Federal judge again strikes down California law banning gun magazines of more than 10 rounds - eviltoast

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.

    Oh come on. Literally nobody is pro firearms for domestic abusers, let’s get off that straw man.

    The justice system in this country is, and always has been, built on the premise that someone is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

    This isn’t merely important for guns. It’s important for every aspect of criminal justice.
