Judge Lawrence VanDyke of CA's 9th Circuit created a YouTube video to go along with his dissenting opinion about the majority's upholding of the magazine ban in Duncan v Bonta. A bunch of guntubers have posted about it, but the video linked below is the actual video from the 9th circuit, so no gratuitous opinions from media personalities are included (you're welcome).
To summarize, the state argued that magazines with a capacity greater than 10rds are an accessory, and therefore not protected under the 2nd amendment. His video demonstrates that this same logic could be applied to sights, slides, barrels, grip modules, triggers, and other components, which are essential to operation of the firearm. He also notes that this same logic could be applied to the semi-auto action, thereby banning entire classes of firearm.
It's a pleasant surprise to see a judge with a decent comprehension of how firearms function.
