Hi,
Some of Judge VanDyke's comments are in the text here:

He's trying to school the liberal judges on how guns work and why the mag ban is an inappropriate result of their testing criteria.
Thank you for your indulgence,

WATCH: Trump-appointed judge chides colleagues' ignorance on guns in unique video dissent
Judge Lawrence VanDyke says his 9th Circuit colleagues lack a 'basic familiarity with firearms' and recorded a video with a gun to supplement his dissent in a gun rights case.

In the 18-minute video, VanDyke took apart and put together various handguns while making the case that a gun magazine, regardless of capacity, is part of the gun itself and is therefore protected by the Second Amendment.
The judge then went on at length to discuss the gun’s “iron sights” — alignment devices that assist with aiming a gun. He argued that this commonly used sighting system could be replaced with a “red dot optic” that would make the gun “work better” for lawful purposes.
VanDyke ended the video by saying that, “California’s argument, which the majority has unwisely adopted here, is based on the unstated assumption that there is some basic — I guess unadorned without any accessories — firearm that would be protected under the Second Amendment,” and that such a misunderstanding would allow the state to “ban the entire mechanism altogether,” thereby, “forcing everyone to use revolvers or single shot handguns.”

I have a Ruger that came with a bright orange dummy mag. I guess I could breech load it one round at a time. Shot placement is key.
