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.

    Then why isnt this a problem in say, switzerland? They have lax gun laws as well, but you dont really hear about mass shootings there. This is a mental health issue.

        Owning a 2nd or 5th gun doesn’t make one magically murderous. The fact that guns are widely owned in Switzerland and they don’t have the same crime issues proves something else is at play. The highest crimes areas in the US are the poorest, it’s fundamentally an economic issue to be solved. Make sure people have a happy and fulfilling life and many, many fewer people choose to murder.

      Because nobody has ammo in Switzerland.

      And everyone who owns a gun got one during their military training.

      So they are trained and ammoless.

      Switzerland isn’t the argument you ammosexuals think it is.

        What are you talking about? Gun owners can freely buy ammo in Switzerland.

        Are you referring to the fact that military-owned ammo stays on the military base? If so, I would like to emphasize we are talking about civilian ownership and civilians can buy ammo.
