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.

    No idea why so many people think gun are easy to obtain. Who told you that? What’s your real-life experience?

    I ran with some seriously sketchy people in my youth, hardly ever even saw a gun, let alone one for sale. I’ve bought 40+ guns and only one did not require a background check and a wait. (Good friend had a new baby, hard up for rent, did it as a favor.)

    I have school age children, so I can hardly downplay school shootings, but they’re far more rare than the media leads us to believe. Hear about the 4 kids that got smeared off the side of the road in $YourCity yesterday? One thing is national news, the other is not.

    Yep, it’s harder to kill people with a knife. Also takes a lot more guts to go “wet” vs. pulling a trigger. No arguments. But if I’m defending myself, or another, I’m not interested in less lethal options.
