BREAKING: 9th Circuit Panel Strikes Down California ‘High Capacity’ Magazine Ban

Here are my thoughts:

1) Glad about this decision;

2) CA will appeal to the full 9th Circus (it is STILL a circus, even with Trump’s appointments), where the ban will be upheld;

3) It’ll be appealed to the Supreme Court, which won’t give the case cert - so the ban will end up standing.

4) “...and are not “unusual arms” that would fall outside the scope of the Second Amendment.”

I would like to know where, exactly, in the 2nd Amendment all arms except “unusual” ones are protected. I have pretty decent reading comprehension, and to me it says, “...the right of the people to bear ARMS [emphasis added] shall not be infringed.” “Arms,” not “all but unusual arms.” This kind of 1st-grade-level legal analysis is the reason why I know that the full 9th Circus will overrule the panel and support the ban.

“One word. Reload.”

Two words. Component shortage. Other people have already figured that out. I have been lucky enough to get a couple thousand primers and 3 pounds of powder (enough for me for a while) in the last couple of weeks. Some bullets are available, but expensive.

All of this shows the wisdom of stocking up during times of plenty, even if only 100 rounds/month of 1 caliber at a time - over the course of 5 years that would be 6,000 rounds of ammo.

But don’t you love how they rely on precedent? By that logic, Dred Scott would still be law. I have always thought that to be a BS standard - judges, even groups of them, are far from perfect. If they made mistakes X number of years ago, then precedent would argue against ever overturning those bad decisions.

Wish that Hornady A-Max would come down. $7 each...OUCH.
