The long-awaited oral arguments before the Washington State Supreme Court in the case of State of Washington v. Gator’s Custom Guns Inc., are scheduled to be heard Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 9 a.m. in Olympia.

This is the challenge of Washington’s 2022 ban on so-called “large-capacity magazines” which was supported by Democrat Attorney General Bob Ferguson, who will soon become governor. While the law does not prohibit possession of such magazines which were owned before the statute took effect, it does prohibit the sale, purchase, importation and manufacture of new magazines. The outcome could have national implications.
