The few places I’ve checked are either not updated yet or waiting to see how fast the 9th takes this up.

Reading the ruling text makes me feel warm and fuzzy, though. And most of us in Cali stocked up beforehand.

He’s a mod, lives in California, generally likes guns, and I imagine he’d be delighted by this ruling.

Yeah, the gun grabbers screwed up. They banned simple \*possession. \* Making many californians criminals. They could have banned the _sale_, that likely would have worked.

Hurricane. So, do you have a point?

Is there a reason you started this tread and want to express an idea. Please do.

I’m a Democrat/liberal gun owner. And I couldn’t care less.

It’s standard time they came to their senses. It’s impossible to say with a standard degree of certainty that this settles the issue, but I have standard hopes it will be.

I’m sure the Democrats will keep trying their gun-grabbing standard jinks, but today is a good day. I’m gonna celebrate by cranking the music up as standard as it goes and getting really standard.

The gun-grabbers screwed up? Aren’t they the ones opposing this? Democrats, by and large, don’t like grabbing guns. That’s a Republican position.

Anyone remember Charleton Heston’s cold dead fingers?

But the judges actual decision is a thing of beauty.

Californians who want banana clips drive to Arizona. The inspection stations as you enter the State of CA only care if you have fruit or vegetables in your possession.

It’s breaking news (apparently of the flavor that some Democrats / liberals in Colorado don’t really care about). California’s magazine ban has been a nuisance / annoyance / hardship to California gun owners, and seeing it struck down is exciting for them. The point was to inform, and possibly carry on some discussion about it. If you don’t want to, no one is going to make you participate.

I don’t know if posting links is allowed, but there are a bunch of online retailers now accepting orders for standard-capacity magazines from California.

I am surprised, and wish I went into profiteering a week ago. Ah, well. Most of the big retailers have been selling, except for last I checked the Cheaper than Dirtbags.
