The Ninth Circuit has upheld California's ban on standard-capacity magazines, ruling that magazines are accessories and not 'arms' protected by the Second Amendment.

The speaker argues this sets a dangerous precedent, potentially leading to bans on various firearm components based on subjective safety interpretations.
