David Kopel does some incedible work spelling out the history and original understanding of the Second Amendment. It's tragic that he's a lifelong Democrat, a party whose mission is to undermine ALL our constitutional rights, including those protected by the Second Amendment./rwa

The District Court upheld the ban; part of the Courts analysis stated that magazines did not exist at the time the Second Amendment was ratified. Well, I guess under that logic their is no freedom of speech or the press on TV, radio, the Internet etc since none of those existed when the Bill of Rights was ratified. Also I guess you Mormons or any other religion that came after the Bill of Rights are also out of luck regarding "freedom of religion"....

Taking that logic to its end then we should all be reduced to black powder and muskets. ...
Stupidest thing so far this morning....

Does anyone follow these stupid laws when they are made anyway?
Just feelgood liberal nonsense.

While the State of California outlaws the sale, import, or transfer of such magazines, the Sunnyvale ban goes further, by prohibiting possession of these magazines, with no provision for grandfathering. Why isn't it simply thrown out for beng ex-post facto?

A military-grade rifle with a 20 shot magazines DID exist (and even predated the Constitution) at the time.
The Girardoni air rifle was in service with the Austrian army from 1780 to around 1815.

Of course, that should not matter at all, as basing their decision upon what did or didn't exist at the time is falacious interpretation in the first place. The Federalist Papers, and other writings, spell out the original intent, which is what, and only what, should guide.
