Suit filed over Sandy Hook-inspired law limiting gun rounds Gun rights supporters are suing Connecticut officials over the state's 2013 ban on magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunitionHARTFORD, Conn. -- Gun rights supporters are suing Connecticut officials over part of a 2013 state gun control law passed after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, saying it unconstitutionally bans people from loading more than 10 rounds of ammunition into their firearms. The laws included a ban on ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 bullets. Gun control supporters say the law can save lives by limiting how many bullets a shooter can fire before having to reload. But gun rights supporters say that magazines that hold more than 10 rounds are considered standard and that many firearms are not available with magazines that hold fewer than 10 rounds. The alliance was formed to prevent gun violence after the Sandy Hook shooting.
