 Judge Lawrence VanDyke was unimpressed with the majority opinion in Duncan v.
Bonta written by his colleagues, and by appellate counsel for the state
of California. No one is familiar with firearms! He's trying to make a
point about whether a magazine is an accessory or integral to the
operation of a weapon in a case in which there is consideration of the
constitutionality of state laws that limit capacity of magazines. Is
there any effective difference versus the automatic mechanism of a
semiautomatic weapon?
 He demonstrates how guns operate. How did he get all those guns past the
U.S. Marshals into his chambers in the federal courthouse?
 VanDyke was appointed by McConnell, er, Trump in 2020. American Bar
Association rated him "not qualified".

Really, dude?! You're going to quote ABA ratings, which don't rate anyone to the right of AOC as "qualified"?!!
