The ninth circuit has upheld Judge Benitez's ruling that the "high capacity" magazine ban in CA is an infringement of the right to keep and bear arms protected by the Second Amendment. Yes, the ninth circuit. Only a three-judge panel, though, and the vote was 2-1. Anyway, here's the opinion:

So for a while, at least, we may experience a bit of freedom here in our socialist worker's paradise.

I'm hopeful that it won't get overturned. (I'm in Maskachusetts that has had a "high capacity" ban for decades)

Let's hope this stands and spread to other Communist states like NY, NJ, MD, CT, etc.

I hear ya--I'm hopeful, too.
It's been estimated that Californians legally bought over one million magazines during the week from the time of the initial ruling to the time it was put on hold. That adds, of course, to the millions of magazines that were already in the state. Two observations:
One, how could the California state legislature possibly think that making magazines illegal can reduce crime? The CA state attorney general, in his response to this most recent ruling, said that the magazine ban "keeps Californians safe". I am not making this up.
Two, why is there never a bloodbath in (almost) the whole rest of the country? You know--the states that don't have these draconian laws.
Anyway, if you are in the market for magazines, you'd better buy them now, because if the hold is taken away Californians are going to cause a nationwide shortage of the things.
