If you want to read a great opinion on a stupid law, read the opinion that laid the injunction on the stupid California ban on magazines that hold more than 10 bullets...it is a great read for the common sense the judge shows and the smack down he gives the anti gunners.
Now, a 3 judge panel of the infamous 9th circuit upheld the injunction against that stupid magazine ban...
Ninth Circuit Upholds Injunction Against California 'High Capacity' Magazine Ban - The Truth About Guns
In late June, a US District Court judge issued a preliminary injunction blocking a ban on possession of magazines holding more than ten rounds of ammunition in California. The ban was passed as part of Proposition 63 which also instituted background checks for ammunitionpurchases. The “high capacity” magazine ban would have outlawed untold millions of mags already legally owned by California gun owners.
As Judge Robert Benitez wrote at the time, implementing the law would have resulted in “hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of otherwise law-abiding citizens will have an untenable choice: become an outlaw or dispossess one’s self of lawfully acquired property.”
Today, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit upheld that injunction in a 2 to 1 decision. Here’s the California Rifle and Pistol Association’sannouncement of the ruling.
Ninth Circuit Upholds Preliminary Injunction Against
Newsom’s Standard Capacity Magazine Ban
In another blow to Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom’s anti-gun agenda, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit issued a ruling in the caseof Duncan v. Becerra on Tuesday, upholding a lower court’s decision to suspend enforcement of Proposition 63’s restriction on the possession of magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds.
Following the enactment of Proposition 63, CRPA attorneys sought an injunction against the magazine possession ban, arguing that the law violated the Second Amendment, as well as the due process and takings clauses of the United States Constitution. Federal District Court Judge Roger T. Benitez agreed, issuing a preliminary injunction just days before the law was set to take effect. California quickly appealed the decision.
