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.

    So if I don’t have $10,000 I can’t have a full mag with which to defend myself? $15,000 for one standard capacity at that?

    Yeah, “only rich people can defend themselves, you poors don’t deserve to live anyway.”

      It’s like they’ve learned nothing from the attempted-privilege-making-poor tax that is the NFA.

        the really shitty part is regulating suppressors. I wonder how cheap they’d actually be nowadays if it weren’t for the NFA.

          There’s certainly an argument to be made that we’d be seeing much more innovation and availability if not for the sheer SOT sandbagging.

          It continues to blow my mind that basic hearing protection is somehow restricted especially when the countries the restrict/ban crowd loves comparing the US to generally consider suppressors to be essential equipment because of the sound reduction.
