Washington Supreme Court will hear case on high-capacity ammo magazine ban

The Washington State Supreme Court has agreed to directly review a lower court ruling that invalidated the state’s ban on the sale of ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.

Cowlitz County Superior Court Judge Gary Bashor ruled April 8 that the ban violated the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and part of the Washington Constitution granting individuals a right to bear arms for self-defense.

Bashor’s ruling blocked state authorities from enforcing the law, clearing the way for sales of high-capacity ammunition magazines to restart.

Roughly 90 minutes after his decision came down, Supreme Court Commissioner Michael Johnston granted the request of state attorneys for a temporary stay to restore the prohibition. On April 25, Johnston extended the stay through the resolution of the case.
