TLDR: There's a court case in CA regarding the constitutionality of an assault weapons ban and this ruling was that during the course of the case that the law should remain enforced as it had previously been.

This particular ruling isn't a final ruling on the matter.

Thank god we don’t have to rely on thoughts and prayers.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the injunction issued last week by U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez in San Diego from taking effect while the case remains under review.

The panel also unanimously agreed that state Attorney General Rob Bonta's appeal in support of the gun law would be heard on its merits on an expedited basis.

"Weapons of war do not belong on our streets," Bonta said, pointing to a mass shooting earlier this week in Lewiston, Maine, that claimed 18 lives and left 13 others wounded.

California in 1989 became the first U.S. state to ban assault weapons, acting in the wake of a school shooting that killed five children and toughening the law the following year.

Since then, California has restricted the manufacture, distribution, transportation, importation, sale or possession of firearms that qualify under the law as "assault weapons."

Such guns are defined as those with certain tactical enhancements or configurations designed to make them more dangerous to the public and thus susceptible to criminal use.
