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.

      It’s also super easy to not kill people with guns. If someone is dumb enough to get into the latter, I’m gonna assume they aren’t smart enough to do the former

      Like, obviously there’s gonna be some psychopath who uses 3d printed parts for a shooting at some point, but I can’t imagine your typical gangbanger sitting at his desk troubleshooting his printer, asking /r/3dprinting why it keeps delaminating at 53mm. Maybe it’ll become an issue once they can’t just get a solid, reliable expanded magazine for $30 from the next state over.
