On June 4, a federal judge ruled that California's assault weapon ban was unconstitutional. Yesterday, US court of appeals issued a stay on that ruling. I wonder how that will affect the charges. I would assume that it would have no affect, because the Uzi, if fully automatic, is federally banned. But if it's a semi automatic, then that would be California law. Here's a piece of an article about the ruling.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit has blocked a federal judge’s ruling overturning California’s longtime ban on assault weapons, in which he likened an AR-15 to a Swiss Army knife.
A three-judge panel in a one-page order on Monday issued a stay of the June 4 order from U.S. District Judge Roger T. Benitez of the Southern District of California, in which the judge ruled that sections of the state ban in place since 1989 regarding military-style rifles are unconstitutional. [Reply]

None of that matters if it is an automatic weapon, which falls under different rules than rifle/gun/"assault rifle" [Reply]
I just read where he got an additional GC in March, this is his second offense this year
Three months earlier, on March 13, Clark and another man, Charles Smith, were arrested after officers observed and recovered two loaded firearms inside the vehicle during a traffic stop, according to California Highway Patrol records.

That might be the gotcha for him, even if it is his bodyguards weapon. Second offense in a few months will probably be a bit harder to plead down. [Reply]

NFL will suspend him regardless.
2 times in 3 months is a simple IQ test for that moron. My guess is 2-6 games suspension because NFL loves to show off in these situations. [Reply]
