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.
LOL, in the same sentence even. Pick one.
And are you the arbiter of my needs? Lay eyes on any apex predators this weekend? I did. Camp on a lonely riverbank far from any sort of civil authority? I did. Bet conservatives have plenty to say about what you do or don’t need. Want them to choose for you?
I’m a liberal and have an AR-15 “assault rifle”. If it comes to defending my life, or the life of another, you wish for me to have second best? Are you proposing I bring a “knife” (lesser weapon) to a gunfight? You are aware that conservatives, who have been quite vocal about killing political adversaries, are well armed? Who do you wish to disarm? Citizens that obey the law? Because those are the only folks you’re going to restrict.
Plenty of other reasons to own an AR-15, but we may be headed towards a time when an American Gestapo is real. Will you be able to fight back when they come knocking? If it’s death or concentration camp, I choose fight.
And speaking of my AR, know why I got it? Fellow libs sold it to me! They shit themselves screaming BAN! after Uvalde, figured I’d better get mine in case they got their way. Hell, I had ~30 guns before that, and no interest in an AR. Good job?
While we’re at it, if libs would stop screaming for bans of ridiculous things like magazines, maybe they would win every election in a landslide. I suppose your morals are more important than winning. And that’s a conservative take if I ever heard one.
This man is talking about you:

It was your choice to camp there and potentially interrupt nature by shooting apex predators. Don’t bring up the safety argument if you’re going to do that
I’ve also had a black bear cruise in my dog door, presumably, according to the regional Fish & Wildlife guy, to eat my pet mini pig. Guess I have no business living on the edge of town?
Also, had to shoot a wild boar that was tearing into my property and terrifying my pet. How, pray tell, would you have dealt with that situation? And keep in mind, the civil authorities all told me, “Not our problem, we don’t handle wild pigs, all on you.”
So where exactly am I perfectly safe? In the white-bread suburbia where you live with your parents?
And if nothing else, gun laws always have been wildly racist in their origins and enforcement. Bet you’re A-OK with all that! (Or more probably, don’t know or care.)
Buddy, you said you are a liberal.
Thank god you’re one of the actually sane ones, but you should know better than anyone that you are not going to argue a liberal down. Liberals tend to be the most set in their political beliefs.
You will not get anywhere with this argument, take my advice and leave. Take my advice, this happens to me all the time.
You must be real proud of yourself with that one. I live in a rural area on a large property with wild animals, it is possible to hire people to deal with the threat posed by wild animals, forgoing the risk of having firearms in your house
And what tools do those people who deal with the threat use to deal with the threat?
