Federal Judge Strikes Down California’s Restrictive Gun Magazine Ban
In a significant victory for Second Amendment rights, a federal judge has blocked a California law that sought to prohibit the possession and sale of gun magazines containing more than 10 rounds, deeming it unconstitutional.
Here are the key details: Judge Roger Benitez of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California ruled that individuals have a constitutional right to own magazines with capacities exceeding 10 rounds, and he criticized the state for failing to justify its “sweeping ban.”
A broader perspective: The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution states, “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Response from the left: California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized Judge Benitez as a “right-wing zealot” and urged Congress to consider amending the Constitution to enable the enforcement of stricter gun safety laws.
What comes next? It is expected that California Attorney General Rob Bonta will appeal the ruling. However, if this decision ultimately stands, it could have nationwide implications, impacting states that have already imposed restrictions on the possession of magazines with capacities exceeding 10 rounds.
