Several gun rights groups have filed a lawsuit challenging Washington state’s new ban on sales of so-called high-capacity ammunition magazines for rifles and handguns, which the law prohibiting their distribution defines as ones that hold more than 10 rounds.

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and others filed their complaint on June 3 (pdf), claiming the ban is unconstitutional and naming a number of Washington state officials as defendants, including Bob Ferguson, the state’s Attorney General.
