The LAPD has ceased enforcing California's ban on large-capacity magazines (over 10 rounds) following the Supreme Court's ruling in Bruen and the subsequent remand of the Duncan v. Bonta case. This decision stems from an internal LAPD letter clarifying that sworn personnel should not investigate, detain, or arrest individuals for violations of Penal Code section 32310 subsections C and D. It's important to note this does not legalize the sale or manufacture of such magazines, which remain prohibited under subsection A.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the LAPD no longer enforcing California's magazine ban?

The LAPD has stopped enforcing the California magazine possession ban due to the Supreme Court's ruling in Bruen and the subsequent remand of the Duncan v. Bonta case. An internal LAPD letter directs sworn personnel not to investigate, detain, or arrest individuals for violations of Penal Code section 32310 subsections C and D.

Does the LAPD's decision allow the purchase or sale of large-capacity magazines in California?

No, the LAPD's enforcement halt specifically addresses the possession of magazines over 10 rounds. California Penal Code section 32310, subsection A, still prohibits the manufacturing, importing, selling, and buying of such magazines.

What is the significance of the Supreme Court's action in the Duncan v. Bonta case?

The Supreme Court vacated the Ninth Circuit's ruling in Duncan v. Bonta and remanded the case. This action means the lower court must reconsider the case in light of the Supreme Court's Bruen decision, which has led to the LAPD's updated enforcement policy.
