Federal appeals court strikes down California's ban on high-capacity magazines

[Aim1]

Very good.

From the article:

"The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday struck down California’s ban on high-capacity magazines on the basis that its restrictions violate the Second Amendment -- noting that it would criminalize half the magazines in the U.S."

“California’s near-categorical ban of LCMs infringes on the fundamental right to self-defense. It criminalizes the possession of half of all magazines in America today,” the majority in the 2-1 ruling stated.

“It makes unlawful magazines that are commonly used in handguns by law abiding citizens for self-defense. And it substantially burdens the core right of self-defense guaranteed to the people under the Second Amendment,” Judge Kenneth Lee wrote in the majority opinion. “It cannot stand.”

I think with all the appointments to the courts that have been done in the last 4 years. we might see a few more rulings like this. But it's CA. this is going to end up tied up in courts for years I bet.

Does that mean that they are now legal to sell and own out in CA?

I think their next step is SCOTUS.

I think their next step is SCOTUS.

This was a 3-judge panel. The next step in appeals is requesting a hearing before the whole court.
