Today, we filed an amicus brief attacking the constitutionality of a
California ban on standard capacity magazines, which the California law
mislabels as “Large Capacity Magazines.” The District Court and Ninth
Circuit panel both ruled for that the laws were unconstitutional, and
the Ninth Circuit granted rehearing en banc. Our brief defends the
decision reached by the courts below, but urges the Ninth Circuit to
reject its atextual “two-step” test and simply apply the “text, history,
and tradition” of the Second Amendment to reach a decision.
