Federal appeals court strikes down California's ban on high-capacity magazines, says restrictions violate 2nd Amendment
'It criminalizes the possession of half of all magazines in America today,' court majority says in ruling
Second Amendment takes center stage in 2020 fight
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.
The state’s law bans possession of large-capacity magazines (LCMs) that hold more than 10 rounds. The court’s three-judge panel said that while the law has a “laudable goal of reducing gun violence,” it must also comply with the Constitution.
IN 'DEFUND POLICE' CITIES WITH RISING CRIME, GETTING A GUN NO EASY TASK: 'NEAR-IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A PERMIT'
“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.”

This lawsuit was brought forward by the NRA and CA. Rifle & Pistol Assc. We have members here that hate the NRA, but without their help, money and attorneys, we would be stuck with another anti gun law. I doubt the CA. Attorney General will request it be forwarded to the Supreme Court due to their political makeup and if the Supreme Court upholds the decision, then it becomes law in all states.
Judge Kenneth Lee, mentioned above in this decision, was appointed by President Donald Trump.
