge ruled late on Friday night that California’s far-left assault weapons ban was “unconstitutional” and violated the Second Amendment.

“As the son of a judge, I grew up with deep respect for the judicial process and the importance of a judge’s ability to make impartial fact-based rulings, but the fact that this judge compared the AR-15 – a weapon of war that’s used on the battlefield – to a Swiss Army Knife completely undermines the credibility of this decision and is a slap in the face to the families who’ve lost loved ones to this weapon,” Newsom falsely claimed. “We’re not backing down from this fight, and we’ll continue pushing for common sense gun laws that will save lives.”
