Cross post: Judge blocks California's high-capacity ammunition ban
https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142295457High-capacity gun magazines will remain legal in California under a ruling Friday by a federal judge who cited home invasions where a woman used the extra bullets in her weapon to kill an attacker while in two other cases women without additional ammunition ran out of bullets.
"Individual liberty and freedom are not outmoded concepts," San Diego-based U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez wrote as he declared unconstitutional the law that would have banned possessing any magazines holding more than 10 bullets.

After 1.5 million standard capacity magazines were sent to Cali. Now the 9th gets to come up with a reason why Judge Benitezs' ruling was unconstitutional. They better make it a good one or this may go to scotus 
He also stipulated in the stay that the magazines purchased during the 8 days between his ruling and the stay were legal and people that bought them couldn't be prosecuted under the California standard capacity magazine ban law.
