California cannot ban gun owners from having detachable magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, a federal judge ruled Friday.

The decision from U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez won’t take effect immediately. California Attorney General Rob Bonta, a Democrat, has already filed a notice to appeal the ruling. The ban is likely to remain in effect while the case is still pending.

This is the second time Benitez has struck down California’s law banning certain types of magazines. The first time he struck it down — way back in 2017 — an appeals court ended up reversing his decision.

    Considering the armed attackers have guns themselves

    Thanks to legal gun owners and the deeply flawed systems they won’t let anyone change.

          I mean, if the guy is faster than me that is frankly irrelevant and I’m quickly aging as humans usually do. Or if it’s numerous guy(s), that changes it as well.

          And which would you rather have to defend with, a kinfe or a gun?

            If you need guns to feel safe in your own country, then you live in a shithole.

              I’d rather not be stabbed anywhere tbh, my will to not be stabbed is independant from geographical location.
