A federal judge has struck down a California law banning gun magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. U.S.

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.

    Do you remember when the Las Vegas shooter killed 60 people and and injured over 400 more (not counting the hundreds more injured while fleeing)?

    You should, since it was the most deadly mass shooting in the history of America.

    Anyway, he fired over 1000 rounds in the process but even with the record death toll, it still wasn’t enough to make the pro-gun community agree to ban bump stocks, despite them insisting they were just a range toy anyway.

    So who needs your hypothetical shooter that’s impossible to measure when we have so many actual dead people just piling up because you repeatedly defend them.

      I always love when people highlight an outlier as some sort of justification for sweeping change while also refusing to consider any sweeping change that isn’t the one they want.
