Court Bans High-Capacity Magazines for Guns Guests: Second Amendment Foundation

 

A federal appeals court has, as expected, upheld California’s ban on original capacity magazines for rifles and pistols. Gun rights advocates expect this case to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Joining us in this discussion is a spokesperson from the 2nd Amendment Foundation.

 

Questions:

  1. Why is it important for so-called “high-capacity” magazines to be protected by the Second Amendment?
  2. Does anyone use the so-called high-capacity magazines for hunting deer?
  3. How many rounds are in a high-capacity magazine?
  4. Why should the Second Amendment protect anything more advanced than muskets and single-shot pistols, which were common when the Bill of Rights was ratified in the late 1700s?
  5. Do we really need a Second Amendment when we have the police and military to protect us?
  6. Where may we get more information on your organization and your work protecting our 2nd Amendment rights?
