Court Upholds California Ban on High-Capacity Magazines
KSBW ^ | Nov 30, 2021

Posted on 11/30/2021 12:05:09 PM PST by nickcarraway

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.”

You don't need evidence if this is a right.

Seven federal judges don’t seem to know that the core purpose of the 2nd Amendment is more than personal self-defense, but the ability to resist insurrection or invasion by foreign or domestic enemies, which in today’s world would require more than a six-shooter.

Well the court didn’t limit the number of magazines one can carry in California.

Right to self defense?

I missed that in the second amendment.

Why didn’t they go even further and call it a right to hunt?

article: "The majority reasoned that 'the record demonstrates that the limitation interferes only minimally'.

What part of "Shall Not Be Infringed" do these faux judges not understand? The Constitution speaks plainly and without any wiggle room. The Constitution does NOT say "Shall Be Minimally Infringed".

“...the limitation interferes only minimally...”

A minimal infringement...

Why did you shoot him 13 times?

Well, he seemed immobilized, so I did not reload.

They would be dead and unable to present evidence to the corrupt court.

I wonder if this court has heard about the US Constitution.

Apparently not.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

They are asking to prove a negative, as a requirement to uphold a Constitutional right.

Judge Rodger Benitez opinion, from the District Court shows all their arguments to be fluff and nonsense.

So does the opinion of the three judge panel.

Simple solution: Move to a better state. Commiefornia is LOST! It’s practically part of Mexico now anyway.

Obviously, CA buys into the notion that if you are attacked by a mob of Antifa and bLM terrorists that you just need to take the beating, even if it means you’ll die. ‘Normal’ capacity magazines are required these days if you travel/live in Democrat controlled cities.

The 9th Circuit court, the most highly turnover court in our history. They are (majority) screaming liberals.
