Title: California's magazine capacity law is (once again) off the books

This went all the way up to the SCOTUS, who kicked it back down to the Ninth Circuit to be reviewed under Bruen. The Ninth Circuit then punted it back to Judge Benitez, who knocked it out of the park.

I saw part of the ten day wait was that at the end, Benitez might also toss the handgun roster, which in many ways, would be a bigger win for CA than an end to the magazine ban.

Yes, but this time the SCOTUS has already told the 9th Circus that their original decision was wrong, and gave them a re-do. The 9th Circus, in turn, sent it back to Beniitez for a re-do taking into account Bruen. Which he has done -- in spades. He didn't just dissect the state's historical analogues, he eviscerated them. He basically told the state that, 'Not only do your historical analogs NOT prove your case, they conclusively prove the other side's case."

It's going to be difficult for the 9th Circus to reverse on appeal again, after having gotten their wrists slapped once already.
