We prove the uniform boundedness of averaged total cross sections or of quantities related to scattering into cones in the semi-classical limit for scattering by two dimensional magnetic fields. We do not necessarily assume that the energy under consideration is in a non-trapping energy range in the sense of classical dynamics.
