IMHO: (A) the Supreme Court does not want to hear a magazine case and (B) those in favor of protecting the Second Amendment should steer clear of this issue at the Supreme Court for the time being.

(A) The Supreme Court has shown no interest in taking up a Second amendment case in the past decade. There is no reason I like for why a magazine case would get heard.

(B) There are two reasons we do not want this magazine case at the Supreme Court. First, the current make-up of the Court is not majority gun-friendly. With one more originalist appointment the make-up would be a solid majority in favor of the 2A. Sometimes its good to be patient. Second, whether we like it or not, reasonable minds can differ about whether a "large capacity" magazine is protected by the Constitution. A person with an AR-15 and a satchel of 10 round magazines is certainly capable of exercising their right to keep and bear arms. A decision in this magazine case could easily go the "wrong" way and have far reaching negative consequences for the 2A.
