Judge Lawrence VanDyke released the video after a California appeals court upheld a ban on high-capacity gun magazines.

A Trump-appointed appellate court judge broke with his colleagues in a California gun case by posting a "dissent video" to YouTube of him manipulating firearms in his judicial chambers.

Judge Lawrence VanDyke of the 9th Circuit said he made the video to convey a “conceptual point” about how guns work. His colleague called it “wildly improper.”
