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.

      Are you planning any mass shootings? Because that’s the only thing AR-15s and large magazines are good for.

        Oh, wow - I’ll have to let my hunting group know our AR-15s chambered in .350 Legend complete with standard magazines just aren’t any good for deer because this rando on the Internet said so.

        Lol no they are not. They’re just plastic rifles, they function the same as any other semi-auto rifle. Lol you anti-2a people are hilarious, you’re so ignorant of firearms and even statistics you end up looking like those idiots who want to ban abortion.

          A hot take from the “it’s because of video games, rap music and buildings having too many doors” crowd.

          You don’t need to be an expert at sexually abusing children to make child abuse laws and you don’t need to know the calibre and capacity of 100 guns to see that the current laws are dogshit and can’t keep guns out of the hands of even the reddest of flags.

            Lol you’re really going to go with “FUDD represents all firearm owners”? If I recall correctly tipper gore is the one who got the labels slapped on CDs…

            You’re arguing with a liberal gun owner, you absolutely should know about weapons you’re trying to ban, because you clearly don’t understand the difference between a plastic semi auto rifle and one with a wood stock… they’re literally the same thing.

            Speaking of red flags, have you gone through your own comment history and tallied up the number of times you’ve talked about sexually abusing children?

            It seems you have a common theme on your mind.

        Actually “self defense” also falls under that umbrella.

        Honestly, for mass shootings, you don’t need the standard capacity mags because you can reload quickly when you don’t have the pressure of return fire. I’d argue you don’t need them for mass shootings but do for self defense against armed targets. Also hog hunting, idpa, uspsa, etc.
