A federal judge ruled Tuesday that New York’s expanded ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines was constitutional, but he struck down a provision forbidding gun owners from loading their firearms with more than seven rounds, which he called “an arbitrary restriction” that violates the Second Amendment.

According to a New York Times report, Judge William M. Skretny of Federal District Court in Buffalo said the greater restrictions on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines were constitutional because they served to “further the state’s important interest in public safety.”
