Evidence

The NRA filed a lawsuit challenging it, but the Supreme Court refused to hear the case. A federal judge upheld the law except for the arbitrary magazine limit of 7 rounds. The judge viewed the constitutional challenge as more of a political issue than a judicial one. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 1367
