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.

    Right. But, proportionally speaking, who is significantly more likely to go on a shooting spree because they ‘feel like they have nothing to live for, so they take their frustration out on society’?

    Is it going to be your exceptions, or my rules?

      Why does it only matter if they go on shooting sprees for the reasons convenient to you?

        Because addressing why people want to throw their lives away and kill others is important to solving the problem.

        You say “convenient to me.” That’s cute, you’re trying to make this all about me, lol.

        What’s “convenient for me” is these problems not existing in the first place. Wish that didn’t need to be spelled out for you.
