Fairfax, VA – -(Ammoland.com)- The National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) praised the Colorado State Shooting Association (CSSA) today for filing an amicus brief in support of a challenge to Colorado’s unconstitutional ban on common rifle and pistol magazines.
“Magazine bans do not deter criminals or improve public safety. Instead, they unconstitutionally burden the rights of law-abiding gun owners,” said Chris W. Cox, executive director of NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action.
At issue in the lawsuit is one of the measures signed into law by former Gov. John Hickenlooper which bans the possession, sale, purchase, or transfer of ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds.
“The only people impacted by this ban are the law-abiding citizens who will be forced to defend themselves, their families and their homes from violent attack with sub-standard ammunition magazines. The National Rifle Association will continue supporting the rights of Coloradans to protect themselves,” Cox concluded.

“The National Rifle Association will continue supporting the rights of Coloradans to protect themselves,” what the fuck did you even do?
Highly recommend reading Judge Benitez ruling v. California magazine law. The week it was in effect millions of magazines flooded onto the state. It’s currently stayed, but it’s so powerful I can’t see the SCOTUS not ruling in its favor.
It’s not how well you can aim. Nor if you should shoot or not. It’s the individual rights to determine what he needs. Just as it’s your right to say where you will live or what type of car you drive. Besides if it come to a fire fight for what ever reason, I will want a drum not just a 20 or 30 rou d clip.
As usual, sloppy sloppy, sloppy, on the part of the nra. There is no such thing as a magazine ban! There is a communist democrat confiscate weapons from law abiding citizens plan. And there is an anti crime plan. You won’t hear the nra supporting an anti crime plan, or using correct definition terminology, because that would call all criminals, justifiably, democrat turds in the punch bowl. And you will hear them using the communist democrat term of gun control to appease the weasels. But you won’t hear wayne le pepe using the correct definitive term of “communist democrat gun… Read more »

I live in NY. Only WISH I could have 15. We have 10.
I’m all for the 2nd Amendment & believe that we should be allowed to carry a firearm to protect ourselves and our loved ones and homes. This is stupid though to claim that someone needs to be allowed to have more than 15 rounds to defend themselves. If you can’t take care of the problem with 15 shots you better not start that dance. Hell if you can’t take care of it with 5 you better just run. I have handguns and rifles too by the way & will blow a hole through the first SOB that tries to get… Read more »
