this is a different argument. The one you saw was at the Ninth Circuit. This is for the trial court which is having hearings at the same time.

Oh, thank you, that explains why a lot of it seemed unfamiliar

I wondered when we'd get a Judge who would link Caetano, Heller, Miller, and McDonald together...

That transcript is quite the entertaining read.

It is a great read. The only thing the state has is intermediate scrutiny, then everything flows from that. Not a Good fit, so what. All of our studies are just conclusions without data, so what don't need it. Logical holes larger than a 50rd drum mag, don't care, doesn't apply.

The best part is where the judge goes and says can I not only toss the grandfathering under the bus but how about the new acquisition ban as well. Of course our side says yes.

If this does go our way I'm sure none of itwill survive the ninth. But if the gun grabbers see that incrementalism doesn't work as each new law can get old ones tossed then they might think twice.

One thing they danced around was why does Law Enforcement need large capacity magazines when the citizenry does not? Why do LEO's end up having absurdly high round counts in LE involved shootings?

Was the average number of rounds used in LE shooting included as part of the record?

That's one area that the Plaintiff and the Judge missed out on and the state's answer would be interesting when contrasted with the citizens' need for self defense in the home setting. What's the practical difference? The majority of LE involved shootings involve a single subject.

I also have some questions:

1) If this Judge issued the initial PI why was he back on the case?
2) Did CA provide the proper answer to the proper scrutiny especially with Fyoc?

I'd like to know what statistics your referring to. Or does it come from your experience watching the news and conversations with others?

"Absurdly high round counts"

I am a proponent of allowing standard capacity magazines to law abiding citizens.

Go execute a warrant in South Central LA with a 10 round magazine, or conduct a high-risk traffic stop with one. These situations do not correlate with the general public's "defense", as these are enforcement measures. There is a need for the good gear in the LE line of work.

Basic principles of your argument apply to "if bad guys don't wear body armor, then neither should we".

Which are all reasons to have larger magazines while on duty but I have yet to see a reason why off duty or even retired officers need more defense than other civilians.

I see no reason why a retired LEO need any more defense than anyone else. The judge pokes a huge hole through the training argument, which it self is off point. Ability isn't need.

Poor word choice on my part perhaps. I'm not finding it at the moment, but there was an FBI study that touched on round counts anecdotally.

If that gang banger from South Central comes to my house with the intent to do harm; the state implies that a 10 round magazine in my Glock 17 is sufficient whereas the responding officer to my distress call is carrying 17 in the same pistol. Is his need for self defense more acute than mine? That is the position the state is taking.

Police officers carry firearms purely for defense of their person, fellow officers, and the public at large. Their defensive needs are no more acute than a citizens' when confronted by the same violent criminal.

Again, using your argument under 1 specific scenario. There are other functions, units and authorities that are beyond the scope of your patrol officer responding to a service call.

In your capacity as a citizen; you won't work as a Undercover Officer for that Drug Buy, work a remote stretch of the border with little to no assistance, execute that warrant on a house full of occupants, or attempt to stop a high speed pursuit on the 405. There is a need to have equipment.

The use of a firearm for defense is the same for oneself, officer and citizen alike. I draw the distinction for a greater need when an officer has to act to stop a crime, or actively work to encounter a specific threat; when a citizen can walk away and not act without repurcussion.

I hope one day you can have a magazine you deem appropriate in capacity.

But your argument of LE should only have access to the same equipment your average California citizen has; because the people they face are similarly equipped is flawed.

Perhaps we should similarly equip our military to fight on a level playing field with advesaries.

Nobody in the world can tell me whether I will face worse odds than a LEO from violent criminals if attacked. Nobody can tell me I will never be attacked, or that I will.

The LEO distinction is a dodge by politicians to keep dissent down and political contributions from unions coming. Any idea that it relates to their safety or mine is night soil.

NYPD has a hit ratio of about 17%. I seem to recall a group of LEO's recently falling all over each other to shoot a guy, firing a total of 65 rounds for zero hits. Certainly there are some very competent officers out there (the TX traffic cop who took on two would-be jihadis with "assault weapons" and body armor with his .45 ACP Glock and won comes to mind) but they are not the norm.

If anything, I have a bigger incentive than a LEO to be careful about placing my rounds, since they have no liability at law except under the most unusual circumstances. I am not so situated, by the will of the same politicians.

The LEO exclusions can be rolled up into a tight little ball and inserted firmly, deeply, into the nether regions of Mr. Becerra et al.

I am happy the judge is doing his duty here. It's nice to see.

The point isn't that the police should have lower capacity magazines it's that the public should have the same capacity magazines as police.

Kinda like, how if smart guns are such a great idea, why aren't LEAs and the military clamoring for them? Why should the general public have less than the State has?

