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.

    Trans and gay people would be a whole hell of a lot safer if the people who wanted to kill them were unarmed.

      Unfortunately, you will literally never be able to guarantee that.

      Sure. But they aren’t, and they can’t be legally disarmed. And the cops aren’t on the side of LGBTQ people. So LGBTQ people better get strapped and trained, because no one else is going to be looking out for them.
