US District Court Judge Roger Benitez declared California's ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds unconstitutional. He found no historical precedent for such regulations and stated it severely restricted the right to self-defense.

What is the legal basis for challenging magazine capacity restrictions in the US?

Did the Supreme Court directly rule on magazine capacity limits in the Bruen decision?
