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 things like this which makes it difficult to take people like you seriously.

    • Liberalgunowners exist.

    • Armed black, gay, trans folk help keep the peace during BLM.

    • many of these weird gun laws do very little to actually stop gun violence, but instead expand the divide between the rich vs disenfranchised. .

      Not to mention at minimum some of the gun laws in our past have been put into effect due to racism including those pushed by Reagan due to the black panthers.
