A US appeals court Saturday paved the way for a California law banning the concealed carry of firearms in “sensitive places” to go into effect January 1, despite a federal judge’s ruling that it is “repugnant to the Second Amendment.”

The law – Senate Bill 2 – had been blocked last week by an injunction from District Judge Cormac Carney, but a three-judge panel filed an order Saturday temporarily blocking that injunction, clearing the path for the law to take effect.

The court issued an administrative stay, meaning the appeals judges did not consider the merits of the case, but delayed the judge’s order to give the court more time to consider the arguments of both sides. “In granting an administrative stay, we do not intend to constrain the merits panel’s consideration of the merits of these appeals in any way,” the judges wrote.

    Man, people must really love you if you twist words like that. The comment was meant in the general sense not the specific argument we’re having about weapons. Im not responding past this because you obviously just want to argue. Good day.

      So in the “general sense” people shouldn’t supply evidence for their claims. I see.

      Amazing how many people in this thread just twist themselves into pretzels rather than just say they can’t back up their claim and just want the law to reflect what they feel is right.

      Although admittedly “no one is going to back up what they say on Lemmy because it doesn’t matter” is a new one. Why even be in a news community if you don’t care about evidence?
