Federal Judge rules CA magazine restrictions unconstitutional

[camper4lyfe]

Judge Benitez issues a stay of his ruling starting at 5:00pm tonight. The window for Californians to buy standard cap magazines ends at 5:00, but possession of them will remain legal until the appeal to the 9th circuit is complete. No idea if it possession would then remain legal until a SCOTUS ruling is complete if there is another appeal. This will be very interesting to watch. I have no idea how Trump's appointments to the 9th circuit might impact this case. I think I just read something about another rule change allowing his appointments to proceed to a vote? Lots of different moving parts right now.

I'm extremely curious as to why he'd stay his own decision.

You know damn well that it was political pressure exerted by all the states that have magazine bans currently in place.....the Judge's well-written decision will (hopefully) strike ALL magazine bans as unconstitutional. That would lead to a domino effect eventually nullifying almost all other infringements such as bans based on physical features, etc.

Thug with the unusually optimistic post.

This article explains why he probably did it, and it looks like a good move by this explanation.

I do believe I came across that once. It definitely makes sense that he stayed it vs the 9th. That could have turned out UGLY for a LOT of people.

So now how does California prove someone didn't buy their magazine during the window provided by judge Benitez? Seems like he essentially legalized all standard capacity magazines until the 9th circuit rules differently. But, with Trump teed up too appoint 9th circuit judges in the near future, do we know for sure how the 9th will rule on the matter?

My guess is that they would require someone to show a dated receipt for it/them.

Sounds like all kinds of fun. Someone could make money selling fake receipts.

The word on social media is that Judge Lee was one of the "rooftop Koreans" during the 1992 LA riots.
