Federal Judge Continues to Overturn California's Ban on High-Capacity Gun Magazines

A federal judge in California has overturned the state's ban on large-capacity ammunition magazines for the second time, ruling that it is unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez argued that the ban lacked a historical basis and violated the Second Amendment. The ruling is stayed for 10 days while it is referred to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. California Attorney General Rob Bonta plans to appeal the decision, but experts believe that laws restricting access to firearms face a tough road ahead. This ruling is the latest blow to California's efforts to restrict access to firearms since the Supreme Court's pro-gun rights decision last year.
