Commiefornia Magazine Ban Upheld

[Joniki]

It has always amazed me to think people can hold inanimate objects responsible for stupid peoples actions...

As an example:

"The statute outlaws no weapon, but only limits the size of the magazine that may be used with firearms, and the record demonstrates (a) that the limitation interferes only minimally with the core right of self-defense, as there is no evidence that anyone ever has been unable to defend his or her home and family due to the lack of a large-capacity magazine," the ruling states.

Likewise by this standard there would be no evidence that less people are killed in random large scale shootings because the shooter had to change magazines.

I think store owners are going to need higher cap mags if they are going to stop the looting crowds I've seen recently. Way more than 10 people involved in those.

Not that I disagree, but I suspect two or three rounds judiciously placed would slow it down pretty quickly!

It's not about that, really. Never has been. It's not about crime, safety, or "the children," either.

All those so-called "reasons" are just plausible political cover/marketing for the goal of control, of establishing a .gov monopoly on force.

Don't be fooled.

I read the entire ruling. It was full of anti-gun buzzwords and phrases. I'm sure Brady or another anti-gun group wrote much of it and handed it to their pet judges to rubber-stamp. It pretty much ignored the Constitutionality in a few sentences and when on to explain to us simpletons why guns are so bad. They did stay part of the order for 150 days to give time for a writ of certiorari to SCOTUS, and that was the only good news.