Are you actually defending the state's bastardization of equal protection? I don't know why some of you people have such a hard-on for LEOs and place them on a saintly pure-2A pedestal above the unwashed masses who can't be trusted. The 2A was written precisely to ensure we were all on equal footing, and you celebrate the tilting of the board.

Perhaps you should read my post again, and the one before. I am all for law abiding citizens possessing SCMs.

But the argument put forth "I can't have it, so no one should either", I have a problem with.

Out of curiosity, where do you come down on large capacity magazines (e.g. magazines with capacity > 10 rounds)? By one definition (what qualifies to get on the list of CA-acceptable pistols) SCMs are those with a capacity of 10 rounds or less.

Standard capacity magazines. The same magazines you can get in the great state of Texas.

10,15,30,45 capacity to make you feel warm and fuzzy.

Belt-fed is another matter. Let's not go there.

I'm watching the video now. The panel is NR Smith (Bush), Wallace (Nixon!), and Batts (Clinton). It should be a 2-1 outcome. I'm assuming the same panel that's dealing with the PI appeal would be hearing the case after the district court? If so we will win this and the other side will look at the game theory and not want to take the risk of asking for cert.

Curious, why is Batts, from New York, on this panel? I don't know how these things work.

I'm not brainwashed so I don't consider 11+ rounds to be "large" capacity..

Large capacity would be MORE than what the gun was designed for.. so my Glock with 17 rounds would be STANDARD.. if I had a 25 rnd extended mag it would be large.

My AR would be standard with 30.. large with a 50 round drum..

50 rounds would be STANDARD in my PS90..

See where I'm going.. Don't fall into their nomenclature trap.. it's bad enough that many here call semi-auto AR-patterned rifles "assault weapons".. that was just more brainwashing.

We lost that nomenclature 'battle' in 1999.

In a legal context, California recognizes just 2 classes of magazines: "large-capacity", those with a capacity of more than 10 rounds, is the only one named.

In ordinary conversation, use what you like; in a discussion of California law, refusal to use 'large-capacity' appropriately is the equivalent of refusing to use the word 'speed' in a vehicle code discussion.

Boy, sure wish this line of questioning occurred before any laws were passed. Judges actually seems impartial, not outright adversarial to the 2nd.

What worries me most is the state legal guy so nonchalant about incremental legislation.and his thought on going from the previous law to this. Like the legislation duped law people into the first law and then get to go back and "fix" it.

Good arguments from counselors on both sides, but I give the nod to plaintiff. It seems like the taking clause issue has merit, regardless of the constitutional issue. Wallace seems to have some reservations about that, Smith seems onboard, Batts unknown.

Not impressed with anyone involved when they are basing everything on some kind of payed for garbage study that concluded that large capacity magazines make some kind of difference in terms of public safety. That's not true and a joke in terms of physics and reality.

Net-net from CA9 to CA DoJ: Why are you wasting our time? You (CA DoJ) have a higher burden challenging a PI than for appeal if you lose. Plus, trial could moot the issue before the panel.

My Magic 8-Ball says the panel sits on the case until there is a ruling at DC, then issues a per curium ruling dismissing the appeal on the basis the matter before the court (the appeal of the PI) is moot.

I agree. I’m not really sure what the state is trying to do here. I didn’t understand the logic in their explanation.

Yes, that's what it seemed like. The panel was like, "This is a PI appeal. Why are you wasting our time? We're just going to go over the whole argument again after DC." And the state was trying to say, "These things are really dangerous and it's not a taking, it's a police power!" And the the 9th was saying, "Ok, yeah, but like we just said... aren't those questions we're going to have to resolve after the DC?" "But... it's not a taking, it's a police power!" Etc.

Can someone please give me a succinct current standing on this case please? Clarify the following?

1-the injuction still stands correct?

2- if the injunction stands then the 7-1-18 mag ban can't be implemented ,correct,since an injunction by definition means to stop or cease whatever action is to be taken(?).

3-if this case gets won,then whoever moved grandfathered mags out of state would be able to bring them back in,correct? Since the law was bogus anything affected,ownership, storage location,etc due to it is moot ,correct? Or would the state say uhuh,you moved them and are now trying to re- import them.....but if they remained in state because of the litigation and were ok to use again, could some turd ada,da,le say well you are still being charged with...because you kept them after the deadline..

Thanks just trying for a plain english cliff notes status.

Yes, injunction still stands.

If you legally possessed mags with a capacity > 10 rounds when the injunction issued, you can continue to possess the mags.

This is where there may be a grey area. Regardless of the outcome at DC, there will be an appeal. Depending on what happens during the period of the appeal, mags with a capacity > 10 rounds that were legally possessed before the DC case was filed may or may not be able to be possessed.

