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.

    I guarantee you that that is utter bullshit. And no one you’ve ever known has ever needed one either.

      I’ve personally been stalked by, and unexpectedly face-to-face with, a mountain lion while out hunting with my dad.

      You can pointlessly quibble about need, but the fact remains that my .357 was the only effective thing between it and I. I was lucky it didn’t want a two-for.

      Feel free to continue making such faulty assumptions - it highlights the extent to which you lack the empathy to try and understand other points of view and the imagination to contemplate things outside what you’ve considered.

        Bullshit. And even if it were true, hunting isn’t even what’s being questioned here, and you know it. You’ve manufactured what you think is the perfect argument to support guns, but it falls flat.

          I’ve related an actual experience from my life. Frankly, I don’t care if you believe me or not - that you cannot even fathom such a possibility speaks volumes.
