Make Mass Murder Great Again
By 
This opinion written by Trump nominee Kenneth Lee is the future Republicans want:
A federal appeals court on Friday struck down California’s ban on high-capacity magazines — those holding more than 10 bullets — finding that it “runs afoul of the Second Amendment.”
“(E)ven well-intentioned laws must pass constitutional muster,” Judge Kenneth K. Lee wrote in the 66-page decision. “California’s near-categorical ban of LCMs (large-capacity magazines) strikes at the core of the Second Amendment — the right to armed self defense.
[…]
The three-judge panel was divided 2 to 1 in its ruling. Judge Barbara Lynn dissented, finding that the majority opinion conflicted with prior decisions from the courts. She also wrote that California’s law “does not place a substantial burden on core Second Amendment rights because it does not prevent the use of handguns or other weapons in self-defense.”
The Giffords Law Center for the Prevention of Gun Violence notes that large-capacity magazines were used in several of the deadliest mass shootings in modern U.S. history, including the ambush at a Las Vegas concert venue that killed 58 in 2017, an attack in an Orlando nightclub that killed 49 in 2016, and a massacre at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school that killed 20 children and six adults.
Magazines that hold more than 10 bullets have been illegal to sell, manufacture, import or transfer in California since 2000. In 2016, the Legislature passed a bill that would make ownership of the gun parts an infraction.
The good news for now is that the failure of the Supreme Court to grant cert on multiple 2nd Amendment cases suggests that the four other conservative justices think that Roberts isn’t with them to start pushing Second Amendment doctrine to be more aggressive than Heller. If Republicans are ever able to get a sixth vote, thought, gun control laws are going to start going the way of campaign finance reform laws.
