According to ABC 6, lawyers for one gun store and several individuals have filed a lawsuit against a recently signed bill that would ban the possession and purchasing of gun magazines that are capable of holding more than ten rounds. The lawsuit was filed last night by attorneys with Kelly, Souza, & Parmenter law firm in Providence on behalf of Bear Hunting and Fishing Supply store based in Harmony, Rhode Island, and several other individuals. Attorneys are arguing that the recently passed bill is in violation of the takings clause of the Fifth Amendment, the Second Amendment and the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and also stated. That the new law will harm responsible gun owners and enable criminals.

The magazine ban was one of three gun bills that Governor Dan McKee signed this week. The others are raising the age to purchase a gun to 21 and to bar the open carry of shotguns and rifles on public grounds
