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 would argue that it even further enforces the idea that the states, individually, cannot create firearm legislation

    I agree which is why we need a federal ban on high capacity weapons.

    the definition that you stated is not without contention

    The roundness of the Earth is under contention too.

      What is your rationale behind that statement?

      Err, no it isn’t. There is a difference between subjective disagreement, and denialism.
