A three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has just ruled for the plaintiffs in Duncan v. Becerra, striking down the state’s “large capacity” magazine ban.
As the opinion notes:
The Ninth Circuit employs a two-prong inquiry to determine whether firearm regulations violate the Second Amendment: (1) whether the law burdens conduct protected by the Second Amendment; and (2) if so, what level of scrutiny to apply to the regulation. United states v. Chovan, 735 F.3d 1127, 1136 (9th Cir. 2013)
The panel held that under the first prong of the test, Cal. Penal Code § 32310 burdened protected conduct. First, the panel held that firearm magazines are protected arms under the Second Amendment. Second, the panel held that LCMs are commonly owned and typically used for lawful purposes, and are not “unusual arms” that would fall outside the scope of the Second Amendment. Third, the panel held that LCM prohibitions are not longstanding regulations and do not enjoy a presumption of lawfulness. Fourth, the panel held that there was no persuasive historical evidence in the record showing LCM possession fell outside the ambit of Second Amendment protection.

This also happened a couple of years ago when a judge put on hold the magazine law. As a result, magazine makers flooded Cali with hi-cap magazines for a few weeks.
Here is a link to my favorite hi-cap magazine, the Pro-Mag D60. just for California. The illustration on the box is a hoot!

STANDARD capacity magazines.
No Schiff, you say. LOL
Pigs continuing to fly, occasionally, over the 9th circus...
The 9th circuit is usually the one that causes the conflict with the more conservative circuits and that sends it to the Supreme Court.
Most people don’t realize that the 9th circuit is in the process of major change. It is almost a 50-50 chance that you get a 3 judge panel with 2 Republican nominated judges now. And the 9th circuit is so big that they almost never go to the full circuit court for a hearing.
It took President Trump to start repairing that dysfunctional court.

Any visibility to Federal Ammo/ CCI/Blazer etc shipments? Are they coming in? Freegards
The reformulation of this circuit, done by removing a state’s US senators from the selection process is amazing.
Though an en banc review may not reaffirm this ruling, we’ll likely be only a vote or two away worst case.
Be right back...yep the sky is still blue on the planet I live on.
Cameltoe Harris is greatly disappointed.
Can I upgrade my revolver with a high capacity cylinder? :)
We get a few cases of a variety of manufacturers every day, but it’s gone in minutes.
Great news
Trump’s nominations and Senate approvals are beginning to flip the 9th circus.
Watch for Beccerra to appeal the three judge panel to the full Circuit Court. They still outnumber us there.
With the Cannon ( I include Howitzer's with Cannon's, I admit my ignorance as to which weapon is truly superior, my money is on the Cannon's.)
Now, for those of you who have read this far, I invoke Article 1, Section 8, of the United States Constitution.
Ok, so now your saying this guy has been standing out in the Sun to long, without a hat on and has cooked his coconut, a.k.a. pea sized brain.
I give you a actual "American Letter of Marque, from 1812."
The Letter below is an example of an American letter of marque that was issued in the War of 1812 to Captain of the Prince of Neufchatel, comprising 18 guns and 129 men, by James Madison, President of the United States of America. This letter is archived in the Public Record Office in Richmond, Surrey in the UK (High Court of Admiralty HCA32/1342).
Letter of Marque carried by Captain Millin of the American privateer Prince of Neufchatel during the War of 1812.
James Madison, President of the United States of America,
To all who shall see these presents, Greeting:
BE IT KNOWN, That in pursuance of an act of congress, passed on the 26th day of June one thousand eight hundred and twelve, I have Commissioned, and by these presents do commission, the private armed Brig called the Prince Neufchatel of the burden of three hundred & Nineteen tons, or thereabouts, owned by John Ordronaux & Peter E. Trevall of the City & State of New York and Joseph Beylle of Philadelphia in the State of Pennsylvania Mounting eighteen carriage guns, and navigated by one hundred & twenty nine men, hereby authorizing Nicholas Millin captain, and William Stetson lieutenant of the said Brig and the other officers and crew thereof, to subdue, seize, and take any armed or unarmed British vessel, public or private, which shall be found within the jurisdictional limits of the United States, or elsewhere on the high seas, or within the waters of the British dominions, and such captured vessel, with her apparel, guns, and appertenances, and the goods or effects which shall be found on board the same, together with all the british persons and others who shall be found acting on board, to bring within some port of the United States; and also to retake any vessel, goods, and effects of the people of the United States, which may have been captured by any British armed vessel, in order that proceedings may be had concerning such capture or recapture in due form of law, and as to right and justice shall appertain.

One descriptive characteristic which was commonly used was to define guns by their pound rating — theoretically, the weight of a single solid iron shot fired by that bore of cannon. Common sizes were 42-pounders, 36-pounders, 32-pounders, 24-pounders, 18-pounders, 12-pounders, 9-pounders, 8-pounders, 6-pounders, and various smaller calibres. French ships used standardized guns of 36-pound, 24-pound, 18-pound, 12-pound, and 8-pound calibers, augmented by carronades and smaller pieces. In general, larger ships carrying more guns carried larger ones as well.
Just for giggles...