Ok,thank you for clarifying and confirming what i had thought was the current status. When reading the legal mumbo jumbo, having some stupid law usurped by a more stupid law,overlapping stuff,etc,can start to boggle the mind...

Now if there can be something done about the roster bs,aw-hate that media invented label-, and others......

Apologies in advance for the long quote from the transcript, but it's worth it.

Thank you so much for providing the transcript. I read the entire thing last night and was thoroughly entertained and inspired. For the Calgunners that don't have time to read the entire thing, I implore you to read the final thoughts from the court (pp. 119 line 24 - 124 line 14) copied below in full. For me, this succinctly and deftly summarizes my frustration with the California legislature and the knee-jerk reaction it has to tragedies that result in the violation of a Constitutionally protected right. It's brilliantly stated, and seeing a judge (and one in the 9th Circuit to boot!) so carefully consider the impact of gun control laws upon law-abiding citizens, gives me hope that we'll see our rights restored even in this state.

Quote:
OKAY. LET ME -- THANK YOU. I THANK YOU BOTH. BY THE WAY, I THINK YOU BOTH HAVE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB. MR. ECHEVERRIA, YOU STOOD UP TO MY WHIP-SAWING YOU FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME THIS MORNING, AND I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE IT. IT'S A SERIOUS CASE, SOME SERIOUS ISSUES. I THINK I CAN ANSWER THE QUESTION OF WHY IT IS THAT JUDGES ALMOST ALWAYS UPHOLD THE STATE'S RESTRICTIONS. WHO WANTS TO BE THE JUDGE WHO -- BY THE WAY, I CAN TELL YOU THAT I RECEIVE MAIL REGULARLY -- WELL, NOT SO MUCH ANYMORE -- PEOPLE TELLING ME THE BLOOD OF THESE CHILDREN WILL BE ON YOUR HANDS AND COMMENTS LIKE THAT. WHO WANTS TO BE THE JUDGE WHO ALLOWS PEOPLE TO CONTINUE TO OWN LARGE CAPACITY MAGAZINES OR ASSAULT WEAPONS OR MACHINE GUNS OR WHATEVER WHO WAKES UP IN THE MORNING AND FINDS OUT THAT SOME OTHER DERANGED PERSON OR SOME TERRORIST HAS KILLED A BUNCH OF YOUNG KIDS OR INNOCENT CHILDREN.

MY CONCERN, MY CONCERN IS THIS: THE BILL OF RIGHTS WASN'T ADOPTED BECAUSE THERE WAS SOME PEOPLE SITTING IN SOME THEORETICAL ROOM SOMEWHERE STROKING THEIR CHIN AND GOING: WELL, I'M GOING TO THINK BIG THOUGHTS TODAY. AND YEAH, I GOT AN IDEA. HEY, I TELL YOU WHAT. LET'S DO THIS. LET'S PASS AN AMENDMENT THAT SAYS THAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT DISARM THE POPULATION. YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

THAT'S NOT WHY IT HAPPENED AT ALL. IT HAPPENED BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE HAD JUST LIVED, THEY HAD JUST LIVED THROUGH AN EXPERIENCE WHERE THE GOVERNMENT, THE VERY GOVERNMENT -- MR. ECHEVERRIA, YOU'RE HERE REPRESENTING THE STATE -- THE VERY GOVERNMENT THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT ITS CITIZENS WAS IN FACT ABUSING ITS CITIZENS, AND IT WAS DOING IT ALL UNDER THE PRETENSE OF LAW.

TAKE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE FOURTH AMENDMENT. THE FOURTH AMENDMENT, THEY WERE USING SOMETHING CALLED THE WRIT OF ASSISTANCE IN ORDER TO COME INTO PEOPLE'S HOUSE WITHOUT PROBABLE CAUSE AND TO SEARCH AND ARREST AND HAUL PEOPLE AWAY. PEOPLE VERY OFTEN FORGET THAT THE FIRST BATTLE OF THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR WAS FOUGHT ON APRIL -- I BELIEVE IT WAS APRIL 19TH, 1775. AND IT WAS FOUGHT, WHY? BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT DECIDED IT WAS GOING TO DISARM, IN THE INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC, IT WAS GOING TO DISARM THE PUBLIC, THE COLONISTS. AND THEY MARCHED UPON LEXINGTON AND CONCORD TO DISARM THE POPULATION.

