California Magazine Ban in Trouble; California Exempts Retired Reserve Officers

Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals

In November, 2016, California voters passed a referendum that banned the possession of magazines with a capacity of more than 10 rounds. The ban was immediately challenged in the courts. An injunction against enforcement of the ban was put in effect by a federal district court.

The court challenge claims the ban violates the U.S. Constitution on several grounds, including the Second Amendment. The case is one of several where state and local governments contend that magazines of over 10 rounds fall outside of protection afforded by the Second Amendment.

The State of California appealed the injunction to the Ninth Circuit. A three judge panel of the Ninth Circuit upheld the federal Judge's authority to stop enforcement of the ban. From foxnews.com: July 17th

Second Amendment activists were given a surprise boost this week when the liberal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals backed a lower court’s decision to suspend California’s ban on the possession of large magazines.

Activists, supported by the National Rifle Association, have argued that the state's ban on ownership of magazines holding 10 bullets or more is unconstitutional. They won a preliminary injunction by a San Diego district court last year, and a three-judge panel on the Ninth Circuit backed that injunction Tuesday.

Just a week earlier, the State of California had expanded the definition of who was exempt from the ban. The expansion included retired reserve officers that met certain time requirements. From ca.gov:

Banning old men from looking at magazines? That is ridiculous.

For some, especially the widowers, that may be the only joy they get. Leave the men alone with their magazines. They're not hurting anyone!

. . . banned the possession of magazines with a capacity of more than 10 rounds.

Wow, if they can get in 10 rounds from a single magazine, that is amazing.

More power to them.

The 2nd is in jeopardy at the moment. The reason the Rats are going all out to stop Kavanaugh is to keep the SC at 4-4 until next year. Renegade Judges can run wild and the 9th circus can set precedents including crippling the 2nd.

Someone should concurrently argue that reporters can’t use laptops or recording devices, pictures cannot be published - only drawing, newsrooms can’t use computers, and newspapers shouldn’t be longer than 10 pages...because that’s what things were like at the Founding, ya know.

Magazines without pictures would be useless. What would be the point?

Although some drawings are not bad.

My brother buys 40rd mags and .223 ammo on line and it’s sent to his house FedEx (we live in WA) - he sent an email to his buddy in CA showing the stack of stuff; buddy writes back: “Hey, send me the empty bags the mags came in and also the empty boxes - I can have fun with at a Mall nearby and you’re also a meanie for showing me that.

They'd be pamphlets. But their production would cause the destruction of natural racehorses in the process.
