In line with her comments regarding her personal bias prior to hearing arguments, she determined that magazines aren’t covered by the 2A and even if they were, banning them fits within history and tradition, because… um… yeah, it gets a bit muddy after that. Still waiting on Benitez to issue the opinion in his case.

The worst part about this and similar cases is that we all know how it will end. They clearly understand they don't have a winning case and are just hoping that a court will side with them and there isn't an appeal or more likely that they can drag their feet to delay the inevitable ruling against them.

And they face no repercussions for doing it because they're working on the tax payers dime. If they lose their case they're out nothing.

California has had a large capacity magazine ban for as long as I can remember. Why are you saying we know this ends with it getting overturned when we're seeing more and more states passing these laws and they're all sticking?

Because LCM bans can not be justified under the text history and tradition standard for evaluating restrictions on the 2A set by the US Supreme Court. Bruen has more implications beyond just carry.

That's great as law theory, but in reality they're sticking.