AND SO WHEN THEY WERE DRAFTING THE BILL OF RIGHTS, THESE PEOPLE WHO HAD JUST LIVED THROUGH THIS EXPERIENCE -- THIS WASN'T THEORETICAL. IT WASN'T HYPOTHETICAL. IT WASN'T SOME BIG THINK TANK MOVEMENT. THEY LIVED THROUGH THIS, AND THEY DECIDED, YOU KNOW, THERE'S CERTAIN THINGS THAT WE WANT TO TELL THE GOVERNMENT THAT THEY CANNOT DO. YOU CAN DO A LOT OF THINGS. YOU CAN TELL PEOPLE YOU CAN'T DRIVE CARS WITH TINTED WINDOWS. YOU CAN TELL PEOPLE THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A GFCI IN YOUR BATHROOM AND EVERY OTHER 20 FEET. YOU CAN TELL ME YOU MUST WEAR A SEATBELT. NONE OF THOSE THINGS ARE PROTECTED BY THE BILL OF RIGHTS.

BUT THE PEOPLE WHO FOUNDED THIS COUNTRY -- WHO IN MY OPINION WERE SOME OF THE SMARTEST PEOPLE EVER ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET -- CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA, CAME UP WITH THIS EXPERIMENT, AND THEY WERE VERY MUCH AFRAID, VERY MUCH AFRAID THAT THEY MIGHT PERHAPS BE FACING IN THE FUTURE THE VERY SAME THING THEY JUST LIVED THROUGH, AND THEY DIDN'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. THEY DID NOT WANT TO THE GOVERNMENT TO TELL THEM WHAT THEY COULD DO AND WHAT THEY COULD NOT DO WITH REGARDS TO CERTAIN THINGS.

NOW WE UNDERSTAND, REALLY, WE UNDERSTAND, OF COURSE, THAT IN THE REAL WORLD, YOU CAN'T HAVE A FIRST AMENDMENT WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS, AND YOU CAN'T HAVE A FOURTH AMENDMENT WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS. BUT JUST THINK ABOUT HOW MANY LIVES COULD BE SAVED IF WE SIMPLY SAID: FOURTH AMENDMENT, THAT'S A NICE THOUGHT, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, WE'RE JUST NOT GOING TO. THERE'S A GREATER PUBLIC INTEREST IN ALLOWING LAW ENFORCEMENT TO BARGE INTO PEOPLE'S HOUSE AND SEARCH THEIR HOUSES WITHOUT PROBABLE CAUSE. FIFTH AMENDMENT. THINK OF HOW MANY MORE CRIMES COULD BE SOLVED, HOW MANY PEOPLE COULD BE SAVED IF WE COULD COERCE CONFESSIONS FROM PEOPLE. YEAH, FIFTH AMENDMENT, YOU KNOW, IT'S A GREAT IDEA, BUT THE PUBLIC INTEREST OUTWEIGHS PEOPLE HAVING THE RIGHT TO NOT INCRIMINATE THEMSELVES.

SO I THINK THIS IS VERY, VERY DIFFICULT BECAUSE WHO WANTS TO SEE CHILDREN BEING SHOT AND KILLED OR OTHER PEOPLE BEING SHOT OR LAW ENFORCEMENT BEING SHOT. BUT SIMPLY BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE STATE GETS TO HAVE ITS WAY HOWEVER IT WANTS, WHENEVER IT WANTS, UNDER SOME RUBRIC THAT, WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S A REASONABLE FIT. BECAUSE, AS I ASKED MR. ECHEVERRIA OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, WHEN IS IT NOT A REASONABLE FIT? HOW DO WE MAKE THAT DECISION?

AND MY QUESTION IS: ARE WE NOT THERE? LOOK AT ALL OF THE LAWS, ALL OF THE REGULATIONS. I'VE LOOKED AT ALL THIS EVIDENCE, AND FRANKLY, WITH ALL OF THE GUN LAWS THAT WE HAVE, AND WE HAVE MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, HAVE WE REALLY DONE ANYTHING AT ALL TO SOLVE THE GUN VIOLENCE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES? AND THE ANSWER IS NO. NO. WE JUST KEEP WHITTLING AWAY AT THE SECOND AMENDMENT, KEEP WHITTLING AWAY, WHITTLING AWAY UNTIL EVENTUALLY WE'LL GET TO THE POINT WHERE WE'LL BE WHERE PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO OWN ONE GUN WITH ONE ROUND OF AMMUNITION BECAUSE ANYTHING ELSE BEYOND THAT WILL BE A REASONABLE FIT.

Now we wait for another 30 and then ten days for a final, final, final decision?

So if I understand correctly, we still have not had a trial on the merits, everything so far has been about preliminary injunctions and motions for summary judgement, correct?

This is word for word I have been telling many gun control advocates for many years. You can save more lives by suspending fourth and fifth. Saving few lives is not a good enough reason.

How some people, or politicians, or judges can argue against that with a straight face is beyond me.

You miss read it .. If you want to suspend the 2nd and save few lives, then you should want to suspend the 4th and 5th to save few lives, but gun control advocates don't want to suspend the 4th and 5th .. They just want to suspend the 2nd.
