BREAKING! Supreme Court 6-3 Decision & New Magazine Ruling Pushed To End All "Assault Weapon" Bans!

A recent District of Columbia Court of Appeals ruling in Benson v. United States declared magazine bans holding more than 10 rounds unconstitutional, citing Second Amendment protections and common use. This decision creates a significant 'circuit split' with other federal courts, increasing pressure on the Supreme Court to review cases like Duncan v. Bonta (California), Cheeseman v. Platkin (New Jersey), and Barnett v. Raoul (Illinois), potentially leading to a landmark nationwide decision on firearm and magazine restrictions.

William Kirk of Washington Gun Law analyzes the D.C. Court of Appeals ruling in Benson v. United States, which struck down the city's ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds.

While not a circuit split, this decision sets a strong precedent. Kirk highlights that future cases, like Cheeseman v. Platkin concerning New Jersey's assault weapon ban, could create circuit splits leading to Supreme Court review.
