Gators Custom Guns, a firearm retailer based in Kelso, Washington, has filed a petition for the U.S. Supreme Court to review the state Supreme Courts upholding of Washingtons 2022 ban on the sale of ammunition magazines holding more than 10 rounds. The ban prevents the sale and importation of high-capacity magazines but allows existing ownership. The state Supreme Court ruled that restricted magazines are not considered "arms" under the Washington Constitution, describing them as components not generally used for self-defense. This ruling aligns with a broader judicial trend interpreting the Second Amendment's protection of firearms "in common use". The gun shop argues that restricting these popular magazines infringes on constitutional rights and hopes the Supreme Court will address conflicting decisions nationwide on whether such magazines qualify as protected "arms." The case echoes ongoing national debates over the scope of Second Amendment protections following the 2022 Bruen ruling, which emphasized historical context in firearm regulation. Lower courts have widely upheld similar bans, but Gators attorneys contend that excluding integral firearm components from constitutional protection erodes the right to bear arms. Notable legal minds, including former U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement, have joined the effort to advance the appeal. The case could have significant implications for firearm laws nationwide.
