Gun Control - The Ten Round Limit & Supreme Court Rulings.

In a case that may have bearing on on Washington state citizens (see WA Senate Bill 5078), the Supreme Court of the United States issued orders in two other cases. ANJRPC v. Bruck and Duncan v. Bonta, challenge New Jersey and California laws that ban magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition.  The National Rifle Association's Institute for Legislative Action brought both actions.

The Third and Ninth Circuits, over dissents, had upheld the bans by balancing the state governments’ safety interests with the restriction on the right to keep and bear arms. Then both cases were appealed to the Supreme Court. 

On June 30th, SCOTUS vacated and remanded both cases back to the lower courts to rehear them and to apply the text-and-history test that it adopted in Bruen—not the interest-balancing tests that the courts applied previously. This is a good result that effectively gives us a second and better shot at winning the cases.  (SCOTUS summary disposition - pdf)
