D.C. Court Strikes Down Magazine Ban — Paving the Way for California

A federal appeals court has struck down Washington, D.C.’s ban on “large-capacity magazines” in a 2-1 ruling in Benson v. United States, declaring that restrictions on magazines violate the Second Amendment.

Why it matters to California gun owners: this decision creates a direct circuit split with the Ninth Circuit, which upheld California’s magazine ban in Duncan v. Bonta — the case CRPA is actively pursuing. Circuit splits make it far more likely the Supreme Court will take up the case, potentially delivering a historic decision on Second Amendment rights.

CRPA, with support from the NRA and other organizations, continues fighting to restore Californians’ right to own standard-capacity magazines. A Supreme Court ruling could finally resolve this constitutional question once and for all.
