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.

    A hot take from the “it’s because of video games, rap music and buildings having too many doors” crowd.

    You don’t need to be an expert at sexually abusing children to make child abuse laws and you don’t need to know the calibre and capacity of 100 guns to see that the current laws are dogshit and can’t keep guns out of the hands of even the reddest of flags.

      Lol you’re really going to go with “FUDD represents all firearm owners”? If I recall correctly tipper gore is the one who got the labels slapped on CDs…

      You’re arguing with a liberal gun owner, you absolutely should know about weapons you’re trying to ban, because you clearly don’t understand the difference between a plastic semi auto rifle and one with a wood stock… they’re literally the same thing.

      Speaking of red flags, have you gone through your own comment history and tallied up the number of times you’ve talked about sexually abusing children?

      It seems you have a common theme on your mind.
