Judge Lawrence VanDyke of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit has stirred controversy with a video dissenting California's ban on large-capacity magazines in the Duncan v. Bonta case. The court upheld the ban, stating such magazines are not protected under the Second Amendment. VanDyke's video, where he disassembled guns, criticized fellow judges for their lack of understanding of firearms. While some support him, many view the video as inappropriate. California is recognized for its stringent gun laws, ranking highly on the Giffords Law Center Scorecard, emphasizing its unique position in national gun control.
"Judge Lawrence VanDyke's dissent against California's large-capacity magazine ban not only highlights the complexities of the Second Amendment but has sparked considerable debate on his conduct as a judge."
"California's gun control laws are some of the strictest in the nation, earning an 'A' on the Giffords Law Center Scorecard, which reflects the state's rigorous policies around firearms."
