California cannot ban gun owners from having detachable magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, a federal judge ruled Friday.
The decision from U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez won’t take effect immediately. California Attorney General Rob Bonta, a Democrat, has already filed a notice to appeal the ruling. The ban is likely to remain in effect while the case is still pending.
This is the second time Benitez has struck down California’s law banning certain types of magazines. The first time he struck it down — way back in 2017 — an appeals court ended up reversing his decision.
So Iowa doesn’t allow 30-30 or 30-06 rifles for deer? That seems crazy as those are some of the most popular rifles. I believe the round limit is more about encouraging people to take better shots and prevent wounding deer/other game with spray and pray styles.
Correct.
The stated concerns are less “spray and pray” and more the potential for over-travel even on a not-hasty shot.
