Breaking! Federal Court Finds California Magazine Ban Violates the Second Amendment

In one of the strongest judicial statements in favor of the Second Amendment to date, Judge Roger T. Benitez of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California determined on Friday that California’s ban on commonly possessed firearm magazines violates the Second Amendment.

Awesome news.

Good and even better if the NRA is actually doing something

While I applaud the good news, I'd like to remind everyone this case will be appealed and likely overturned through the 9th Circus.

Given Chief Justice Roberts unwillingness to hear 2nd Amendment cases.... well, here's hoping.

The 9th circus sent it back to that judge for the ruling. Does that make it different?

I don't know. The linked article states the case was referred back to the judge from the 9th circus, then later states it will be appealed to the 9th circus.

I'm not a legal scholar, I just masquerade as one on the interwebs.

It is in California, it will get overturned but maybe, just maybe, it will get heard at the supreme court someday.

And at least we have found a judge that follows the constitution.

The District Judge implemented a stay on enforcement of the law several months ago pending argument and decision on the merits of the case - that stay order was appealed to the 9th Circuit on an expedited basis. The panel declined to overrule his stay and sent the case back to him to rule on the merits of the case.

This is his ruling on the merits of the case.

The defendant (the State AG of California) can now appeal this case on the permits to the 9th Circuit. I expect they'll hear arguments sometime in 2020 and rule a few months later. This case could then be before SCOTUS in 2021 or 2022 - conservatively.

Trump has the 9th circus in his crosshairs . He is actively appointing judges to turn the 9th into a more conservative court.

But he also gave us a bump stock ban which sets very bad precedent

Yep I agree . Trump isn't as staunch on the 2ND as I would like him to be . As I have said before , I don't trust any politicians or the political class in general !
I don't own a bump stock . Personally I don't want one and yes they are fun to play with .
As long as I'm not paying for the ammo !
I don't like that they are a banned item .
Personally if the NFA disappeared tomorrow . I would buy a select fire weapon, if I could afford one .
But I would only hit the fun switch rarely .
