• Case of Note

State of Washington v. Gator's Custom Guns

Docket number
102940-3
Date

Washington Supreme Court reversed a lower court and upheld the state’s ban on selling or manufacturing magazines that hold more than ten rounds of ammunition. The majority held that large-capacity magazines are “not” arms within the scope of the state or federal constitutional right to bear arms, and the ability to purchase them is not “necessary to the realization of the core right to possess a firearm in self-defense.”
