Kasler v. Lockyer
On August 16, 2000, in Kasler v. Lockyer, the Supreme Court of California ruled to uphold the Roberti-Roos Assault Weapons Control Act (AWCA) with additional expansions to the restrictions. Effective January 1, 2001, all firearms listed on the Assault Weapons Control Act (AWCA), with the addition of more AR and AK-style weapons, were deemed illegal Assault Weapons and were required to be registered, deactivated, or turned in to the state.[1] Kasler v. Lockyer, S069522 (Superior Court of Sacramento County June 29, 2000). However, in 2021, a federal court struck down the law in Miller v. Bonta, which is pending appeal.
