In this screengrab taken from a video, Judge Lawrence VanDyke holds a gun in a video uploaded on March 20, 2025 as a part of his dissent in 23-55805 Duncan v. Bonta, an opinion ruling that California’s law banning gun magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition can remain in place. The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 7-4 that the law was permissible under the Second Amendment because large-capacity magazines are not considered “arms” or “protected accessories.”
