A federal judge in San Diego on Friday overturned California’s three-decade ban on assault weapons, saying it violates the Second Amendment.

"Under no level of heightened scrutiny can the law survive," U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez said before issuing a permanent injunction that takes effect in 30 days.

Benitez argued the state’s definition of illegal military-style rifles bans firearms allowed in other states, depriving California gun owners of their rights.

He compared the AR-15 rifle to a Swiss Army knife, saying it’s "a perfect combination of home defense weapon and homeland defense equipment. Good for both home and battle."

"One is to be forgiven if one is persuaded by news media and others that the nation is awash with murderous AR-15 assault rifles," Benitez said in the ruling, referring to AR-15s as "ordinary guns" in comparison to bazookas, howitzers, or machine guns that he said should only be used in the military. "The facts, however, do not support this hyperbole, and facts matter."
