Gun rights group files lawsuit calling state’s ban on large-capacity ammunition clips 'unconstitutional'

Bellevue’s Second Amendment Foundation and othersin federal district court, claiming the ban signed into law earlier this year by Gov. Jay Inslee violates the Second and Fourth Amendments of the US Constitution.

The lawsuit names Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson and several county sheriffs as defendants.The Washington state Senate has voted to ban the manufacture, distribution and sale of firearm magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. "We feel very confident that we will successfully defend high capacity magazines adopted by the legislature for two reasons," Ferguson said. "Courts across the country have upheld similar bans and frankly, we have a better legal team and legal advocates than the Second Amendment Foundation has."ban is selective enforcement because thousands of gun owners with large capacity magazine clips"Magazines do not have serial numbers like guns do," Workman told FOX 13 News.

In a related issue, Ferguson said his office is having conversations with state lawmakers regarding the ‘pre-emptive’ right the state has regarding gun laws.

I’m just curious what their arguments is? I haven’t read the whole law yet, but since the Brady bill did this for 20 some years, I can’t imagine they have a leg to stand on.

Just look for orange. You'll see stupidity in action. Inanimate objects do nothing on there own. Should of got a better education. This elem. School lessons. stopinanimateobjectharrassment

I don’t understand any of this… why can we just make it illegal to shoot anyone that isn’t a threat to yourself and or family… 🤔

Washington state already has a 30 round magazine ban which isn't even a high capacity magazine that is a standard issue, on top of that jay inslee has 50 bmg snipers on his rooftop 24\\7. Give up your snipers and security then you can have my guns

Because magazine capacity bans don’t actually accomplish anything. As evidenced in all but one mass shooting. Why remove rights from lawful people when that removal does nothing to help?
