That stance drew the dissent of a trio of judges appointed by former President Donald Trump: Lawrence VanDyke, Ryan Nelson and Patrick Bumatay. They underscored the national stakes by arguing \u201cthese magazines are lawfully owned by millions of people nationwide\u201d and warning California\u2019s law applying across America would \u201crequire confiscating half of all existing firearms magazines in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n
Newsom response: “Weapons of war don\u2019t belong on our streets,” Newsom tweeted. “This is a huge victory for the health and safety of all Californians.”<\/p>\n
