quote [ "Individual liberty and freedom are not outmoded concepts," San Diego-based U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez wrote as he declared unconstitutional the law that would have banned possessing any magazines holding more than 10 bullets. ]
This does not mean you can put a normal sized 30rd Magazine on a featureless rifle because it still becomes an Assault Weapon under California law by virtue of being able to hold more then 10rds.

The "common sense" argument why you shouldn't ban high-capacity magazines is that bad guys can reload, so it doesn't really make a difference.
Then this court case strikes down a high-capacity ban because threatened homeowners can't put the phone down to reload. Seems like it's not a great argument if it can be used to defend both sides of the issue. |

Update the AG asked the Judge for a stay and he granted it effective Friday the 5th minus making owning the magazines illegal. My rough estimate is 30 million magazines were sold to Californians in the last week.
