A federal judge has delivered a smackdown to California’s ludicrous ban on billy clubs, declaring it a victory for common sense and the Second Amendment. Judge Roger Benitez didn’t hold back in his scathing ruling against California’s attempts to restrict citizens’ ability to defend themselves against violent criminals. Finally, a judge with some sense!
Federal Judge Clobbers California's Silly Ban on Billy Clubs in Devastating Ruling https://t.co/oT2rz3ZRZk

The judge’s decision in the case of Fouts v. Bonta shredded the ban on owning or carrying billy clubs and other self-defense tools. Benitez rightly questioned the legality of a law that criminalized Californians for simply having a billy club, a tool commonly used by law enforcement and citizens alike for protection. It’s about time someone stood up for law-abiding citizens’ rights to arm themselves against harm.
The Second Amendment should guarantee every American’s right to keep and bear arms, whether it’s a firearm or a less lethal option. It’s not just about guns; it’s about the freedom to protect life and property. Benitez’s ruling highlighted the importance of having alternatives like billy clubs for self-defense, especially in dangerous situations.
By striking down this ridiculous ban, Judge Benitez reinforced the foundational principle of American liberty: the right to keep and bear arms. California’s restrictive laws have already gone too far, and banning billy clubs only made it harder for law-abiding citizens to protect themselves. It’s a relief to see a judge prioritize citizens’ safety over virtue signaling legislation.
California’s elites clearly have no interest in allowing responsible citizens to defend themselves. The state’s tyrannical restrictions on gun owners are bad enough, but banning billy clubs is a step too far. With crime rates on the rise, it’s more crucial than ever for people to have options for self-defense. Let’s hope more judges follow Benitez’s lead in pushing back against unjust laws that put law-abiding citizens at risk.
