South Dakota has joined 24 other states in filing an amicus brief challenging a California law that would ban firearm magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds.
South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley says the group is asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to uphold an earlier ruling by a U.S. District Court in California that the firearms ban denies a citizen the federal constitutional right to use common weapons of their own choosing for self-defense. He says this ban is another intrusion on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.
Other Attorneys General who are part of this brief are from: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming.
