US EditionSupreme Court Leaves Intact Ban on High-Capacity Gun Magazines
- The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday refused to review the District of Columbia’s ban on large-capacity ammunition magazines, rejecting a gun-rights appeal.
- Four gun owners challenged the ban, arguing it violates the Second Amendment based on the 2022 ruling that expanded firearm rights outside the home.
- The ban, enacted after the 2008 Supreme Court decision affirming individual gun rights in the home, was upheld by lower courts and an appeals court in a 2-1 ruling last year.
- The appeals court ruled in a 2-1 decision that large-capacity magazines qualify as weapons protected by the Second Amendment and are widely used, but permitted their regulation due to their classification as "particularly dangerous."
- By declining to hear this and similar cases, the Supreme Court maintained existing bans on these magazines in D.C. and 14 states, leaving Maryland’s assault-weapons ban in place.
