A judge has ruled against a suburban Seattle gun shop owner who sold high-capacity ammunition magazines despite a state ban.

According to the Seattle Times, the King County judge’s decision last week granted state Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s motion for partial summary judgment, finding Federal Way Discount Guns and owner Mohammed Reza Baghai in violation of Washington’s Consumer Protection Act .

Ferguson sued the shop and Baghai, and another King County judge previously ordered the retailer to stop selling the magazines.

Since July 2022, it has been illegal under Washington state law to manufacture, distribute, sell or offer for sale gun magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition, with limited exceptions.
