The Colorado Supreme Court upheld a law Monday banning the possession of gun magazines capable of holding more than 15 rounds of ammunition despite opposition from gun rights advocates.
Justice Monica M. Márquez wrote the majority opinion, calling the gun control legislation “a reasonable exercise of the police power that has neither the purpose nor effect of nullifying the right to bear arms in self-defense.”
The ruling against civilian ownership of high capacity magazines passed 7-0, according to NBC 9.
The Rocky Mountain Gun Owners (RMGO), a local firearms-rights group, filed the lawsuit against Colorado in November 2019, citing a provision in the state constitution guaranteeing the right to protect lives and property.
