A federal judge has struck down a California law banning gun magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. U.S.

California cannot ban gun owners from having detachable magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, a federal judge ruled Friday.

The decision from U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez won’t take effect immediately. California Attorney General Rob Bonta, a Democrat, has already filed a notice to appeal the ruling. The ban is likely to remain in effect while the case is still pending.

This is the second time Benitez has struck down California’s law banning certain types of magazines. The first time he struck it down — way back in 2017 — an appeals court ended up reversing his decision.

    We’re talking magazines, not full guns. Magazines are very simple, mechanically. And a properly calibrated 3D printer has very tight tolerances.

    Plus, you can buy a 3D printer for like $100 that does well enough to make one.

      Mmm no they dont. Resin print maybe, but thats just gonna shatter.

        I have no idea why you think a resin printed magazine would shatter.

        Do you know what a magazine is?

        Also, I own a cheap 3D printer that would have absolutely no trouble printing a magazine

          Cus ive done a lot of resin printing. Its a pretty brittle material not used for making parts for anything. Hell even a resin printed scope would probably shatter just from recoil.

          I think your printed magazine would jam
