In a completely unsurprising ruling today, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has placed a stay on the lower court ruling on the constitutionality of California's outright ban on "high" capacity magazines.
Last month, a lower federal court judge overturned that ban as unconstitutional. On Tuesday, the larger “en banc” panel stayed that decision — stopping it from taking effect — pending an appeal by the state.
The decision divided the judges along ideological lines. The court’s liberal majority found that the state of California had made “strong arguments” for why the ban on ammunition magazines with more than 10 rounds in them is constitutional. Even under a new, stricter test for gun laws set forth by the U.S. Supreme Court last year, the jurists found, the state is likely to win its appeal.
The motivations for placing the stay on the ruling, was mainly to prevent what happened on March 29th, 2019, when the same law was ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California by Judge Roger Benitez. At the time Benitez issued a stay, along with his unconstitutional ruling against the law, but also issued an injunction against the enforcement of the law.

I still can’t decipher the ruling. I thought I read that the lower federal court judge ruled the law unconstitutional and the 9th Court reversed that?
So, California can now ban “high capacity” magazines?

The next Republican president should elevate Judge Roger Benitez two lead the ninth circuit. I don’t know his politics and detail, or his intellectual prowess, but maybe the Supreme Court.
