A federal judge in Washington D.C. ruled that large-capacity magazines (LCMs) are not protected by the Second Amendment, citing their military utility. This decision, in Hanson v. District of Columbia, contradicts the spirit of Heller and Bruen, which emphasize the protection of arms in common use.
