The DC Court of Appeals has struck down the District's ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds in Benson v. United States, ruling it violates the Second Amendment. The District has filed an emergency motion to suspend the ruling's precedential status and is seeking a rehearing en banc by the full court. This legal battle has significant implications for magazine ban cases nationwide and could eventually reach the Supreme Court.
