A federal judge applies common sense against California’s ban on Magazines that could hold more than 10 rounds. California passed a law back in 2000 that prohibited people from owning these magazines. Those who previously owned these magazines were allowed to continue owning them. However, in 2016, both the California Legislature and California’s voters voted to remove that exception.<\/p>\n
U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez placed a hold on that ban pending his review. He ultimately decided that it was unconstitutional to ban such magazines. He mentioned a situation where a woman was able to fend off her attackers with a “high-capacity magazine”.<\/p>\n
From USA Today:<\/span><\/p>\n Benitez ruled that magazines holding more than 10 rounds are “arms” under the U.S. Constitution, and that the California law “burdens the core of the Second Amendment by criminalizing the acquisition and possession of these magazines that are commonly held by law-abiding citizens for defense of self, home, and state.”<\/p>\n Benitez described three home invasions, two of which ended with the female victims running out of bullets.<\/p>\n In the third case, the pajama-clad woman with a high-capacity magazine took on three armed intruders, firing at them while simultaneously calling for help on her phone.<\/p>\n “She had no place to carry an extra magazine and no way to reload because her left hand held the phone with which she was still trying to call 911,” the judge wrote, saying she killed one attacker while two escaped.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Of course, the usual suspects are not happy. More from USA Today:<\/span><\/p>\n In a statement, Newsom criticized the judge’s ruling.<\/p>\n “This District Court Judge’s failure to uphold a ban on high-capacity magazines is indefensible, dangerous for our communities and contradicts well-established case law,” the governor said. “I strongly disagree with the court’s assessment that ‘the problem of mass shootings is very small.’ Our commitment to public safety and defending common sense gun safety laws remains steadfast.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n You can read more details in this USA Today link<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
