Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti announced Tuesday that the state has joined 26 others in urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn laws in Washington and California that ban the possession of high-capacity magazines. The states argue the bans on so-called "plus-ten magazines" violate the Second Amendment. Briefs were filed for Gator’s Custom Guns v. Washington and Duncan v. Bonta. The first case was decided by the Washington Supreme Court, while the second was decided by the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The coalition contends the rulings ignore U.S. Supreme Court precedent and reflect a trend of lower courts eroding constitutional protections. “Courts should not strip away their fundamental rights by pretending these necessary components are not protected by the Second Amendment. Our office is proud to partner with our sister states in defending the Constitution,” Skrmetti said in a press release.
