State of Washington v. Gator's Custom Guns
The state of Washington sued a gun seller for continuing to sell high-capacity magazines after a state law banning them went into effect. The lower court ruled that that ban violates the state and U.S. constitutions. The Washington Supreme Court granted the state’s request for a stay on enforcing the ruling while it appeals the lower court decision.
