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.

    The “will use it for crime” part is where it stops overlapping. If you’re smart and tech savvy enough to operate a 3d printer, you’re probably smart enough to not be a criminal. I’m well aware of FOSSCAD and the inappropriately named AWCY.

      Do you really think all violent criminals are stupid?

      Plus, you do realize that the criminal doesn’t need to buy or operate a printer, right? There are hundreds of etsy shops and people on Facebook that will print whatever you want and mail it to you.
