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.

    I don’t own any guns.

    Well, I do, but one is my grandfather’s hunting rifle and one is a shotgun for pest control/clay pigeon shooting, and both are stored at my mom’s farm.

      Oh well fire up the 3D printer because apparently guns are fucking awesome and everyone needs them, with absolutely no oversight or accountability.

      That’s the usual level of pro-gun honesty though. “I don’t own any guns except for the 2 guns I own”.

        Nice strawman there, buddy.

        And while I own two guns, I don’t possess them or rely on them for protection. That’s an important distinction to make.
