Federal judge again strikes down California law banning gun magazines of more than 10 rounds
apnews.com

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.

Exactly, it's very hard to respect the anti gun crowd when they focus on banning things that don't even matter beyond comfort or aesthetics. It's just all feel good bs that does nothing but hinder the average joe

Do you know why it's hard to respect the pro-gun crowd?

Because when a legal gun owner in Ulvade used a legally purchased gun to mutilate a room full of children beyond recognition and the entire world asked "What can we change to stop this from happening?", do you know what their pro-gun community replied?

"I don't know, maybe something to do with doors or mental health. All I know is that the gun laws in Texas are brilliant, if not too strict. There is nothing I would have changed and selling guns to someone with a history of rape threats and animal abuse is exactly what the founding fathers wanted".

But yeah sorry we don't know the intricacies of your little trinkets.

If you actually cared as much as you act like you do, you would educate yourself about these "little trinkets".

Exactly. They act like they know everything and ignore when you try to educate them. Banning any feature of a gun isn't going to matter, nothing short of a full on ban is going to put a dent in shootings and that's just not going to happen without civil war.

Arguably addressing root issues would have profound effect... though I tend to agree it won't happen without civil war, given the current state of partisan politics and waves vaguely at this post

like focusing on red flag laws so nutbags don't buy rifles, abusive fucks don't keep their handguns? yeah none of that matters. you fuckwit.

it's impossible to have any respect for the pro-dead-children crowd. you cretins deserve so much worse.

They want due process to have their personal property taken from them? Man. That’s just crazy!

mass murder after mass murder after mass murder and you're just fine with things how they are.

If someone has a nuclear warhead in their personal possession, I want the government to take it from them as well.

Nobody needs a gun, and if you do to feel safe you must accept you live in a shithole country.
