Court upholds California ban on high-capacity magazines

A panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld California's ban on high-capacity magazines in a split decision that may be headed for the U.S.

"The majority reasoned 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; and ... the limitation saves lives.”

Minimally vs shall not be infringed. The incrementalalism mentality is astounding. A minimal infringement is an infringement.

No surprises here, the 9th circus is the most overturned court in the land for a reason.

“No evidence of large mags needed for self defense” but do they have evidence that 10 round mags save lives?
I highly doubt it!!

Exactly. The scrutiny standard is when the government decides to limit a constitutional right , they must show the general need, that it is effective, and there is no other reasonable alternative. It is not for the person to prove the need for their rights.

Interesting but as speedkills27 said, don’t expect any help from SCOTUS.

Yeah, what the hell do you need as many rounds as you can get for?

I highly doubt it!!

Conversely if limiting mag capacity saves lives doesn’t it help you with self defense? It can’t really do one without the other can it?

And they have to repeat the "the limitation saves lives" lie, as if saying it often enough would make it true.

Note how he accepts that premise without any evidence, but demands proof for someone being unable to defend themselves ?

Well that's obvious bullshit.

If 10 round low capacity magazines are all one needs then why does California allow law enforcement to have standard capacity magazines? Also why is California law enforcement allowed to buy new unsafe off roster pistols?

 

[pshift]

Soooo......, I'm sure that these will no longer be allowed in CA? 100 rounds anyone?
