The 9th Circuit refused Wednesday to throw out a ban of large-capacity gun magazines in Sunnyvale, Calif.
Writing for a three-judge panel, Judge Michael Daly Hawkins saw no reason to question the lower court's holing that a law "restricting possession of certain types of magazines burdens conduct falling within the scope of the Second Amendment."
The ban embodied in voter-approved Measure C gave Sunnyvale gun owners until March 6 this year to turn over to police all gun magazines holding more than 10 rounds.
"We think the court got it right," Tony Schoenberg of Farella Braun + Martel, attorney for the City of Sunnyvale, said in an interview. "It applied the right level of scrutiny and recognized the interests served by this law." |

Luck of the draw. Last time, we lucked out with two of the three judges being constructionists.
This time, the socialists lucked out with a panel composed entirely of collectivist activists. |

TO REMEMBER |
| There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
