RI federal district court rules magazines are not arms

If magazines are ban-able because they aren't "arms" then you could also ban barrels, firing pins, triggers, and so on.

I think Hank hits this right on the head. One could reasonably argue that the gun is made to fire only with the magazine in place. Therefore, the mag is part of the gun. Just like the trigger, or the firing pin, etc.
Pretending to be stupid in regards to guns is not going to fly, when it comes to Bruen and the SCOTUS. Eventually, I think that the Supreme Court is going to get pissed, and issue a very stern opinion that tells the lower courts in no uncertain terms that what they released was what they meant, and the states had better stop their bull shit or they will start having some kind of punitive action take place.

I still think the states, and probably some judges are hoping it sits in courts for years and by then the USSC will have changed in their favor.

Yeah...and you can have a pen but no ink
or a computer with no keyboard

The Supreme Court Won’t Change from The 6-3 For 30 Years.

Do not discount the possibility (high up on some lefty wish lists) of the court becoming 6-9 at some point.

May the God's hear your prayer...if some of them live to make it to 2024....then there better be an R in the WH to replace 3-4 justices....because there will be that many changes coming.

Thanks Anon & Very Fortuitous!

Maybe. But remember that unexpected things can happen on hunting trips.

Can I use a magazine to beat someone, to protect myself? Yes. Then by definition it is an Arm, a weapon of defense or offense just as a hammer, a bat, a barrel, a pencil, a pen, a crocheting needle, etc are all Arms in the sense of the term.
