Another California Law Question

Interesting that so few Californians seem to realize we no longer have a 10 round capacity limit. The ban on hi-cap mags was struck down by Judge Benitez in the same ruling in which he struck down California's "possession" law, AND California's ban on purchasing hi-cap mags (AKA: standard capacity).

This is why back in April we all had a week-long BUYING SPREE where we bought countless larger capacity mags until Benitez issued a PARTIAL stay to his injunction against California's entire magazine scheme. The ONLY thing he stayed was the restriction on purchasing hi-cap mags, nothing else. All magazines bought during the one-week window were and are completely legal as are ALL hi-cap mags possessed by everyone in the State. The fact that the law remains on the books notwithstanding, the ban on possession of hi-cap mags is currently reversed pending appeal by the full 9th Circuit. Since taking office, Donald Trump has already appointed something like nine or more new judges to the 9th Circuit, and already we are seeing the court swing from full-on liberal-activist to one guided by the Constitution. It's unlikely the "new" 9th will reverse Benitez, since this is the SECOND time he has ruled against California on the magazine issue. The remaining liberals on the court also know Brett Kavanaugh awaits should they rule against their own and it go up to SCOTUS.

Magazines are not serial numbered and there is no requirement to show proof of purchase.

So for now, new guns will only come with 10 round mags since that comes under purchasing. But "we" can have all the 15, 17, 22, and 33 round mags we want. The exception being all those "registered" assault rifles which are still limited to 10 rounds based on the latest features definition of the law.
