The AP is just astonished that (gasp) Jews, women, and gays (the AP calls them "others") would support a lawsuit against California's gestapo-like firearms laws. What's this? Groups that are frequently the target of violence and abuse want to restore their right to protect themselves. Gosh, who'd-a-thunk-it? I guess the AP expected that only rednecks and pickup drivers would support such a radical idea as restoring people's freedom.

And if describing our Second Amendment supporting friends at Pink Pistols as "others" wasn't bad enough for you, check out this tidbit of shitty reporting (emphasis mine):

[California] defended its ban of 75 high-powered weapons with rapid-fire capabilities.

Of course, like the federal assault weapon's ban, the California ban doesn't regulate automatic firearms. A simple glance at the code (cached) shows that only semi-automatic firearms, which aren't rapid-fire, are banned. Semi-autos, by definition, are not automatic and fire only one round for each pull of the trigger. Describing them as "high-powered" and "rapid-fire" serves only to spread myths and misconceptions about the functionality of firearms. The media, of course, are willing accomplices.
