The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned two lower court judges and upheld California’s ban on high-capacity magazines Tuesday in a split decision that may be headed for the U.S. Supreme Court.
“The statute outlaws no weapon, but only limits the size of the magazine that may be used with firearms,” the judges ruled in the 7-4 decision.
The majority reasoned that “the record demonstrates that the limitation interferes only minimally with the core right of self-defense, as there is no evidence that anyone ever has been unable to defend his or her home and family due to the lack of a large-capacity magazine; and ... that the limitation saves lives.”

We do not have the 2nd amendment to protect our homes, to hunt, to target shoot, to collect weapons, etc.!!!!
We need high capacity magazines to stand against the coming military’s take over of this country.

It is your patriotic duty to store ammunition and high capacity magazines regardless of whether you choose to engage in any of the activities mentioned in your first paragraph, except home protection.

9TH CIRCUS. STILL FUNCTIONIMG THANKS TO CONGRESS
SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.
Sure they did. “ ... the record demonstrates that the limitation interferes only minimally with the core right of self-defense, as there is no evidence that anyone ever has been unable to defend his or her home and family due to the lack of a large-capacity magazine"
If the above is the proper reasoning, then barring you from having a second magazine would interfere only minimally with the core right. It won't take the California legislature long to figure this one out.
The reasoning above could also make the decision easier for the Supreme Court as follows: Because the law in question interferes with the core right of self defense, as admitted by the majority of the Ninth Circuit, the ban is overturned.
The Supreme Court needs merely to recognize that interfering, even minimally, is infringing. The Ninth Circuit has made deciding this case very easy.
They would also have to limit the number of guns one person could own. Of course California’s number would be zero.
No surprise..
Ninth Circus is clowning around as usual...
I remember “FREEDOM” !!!

What Fun That was!
For a 10 round magazine to be effective, this criteria must be true
a. all shots must hit their target. (this may necessitate state approved accuracy training)
b. There cannot be more than five targets (for double-tap).
...just for fun
Over 1,000 murders in Lightfoot’s Chicago. 27 year high. Mostly black on black.
Pretty narrow definition of “weapon”. How about defining “arms”.
