It’s called Standing and is One of the cornerstones of the US legal system. Basically one must show “damages” in order to challenge the law. The State is very good at manipulating their interpretation of standing to get cases thrown out. For example “We have an obviously unconstitutional law and despite public statements saying we were going to abuse it we have not yet enforced the law therefor nobody can show damages or claim standing” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even though the law has not been tested, it still exists. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
45Doll 5,877 Posted October 11, 2023 His decision has been stayed. And get this: This injunction lasted for one week, in what became known to gun owners in the state as "freedom week," when California residents were allowed to purchase magazines of any capacity. From March 29th through April 5th, California residents purchased approximately 8 million magazines... The emphasis was mine. 9th Circuit Court Stays Lower Court Ruling Banning 'High' Capacity Magazines in California – RedState 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ESB 247 Posted October 13, 2023 https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/court-stays-ruling-on-california-s-ban-on-high-capacity-magazines/ar-AA1iaKwp "The liberal majority on the court wrote that “public interest tips in the favor of a stay” because “mass shootings nearly always involve large-capacity magazines.” Are these judges idiots? Do they not know about Bruen or read what the Supreme Court has said? Courts are no longer allowed to use the 2 step approach and can't use means-ends for 2A cases. WTF? "In the years since, the Courts of Appeals have coalesced around a "two-step" framework for analyzing Second Amendment challenges that combines history with means-end scrutiny. Today, we decline to adopt that two-part approach. . . . Despite the popularity of this two-step approach, it is one step too many. Step one of the predominant framework is broadly consistent with Heller, which demands a test rooted in the Second Amendment's text, as informed by history. But Heller and McDonald do not support applying means-end scrutiny in the Second Amendment context. Instead, the government must affirmatively prove that its firearms regulation is part of the historical tradition that delimits the outer bounds of the right to keep and bear arms."

It seems some members of the very activist 9th circuit Court of Appeals are trying to play games... by skipping over what would be the "usual" next step in this case of a 3-judge panel. This is apparently a very unorthodox move, and they are getting publicly criticized by some of their own judges for this obviously politicized gamesmanship.

BONTA: Federal Judges ATTACK Ninth Circuit for Being UNFAIR - YouTube Even better is Benitez slapping the same opinion on Miller v Bonta. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So does this mean that if you have mags > 10rds at home, that you can't get in trouble since this court said you can't be deprived of the benefit of your property in regards to large capacity mags? Anyone know of any cases where someone got in trouble just for having large capacity mags in NJ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't of a case going to court but I assure if there is a search warrant or consensual search of your home they( the police) do check the mags.

ESB 247 Posted November 2, 2023 I'm sure they do. My point was that if it goes to court because of the mags, their argument above either becomes invalid or you could argue that the court has stated that they can't deprive you the benefit of your property and therefore seizing your mags (and arresting you for them) violates what the court said.
