Federal Judge Overturns California's Ban on 'High Capacity' Firearms Magazines

Federal District Judge Roger Benitez, a George W. Bush appointee and, according to California Governor Gavin Newsom, "an extremist, right-wing zealot with no regard to human life," used a 71-page decision to excoriate California's law and declare it null and void.

"One government solution to a few mad men with guns is a law that makes into criminals responsible, law-abiding people wanting larger magazines simply to protect themselves. The history and tradition of the Second Amendment clearly supports state laws against the use or misuse of firearms with unlawful intent, but not the disarmament of the law-abiding citizen. That kind of a solution is an infringement on the Constitutional right of citizens to keep and bear arms. The adoption of the Second Amendment was a freedom calculus decided long ago by our first citizens who cherished individual freedom with its risks more than the subservient security of a British ruler or the smothering safety of domestic lawmakers. The freedom they fought for was worth fighting for then, and that freedom is entitled to be preserved still"

But will this happen again? GARY
This is not the first time the Prop 63 magazine ban has had a close encounter of the worst kind with the same judge. He struck down the same law in 2020 only to have it reinstated by the Ninth Circuit.
