A U.S. District Judge in Washington, D.C. has declined to grant an injunction against the city’s ban on “large capacity” magazines, ruling that while magazines in general are “arms” protected by the Second Amendment, LCMs fall outside of the scope of the amendment because they’re a “poor fit” for self-defense purposes.

Oh wait...
Idiot judge.
The left: “No one is coming after your guns”!
Also the left: “Cops are evil and should be defunded”
P.S. from the left: “We are passing laws to keep guns and large capacity magazines out of hands of the citizens, and only in the hands of law enforcement officers”.
Another clueless, black-robed, pampered asshole.
Poor fit ?
If you live in Chicago !
There, you need BIGGER capacity magazines.

“LCMs fall outside of the scope of the amendment because they’re a “poor fit” for self-defense purposes.”
So a 17 round magazine in a SA Hellcat is a “poor fit for self defense purposes”?
No, there is no mention of self-defense in the Second Amendment. This is what we get when we stop teaching children how to read.

“Colorado’s Democratic majority has already sent several gun control bills to Gov. Jared Polis for his signature, but a bid to ban the sale and manufacture of so-called assault weapons failed early Thursday morning as the House Judiciary Committee narrowly rejected Rep. Elisabeth Epps gun ban bill by a 6-7 vote.”
LCMs fall outside of the scope of the amendment because they’re a “poor fit” for self-defense purposes.
