“The Court does not lightly enjoin a state statute, even on a preliminary basis,” Judge Benitez said in the ruling.

“However, just as the Court is mindful that a majority of California voters approved Proposition 63 and that the government has a legitimate interest in protecting the public from gun violence, it is equally mindful that the Constitution is a shield from the tyranny of the majority.
