Duncan v. Bont is a constitutional challenge to California's 10-round magazine capacity law. The case has reached the Supreme Court, which will decide if the state can ban standard-capacity magazines, impacting millions of firearm owners.
The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a federal lawsuit against Colorado over its ban on magazines holding more than 15 rounds. The DOJ argues that these bans are unconstitutional under the Second Amendment, citing Supreme Court precedents like Heller and Bruen. The lawsuit emphasizes that standard-capacity magazines for commonly owned firearms like the AR-15 are protected arms, and that the state cannot ban items in common use. This legal action represents a significant shift in federal enforcement strategy regarding state-level gun control measures.
