WA high court leaves ban in place for now on large capacity ammo magazines

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Washington’s ban on the sale of ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds will remain in place, the state Supreme Court ruled Monday.

A majority of justices denied a request to modify an April order by Supreme Court Commissioner Michael Johnston that kept the prohibition intact despite a lower court ruling that found the law was unconstitutional.

Monday’s decision will keep the law in effect until the court hears arguments, possibly this fall, in the state’s appeal of the lower court ruling.

This case stems from a dispute between the state and a firearms retailer – Gator’s Custom Guns in Kelso, along with the business’ owner Walter Wentz. It concerns Senate Bill 5078, legislation crafted by Democrats and passed along party lines in the Legislation. State Attorney General Bob Ferguson, a Democrat, requested the bill.
