A federal judge just dealt a blow to gun grabbers in California by ruling against a ban on high-capacity gun magazines. It’s amazing. No matter how bad crime gets, Democrats keep on pushing for new forms of gun control.
Reuters reports:
US judge strikes down California ban on high-capacity gun magazinesA federal judge in California on Friday declared that state’s ban on magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition unconstitutional, saying it violated the Second Amendment rights of firearms owners.U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez in San Diego said California’s “sweeping ban” went too far by preventing people from using magazines for lawful purposes, including self-defense.”The history and tradition of the Second Amendment clearly supports state laws against the use or misuse of firearms with unlawful intent, but not the disarmament of the law-abiding citizen,” Benitez wrote in a 71-page decision.Benitez cited a June 2022 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v Bruen, requiring that firearms restrictions be “consistent with this nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation” to pass muster.California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who enforces the state’s laws, plans to seek a stay while he appeals the decision to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.He said Californians need to be kept safe from weapons enhancements that are “designed” to cause mass casualties.
Gavin Newsom ran to Twitter and posted the following message:
BREAKING: California’s high-capacity magazine ban was just STRUCK DOWN by Judge Benitez, an extremist, right-wing zealot with no regard to human life.Wake up, America.Our gun safety laws will continue to be thrown out by NRA-owned federal judges until we pass a Constitutional Amendment to protect our kids and end the gun violence epidemic in America.
The NRA actually responded:
Others piled on as well:
I imagine there are a lot of people in California who want to be able to protect themselves and their families, due to high crime caused by the policies of Democrats like Gavin Newsom.
