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.

    How do you write something like this without realising what a cunt you sound?

    This person is talking about deeply mentally ill people and literal wife beaters losing their guns and your response is to not only oppose that, but to oppose it on the ground of "But they paid for them! You can’t just take away things someone paid for! ".

    Oh sorry that’s not fair, you vomited up the words “due process”, like that’s something the pro-gun community believes in as the openly fantasise about executing people on the spot for property crimes and not just something other people built that you think you can spit back in their face.

    Red flag laws are due process.

      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.
