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.

Ah, I see - there are zero differences between the United States and the Aussieland beyond the set of legislative differences regarding firearms and the prevalence of ownership of those firearms.
It’s weird that you double-down on only caring these things happen by firearms, apparently encouraging such by knife.

Are firearms what drive people to violent extremes e.g. committing murder, mass or otherwise?

Are mass shootings the only form of homicide?
It’s as if you keep reinforcing that you only care that violence is committed with firearms.

Interestingly enough, one of us - and not you - actually cares about addressing the underlying issues.
My solutions are myriad. Violence is a complex problem.
Scoped to mass shootings, it’s already fairly well laid-out here.
Regarding general violence, there’s much to indicate the actions needed to resolve the high-profile-yet-miniscule-count mass shootings would overlap with general violence and homicide. From there, extend to adding the necessary social safety nets to protect an individual from being exposed to and pressured into such dire extremes.
You know… actually improve lives rather than clutch pearls that those poor souls used firearms in their violence.
