JWR’s Comment: The restrictive gun and magazine laws in those 14 states will fail the Bruen Test, because there were hardly any restrictions on the manufacture, purchase, ownership, storage, and carry of firearms, firearms ammunition, and firearms accessories before 1787. There simply were not any bans on particular types of weapons in 1787. Even cannons and grenades were not in any way restricted from private ownership. And the very few gun laws that did exist in or before 1787 applied only to gun ownership or carry by Native Americans and freed slaves. And all such laws were invalidated by the 14th Amendment.
