Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen is leading a 27-state coalition urging the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down California’s ban on firearm magazines holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition.
The group of attorneys general filed an amicus brief in Virginia Duncan, et al. v. Rob Bonta, Attorney General of California, arguing that the Ninth Circuit erred when it upheld California’s law in March. The coalition contends the ban violates the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.
“California’s ban on large capacity magazines undermines our constitutional rights, which do not stop at state lines,” Knudsen said in a statement. “SCOTUS has the opportunity to protect the Second Amendment and reject unlawful restrictions on law-abiding citizens.”
