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.

    When they wrote the amendment a single-fire cap and ball was perfectly acceptable as a firearm, should be good enough for today.

    Applied slightly differently - When they wrote the amendment, civilians had complete parity with military - should be the same today.

      Fine. Want to own guns? Say hello to boot camp. Some of those Gravy Seals and Tacticool LARPERs are gonna have a hard time.

        I believe you misunderstand, perhaps intentionally. Civilians had complete parity - not army recruits.

        As stupid as what you wrote is, funny enough you’re on the right track.

        I think a gun safety course taught in middle school with a refresher in high school will effectively end the gun debate and save thousands of lives.

        Now you’re not cool because you have a gun. Everyone has shot a gun.

        Now you don’t accidentally shoot your friend in the head because your found daddy’s gun and started playing with it.

        Now you’re not deathly afraid of the thought of guns because you’ve shot one and realized it’s just a tool like a car or chainsaw.
