Defending California’s prohibition on large-capacity magazines.
Court: Eastern District of California
Issue at Stake: Large-capacity magazines
Summary: Everytown submitted this amicus brief in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California in defense of California’s large-capacity magazine prohibition. This brief discusses the long history of regulating especially dangerous weapons, including a century of restrictions on firearms capable of firing a large number of rounds without reloading; the circularity of the “common use” test relied upon by plaintiffs; and the impact that regulating large-capacity magazines has on preventing both mass shootings and day-to-day gun violence. The court denied Everytown’s motion for leave to file this amicus brief.

30 percent of guns recovered by ATF in California have no serial number on them, making it impossible for law enforcement to trace.
