Civilians do not need automatic weapons. So this ruling makes sense.
This court case isn't about automatic firearms it's about semiautomatic firearms that exhibit listed features.
This particular rulling also is only about if the law should be enforced while a the trial regarding it's constitutionality ensues.
Then the headline is wrong because semi-auto firearms are not federally defined as assault weapons.
It's federal courts ruling on constitutionality of state laws
