A SMALL AMOUNT OF FREEDOM MAY BE RETURNING TO CALIFORNIA

by Bob Walsh

A couple of days ago I saw a brief blurb on the TV news that said the district court of appeals has agreed to reconsider the ban on "high capacity" (actually standard factory capacity) magazines in the formerly great state of California.  Interestingly enough I have been unable to find any further reference to it.  Maybe google doesn't love me any more.

I will post more when I can actually find out more.

FINALLY FOUND SOME MORE ON MAGAZINE BAN REVIEW

by Bob Walsh

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (which isn't as psychotic as it used to be before Trump appointments) acting Thursday set aside a decision made last August by a (divided) three-judge panel of that same court concerning the "high capacity" magazine ban in the formerly great state of California.  An eleven judge panel of that same court will now reconsider the issue.

A lower court had thrown out the ban but the lifting of the ban was stayed pending the state's appeal.  

The current ruling (stayed pending appeal0 says that the ban may have been well-intentioned but that it infringes on the constitutional right to armed self defense.
