Judge Lawrence VanDyke handles firearms in video dissent/ screen image
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday upheld California’s ban on large-capacity magazines.
The en banc panel of the Ninth Circuit Court (a decision from the court’s entire slate of judges) sided with California’s radical Marxist Attorney General Rob Bonta.
In 2023, a federal judge struck down California’s ban on high-capacity gun magazines.
US District Judge Roger Benitez, a George W. Bush appointee, in his ruling said, “there is no American tradition of limiting ammunition capacity.” The judge said detachable magazines “solved a problem with historic firearms: running out of ammunition and having to slowly reload a gun.”
“There have been, and there will be, times where many more than 10 rounds are needed to stop attackers,” Benitez wrote, according to CBS News. “Yet, under this statute, the State says ‘too bad.’”
The judge is absolutely correct.
However, California’s radical Attorney General Rob Bonta immediately filed an appeal.
In October 2023, the Ninth Circuit granted California’s request for a stay of the district court judge’s decision.
Last year the Ninth Circuit took up another challenge to the state’s ban on high-capacity magazines.
On Thursday, in a 7-4 decision, the court’s entire slate of judges upheld the ban on large-capacity magazines.
Judge Lawrence VanDyke, a Trump appointee who grew up in Bozeman, Montana, angered a lefty judge on the court after he released a highly unusual video dissent demonstrating him handling several different firearms.
Judge Marsha Berzon, a Clinton appointee, blasted Judge VanDyke for releasing the video dissent.
“Judge Berzon pointed out two problems with Judge VanDyke’s reliance on the video: (1) The video is not part of his written dissent and it includes facts outside the record. (2) Judge VanDyke has in essence appointed himself as an expert witness in this case, providing a factual presentation with the express aim of convincing the readers of his view of the facts without complying with any of the procedural safeguards that usually apply to experts and their testimony, while simultaneously serving on the panel deciding the case,” the judges wrote in a sharp rebuke.

Well, then let the judges enforce their ruling!
I certainly won’t!
On the grounds of? That CA state legislators passed legislation outside the U.S. constitution?
Fine with me, this just means it goes to SCOTUS
Sorry, but leave while you still can, but hear me out. It is not about quitting the fight rather leave the feral beings to kill themselves off and the we can repopulate with proper vetting
Why doesn’t this apply to law enforcement
The Feral judge pricks are all starting to feel godly. They can do anything they want to Americans now. Roberts told them they could.
I take no comfort in that knowledge. Roberts seems hell-bent on sending the country over the cliff.
CA firearms law is full of special exemptions for law enforcement. Law enforcement is somehow a "better, more privileged state of being" than an "ordinary" citizen. It smells of an equal protection violation.
And since we have traitor Roberts and ACB then we are out of luck at the USSC.
The same people that say, only police should have guns are the same ones who say disband the police and that police are racists. Defies logic!
Seems???
Seems???
We all knew that on the day he single-handedly gave us obamacare!
These scumbags need to have their names dragged through the mud and have their history be lower than Hitler's crap.
” Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Upholds California’s Ban on High-Capacity Magazines – Trump Appointed Judge Releases Video Dissent of Him Handling Firearms!”
Of course they did. They are part of the judicial insurrection against the Supreme Court of the United States.
What part of “shall not be infringed” does this fall under?
Chopping away at our constitution one activists judge at a time.
it is patently unconstitutional and frankly just plan stupid rulings like this that have engendered the widespread contempt of the judiciary
Ask a friend in a state to send you whatever you need.
Eleven is too many. Ten will be too many. Then nine will be too many. Then eight and on and on and on.
A little infringement is okay, by bits and pieces. Is word count next?
EC
Remember HOW CALIFORNIA CREATED A CRISIS to pass an AW ban law?
They wrote a law so bad it was opposed from all sides, so they pulled it and shelved it.
Then they created a crisis to pass it. They released Pat Purdy from a mental institution, In violation of State and Federal law, they allowed him to buy a rifle in Oregon and a handgun in California passing the waiting periods.
He then went and shot up the Stockton School yard killing several students and himself.
The shelved AW ban bill was pulled out and passed before any opposition could be mounted against it.
