Well, at least it shows other states realize they have a stake in the game even though they don't have AWB's.
Or... They're waiting for the green light to institute a ban ; )

That's some glass half empty shit right there.

They stated very clearly that they believe the ten round magazine and the gun they fit in are constitutional protected. It should be heard.

Our grandchildren will still be waiting for the SC to uphold the 2nd Amendment in a meaningful way. If it didn't happen in 240 years, don't hold your breath.
Republican appointed Justices are in the majority for God knows how long already. I don't buy this "need one more" bullshit. This is how politicians play gullible masses.

Wasn't there already a case where large numbers of attorney's general wanted SCOTUS to take a similar AWB case and they didn't?
Robin

I mistyped, yes, 30 rounder.

Not the states in that list.
The problem the SCOTUS "must" address is to apply law and rulings under "STRICT" scrutiny as it does other "RIGHTS". Otherwise all these fights and arguments will not end! It's utterly ridiculous that the 2nd Amendment isn't!
That's all they need to do, and magazine restrictions, cosmetic feature restrictions, etc., and all ridiculousness disappear!

Thomas and Gorsuch are the ONLY votes on that court that we can truly count on.
Cue the Scalia fan club.
Magazine restrictions are NOT a violation of the 2A! Period. Don't get me wrong, I hate the laws that restrict capacity but it is not a 2A violation.
The rest of the case is in direct violation.

Is a magazine limit not "arbitrary and capricious" ? A rule is arbitrary if it is not supported by logic or the necessary facts; a rule is capricious if it is adopted without thought or reason or is irrational.

Because if they allow it in some states, it lays ground for a democrat to get into power in the future and ban all these features on gun everywhere at a federal level.
What you typed/copied and pasted means nothing here. My point is simple, the magazine restriction has no bearing on this case. One of the reasons why so many court cases are ruled against the 2A is due in part to the fact that these court cases are fighting too many points in one case.
The magazine restriction may or may not be a violation of a Right, just not the 2A.

Sure it is. The magazine is a necessary part of the "arms", required for proper function. Banning the magazine is in effect banning the "arms".
I don't believe in willingly giving an inch to the gun banning scumbags.
When are they supposed to decide whether or not to take this case?

Yes they are. They are a functioning part of an arm that requires one.

Is an AK in the Constitution? If you think that's ridiculous then well...

That depends on whether you are liberal or conservative.
No, no they are not. Nearly all guns will work without a mag. All you have to do is research and understand the 2A to realize that this is not about the 2A.
This is a lot like Free Speech, not all Free Speech is free. Go on keep saying the same stuff over and over.

A gun that requires a magazine to function as designed will not work as designed without the magazine.
You are being ridiculous.
I am not going to continue this discussion. As usual, each and everytime we discuss the Courts, every one turns into an expert. Read, study and understand the Bill of Rights. A magazine is NOT an Arm that is protected.

That is an opinion and feeling, not fact of law and not in the Constitution.

I have to agree here @GOPerfect . It is an "arm" designed to function a certain way (full, semi or single shot) with a magazine of a certain (not arbitrary) capacity.
Marine Cpl

Then show us. If you cannot, then don't say the whole expert nonsense. Inform us. Show us where it says in the courts and the Constitution that a magazine is not a functioning part of a gun that was built to function with one.
I guess you can ban Flint locks on muskets too.
