California in 1989 became the first US state to ban assault weapons, acting in the wake of a school shooting that killed five children. Last week, a lower court had declared the measure unconstitutional.

    Then the headline is wrong because semi-auto firearms are not federally defined as assault weapons.

      They’re operating off of the CA definition in the headline.

      To the best of my knowledge the only federal definition of the phrase ‘assault weapon’ came from the 1994 ban which ceased in 2004. And that targeted semiautomatic guns too as it was based off of California’s.
