Judge blocks California's ban on high-capacity magazines

An AR-15's slide release is a button just above the magazine well. It wouldn't even add a second to the time it takes to reload to hit it. As for drawing from being stowed, people in competitive shooting literally train to retrieve magazines from mag pouches on their belts and chest as fast as they can because of the desire to shave milliseconds off their time in these competitions. It's something that, certainly, a mass shooter could train for as well.
I think a lot of it stems from the fact that they aren't "high capacity" in most cases.
15 rounds is standard for a lot of 9mm/.40 pistols.
30 or 20 rounds are standard for many semi automatic rifle platforms.
Those are just standard capacity. They are cheaper in many cases than their CA compliant counterparts.

On Thursday, Judge Roger Benitez "ordered that the Judgement is stayed in part pending final resolution of the appeal from the Judgement." The order goes into effect at 5 p.m. on Friday, meaning the magazines will, once again, be illegal, until a final judgement is made.
