California cannot ban gun owners from having detachable magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, a federal judge ruled Friday.

The decision from U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez won’t take effect immediately. California Attorney General Rob Bonta, a Democrat, has already filed a notice to appeal the ruling. The ban is likely to remain in effect while the case is still pending.

This is the second time Benitez has struck down California’s law banning certain types of magazines. The first time he struck it down — way back in 2017 — an appeals court ended up reversing his decision.

    Now let’s watch CA push another law through the courts, wasting even more taxpayer money on lawyers defending failed legislation.

        Well they could try addressing systemic poverty, housing, and the mental health and addiction crises instead.

        No?

        Not going to do that either, huh?

        A smaller mag ain’t fixing a single damn problem, pass something that actually matters like proper gun control and licensing

          Less bullets=less victims. Licensing dont do shit to keep people from murdering.

        If you think restricted magazines will change that at all, you’re sorely mistaken. Especially when you can just 3D print a magazine.

          There are absurdly more guns than 3D printer users. Even when there is overlap, any kind of mechanical application is a big problem for 3D prints, with clearances and dimensions being a bit off, as well as being less durable. Shits pretty likely to just jam up.

            We’re talking magazines, not full guns. Magazines are very simple, mechanically. And a properly calibrated 3D printer has very tight tolerances.

            Plus, you can buy a 3D printer for like $100 that does well enough to make one.

              Mmm no they dont. Resin print maybe, but thats just gonna shatter.

                I have no idea why you think a resin printed magazine would shatter.

                Do you know what a magazine is?

                Also, I own a cheap 3D printer that would have absolutely no trouble printing a magazine

                  Cus ive done a lot of resin printing. Its a pretty brittle material not used for making parts for anything. Hell even a resin printed scope would probably shatter just from recoil.

                  I think your printed magazine would jam
