A majority of state attorneys general joined forces with the Arizona legislature to urge the U.S. Supreme Court to rule in favor of standard-capacity gun magazines.
Breitbart News reported that twenty-six top prosecutors signed off on the brief to protect “plus-ten magazines.” There are tens of millions of these popular accessories in use nationwide, and they are essential not only to sport shooters but also to the self-defense strategies of millions of Americans.
The case centers around a Washington state gun dealer.
Gun dealer valiantly fights state’s ban on standard capacity magazines
State of Washington v. Gator’s Custom Guns wound its way through the courts with conflicting decisions. Now, the defendants filed a petition with SCOTUS for a potential review of the state Supreme Court’s May decision.
The justices reversed a lower court ruling and upheld the controversial state ban on magazines with a capacity of more than ten rounds.
Monday’s brief supports Gator’s Custom Guns, Inc. and insists that the Second Amendment covers these popular sporting rifle accessories. The AGs want the high court to reverse the Washington Supreme Court’s decision.
SCOTUS could rely on Bruen to rule in favor of gun rights
The 26 states filing the brief expressed their demand “to safeguard citizens’ constitutional right to keep and bear arms against unnecessary intrusions.” This includes the people’s right to enjoy access to modern firearms and standard accessories such as plus-ten magazines.
The attorneys general, along with the Arizona legislature, relied on 2022’s U.S. Supreme Court Bruen decision to support their argument. “There’s a long-standing history and tradition of law-abiding Americans owning and using these magazines for self-defense.”
If SCOTUS were to act decisively in favor of gun rights, it would go far toward untangling the mess created by anti-gunners and their attempts to tear down the Second Amendment.
There’s no better way to show your patriotism than with merch that speaks before you do.
Defend America is more than a name, it’s a stand for freedom, resilience, and the values this country was built on. Every tee, hat, and mug is a symbol of unapologetic pride. Wear it loud, wear it proud, and let the world know: freedom isn’t negotiable.
