What about all of us felons that have then in the mail for delivery? If he grants the stay, we will sufffer harm.

Hopefully the district judge doesn't fall for it and waits at least a few weeks to decide.
He should wait till Trump fills all the vacancies. That would be a delicious taste of comeuppance.

The very *best* part about all these magazines having been bought up, is that the overwhelming majority of them are coming in from out-of-state - which means the state will see but a scant portion of the sales tax that would have been collected had the magazines been sold in state.

I hope that there's a reliable estimate of the number of magazines sold that comes out to assist in further "rubbing in" the fact that all that sales tax was lost...

I've turned this into a news thread, lets keep discussion to a minimum and keep it clean and tidy. Report new developments or media stories, etc.

If you want to discuss this go to the discussion thread.

If you want to see a list of retailers go to this thread.

I hope you're wrong too. But that sounds like a reasonable point of view.

I'm just saying... if he does grant the stay, he is admitting that LCMs pose a public threat and should be banned. That's the AG's entire argument for the stay. By granting the stay, the judge must concede that point.

I still don't understand what the basis is for the appeal? Is it just, I don't like your decision so I appeal? What is claimed to be wrong or amiss with the decision that warrants an appeal?

But now, anything manufactured prior to 2019 is safe. This essentially reset the manufacture-test clock from 2000 to 2019. All these PMags are up for grabs.

If/when the time comes, will we return in kind for him?

So if a person has mail incoming should they buy a hurricane door from Florida and install it expecting a visit. seems like the DOJ is stark crazy mad and wants blood. Can anyone gage how butt hurt nesome and the AG's office are? Their social feed has been kind of quiet and the normal liberal rags have been silent. (the trace, mothers, giffords)

I believe he's a "Senior status" on the bench so he's kinda got nothing to lose professionally. I find it amusing that's likely part of his motivation to set these mofos straight on the Constitution for once and for all.

A preliminary injunction can only be overturned if a very high burden is met. A final appealable order can be overturned much easier.
Yeah, this went on appeal to 9CA once already and they kicked it back to Benitez for judgement. What a judgement they got though... so the trick will be to see how 9CA plays this card... do they want this to advance to SCOTUS or not?

The way I see it, Gavin/Becerra are young and ambitious enough to lay it all out on the line for the glory... in Gavin's words... "be bold."

Question for the legal eagles. What keeps benitez from allowing a stay without any teeth. This is hard to articulate, but could Benitez say "stay granted to allow the enforcement of no part of the penal code." Essentially he'd call it a stay, but it's not a stay. He could even be more direct like stay granted but the citizens shall be free to acquire, buy, sell, x, y, z."

Is that even possible? If so, a stay would then be in place that perhaps the 9th could not touch? Yeah, it's playing dirty......but dirty is all we got.

We should start a drive collecting all the 10 round magazines that have been replaced with free state magazines. We than place small “Join the NRA” sticker on them and place them all around the state capital under our 1st Amendment rights as free speech.

The laughable point in Becerra's whining request for stay is " individuals will be free to acquire new LCMs".

Yeah, EXACTLY, you dolt!

The irony.

This idiot law to get rid of mags has them flooding into the state.

From their perspective, they really should have left well enough alone.

Biggest gun control fail ever.

It would be better if these 10 round mags were unblocked (where possible) during this window

This is so funny

When the law banning possession became law, the plaintiff sought an injunction arguing the need to preserve the status quo.. the state argued against it.

Now with this new judgment the state is requesting a stay to preserve that same status quo they argued against before and the plaintiffs are arguing against it. Lol

Some nit-wit banned 50bmg rifles once upon a time.

That cost more than this. Not by much, but more.

You sir have said it the best. I can only pray to God for Judge Benitez to read your post.

Can I convert a 10 round mag into a 30 round mag? I have a Hexmag that I can remove the limiter and replace the spring with a longer 30 round spring and it is now high capacity. Is this allowed or do I have to purchase a manufactured high capacity magazine?

As I understand the ruling, yes, you can do that now. It is now standard capacity, btw, not high capacity. Do not use the (misleading, dishonest) legal terms if you can.

If you listen to some folks here, most of us will be dead before this is resolved as they nit pick away at every PC, probably as they pass ever more PCs. Or you can take the holistic view that says this unconstitutional BS will not stand, and the kimono has come off.

Otherwise they will just keep adding more nuisance laws, more parts laws, etc. If you believe every single one of these PCs must be litigated before any relief can be had, then I’m not even sure why we bother fighting them. Because they aren’t going to stop until there is a Come to Jesus moment - and if this Duncan ruling isn’t one then I don’t know what will ever be.

If you purchased the springs by them selves it was fine. I've ordered replacement springs for my 25 year old (15 rd) 5906 mags and there was no issue.

But I would think a replacement spring for an already existing high cap mag would be different than buying a different spring to convert a low cap mag into a high cap mag

Hear hear!! Going around, completely legal following the laws, but somehow followed by some uneasy feeling that you are doing something wrong.

It's disgusting. Another persecuted minority.

I never feel that way when I'm at my home in Arizona.

Sure, buy a spare part, should be legal - seems like common sense right?

But this is CA. The law says you buy a DEVICE or A KIT, capable of converting the mag = crime. Read it again. I cited it and bolded the parts you need to read. Read those bold words as one sentence because the law is written for them to be read that way.

Here you go, condensed to the subject at hand but the meaning nor effect has been altered:

32311.
(a) Except as provided in Article 2 (commencing with Section 32400) of this chapter and in Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 17700) of Division 2 of Title 2, commencing January 1, 2014, any person in this state who knowingly buys any large capacity magazine conversion kit is punishable by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) or imprisonment in a county jail not to exceed six months, or by both that fine and imprisonment. This section does not apply to a fully assembled large-capacity magazine, which is governed by Section 32310.


(b) For purposes of this section, a “large capacity magazine conversion kit” is a device including, but not limited to, the spring, capable of converting an ammunition feeding device into a large-capacity magazine.

He's right. Any thing, aka device, that is a component of a normal magazine, is illegal to acquire.

It may well be but practically speaking there is no difference. How is Brownells going to know what I'm putting the spring in? They don't. All that matters is what I actually did with them. I was not prohibited from buying the springs but then I wasn't buying a disassembled "high cap" (which is all that the rebuild kits are) only a few individual parts that did not include the mag body.

EDIT: some things were posted as I was typing...I must have bought my springs and base plates after they changed the law...I'm glad I did but that jive about no parts at all ... what bs! I'm glad we are finally making headway against bad laws.

You are preaching to the choir. But just because someone will ship you something doesn’t make it legal to import. Don’t ever get that twisted. Plenty of people will send you butterfly knives or nunchucks or fireworks.

I could make a spring from spring wire, does that make the spring wire illegal? Don’t ask Gavin Newsom or Becerra that question - you might not like the answer. This is CA, there will be no logic, only obedience.
