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 as if you don’t care about violence and moreso about protecting your firearms. What is your solution?

      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.
