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.

    Weird. I’m semi-closeted and get to listen to various people (including coworkers) talk about how they want to murder “fags”. I’ve had people threaten me with violence because they thought I was coming on to them. I’m sitting here watching politicians argue for criminalizing the existence of people like me while armed gangs of uniformed young men march around calling for the death of “degenerates”.

    You’re right: I’m probably just paranoid and there’s nothing to worry about.
