McGlynn found unpersuasive arguments made by the attorney general’s office that various accessories subject to the ban, such as detachable magazines capable of holding more than 15 rounds of ammunition, are “nonessential” and should not be considered as “arms” protected by the U.S. Constitution. In its motion to delay the implementation of McGlynn’s ruling, Raoul’s office argued that the judge “failed to decide whether assault weapons are ‘bearable arms’ commonly used for self-defense.”Raoul’s office also argued that McGlynn’s ruling failed to meet the burden in Bruen that the banned weapons were covered by the “plain text” of the Second Amendment protecting the rights of the plaintiffs to carry firearms for self-defense.
