South Carolina AG Wilson part of coalition calling on Supreme Court to review NJ law limiting magazine capacity

COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)– South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson is a part of a coalition calling on the Supreme Court to review a New Jersey law limiting magazine capacities in firearms. The letter is signed by the top attorneys in 24 states, all of which are Republican.

According to the group, the law is a violation of the second amendment which protects a citizens rights to keep and bear arms.

“We’ve sworn to uphold the Constitution and the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms protects every man, woman, and child’s life and liberty every day,” Attorney General Wilson said. “We’re opposing a New Jersey law that would ban something you would find right now in millions of homes across the country.”

In new jersey, it is illegal to possess any magazine that is capable of accepting more than 10 rounds of ammunition for semi-automatic pistols or rifles, or 6 rounds for semi-automatic shotguns that accept detachable magazines.
