Fed Judge blocks CA magazine ban

[CAJUNLAWYER]

Why don't y'all read the actual opinion? http://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Calif.Guns_.pdf

A few things about Federal Judges:
They are appointed for LIFE and unless they do something illegal they cannot be removed from office. This allows them to do the correct thing (which is why it is so important to appoint Judges that are not activists and understand that the third branch id the government does NOT make laws). Therefore this guy did NOT go out on a limb and jeopardize his job-nor does he have big balls, only that apparently in California there are some sane members of the judiciary.
Next; preliminary injunctions are NOT granted unless the likelihood of prevailing is good. There was a contrary decision reached in Northern California so I suspect tat the 9th will take this up quickly and then Kennedy who oversees the 9th will be the point man on the Supreme Court to which review will be sought. He came down on our side in Heller so This may very well be THE case. I really liked what this judge said in the opinion and everyone ought to read it.

Tea leave reading after cert was denied in Peruta, I don't see Kennedy as solidly pro 2A. I think he is 2A up to a point, but I don't know what that point is. Which is why I think Roberts and Alito voted against cert for Peruta. Thomas is solidly pro 2A and is less concerned about vote counting. Which is why he wrote a dissenting opinion. Gorsuch is Pro 2A, and I think he wanted to demonstrate that which is why he joined Thomas.

Kennedy has not hired clerks for the 2018 term, which some people take as a sign that he is going to retire.

I think we are a conservative appointee away from THE case on 2A matters.

Again, just some tea leave reading on my part.

This case only applies to California where their gun owners had legally previously owned magazines that held an excess of ten rounds. Currently there are several states that have enacted laws restricting legal handgun owners to possess only those magazines containing no more than ten rounds.
