California’s ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines has been thrown out by a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
California Rifle & Pistol Association attorney Chuck Michel called Friday’s decision “a huge victory” for gun owners “and [for] the right to choose to own a firearm to defend your family,” according to The Associated Press.
“Even well-intentioned laws must pass constitutional muster,” Judge Kenneth Lee wrote in the ruling.
