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.

    only affects law abiding citizens while criminals ignore the law

    This is a fantastic argument for having no laws. Ever.

      It isn’t. Right now it’s very difficult to tell the difference between a law abiding gun owner and a criminal gun owner. In the ‘defense’ scenario, they are literally pitted against one another.
