SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday threw out California’s ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines, saying the law violates the U.S. Constitution’s protection of the right to bear firearms.
“Even well-intentioned laws must pass constitutional muster,” appellate Judge Kenneth Lee wrote for the panel’s majority. California’s ban on magazines holding more than 10 bullets “strikes at the core of the Second Amendment — the right to armed self-defense.”
He noted that California passed the law “in the wake of heart-wrenching and highly publicized mass shootings,” but said that isn’t enough to justify a ban whose scope “is so sweeping that half of all magazines in America are now unlawful to own in California.”

Ping!
BEST NEWS I’VE HEARD IN WEEKS!!! BUY EM UP CA PATRIOTS!!
There goes the mag market! Gone is inventory even more! ;)
So what are you gonna do about this, John Roberts?
I believe California also bans more than half of the guns in America. So by extension of the same logic, it is un-Constitutional to ban those guns.
we have friends there with birthdays coming up but who is shipping there/?? we’ve checked with 5 internet stores already and nothing so far
thanks
Don’t get too excited, this three judge panel may get overturned when it goes to the full court.
Next, Colorado’s ban on high capacity magazines!
Oh thanks.
First article I had seen on this, but good find.
They figure Antifa needs the capacity.
OTOH American gun owners who fancy themselves patriots must submit to a mandatory gun buyback.
I wish it was not so hot in So Cal today. or id go dig them all up
I hope NY is also in the mix.
If you have been following this, they stress over and over again that a magazine is a firearm (functional part) that is in common use for lawful purposes, and therefore cannot be banned. All that is needed after this is to replace magazine, with “scary black rifle” and most of this will be in the dustbin of history.
If you read Benitez’s rulings since the beginning, it is all geared towards if it is in common use and used for lawful purposes it cannot be restricted due to the 2A.
But high capacity bongs are legal
Yep. Glad I have tons of 30-40 rounders.
Each communist state will have to sue for their freedom.
I’ve been able to get them in Colorado.
Just got two 30 rounders for my Beretta 92 at the shop down the street three weeks ago.
WOW! Two time now. Awesome. So 60rd mags are okay? :-)
