We can only hope it bears fruit.

I wonder if this would have any impact to other state's magazine bans, ie Colorado?
Colorado is not a state int he 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, so whatever their final judgement is will not apply to Colorado. However, attorneys in Colorado (and other states) can use rulings of the 9th Court to bolster their arguments in similar cases. In any event, this is sure to come before the Supreme Court, however, they may or may not agree to hear it, as we have seen recently.I wonder if this would have any impact to other state's magazine bans, ie Colorado?
Yes, NRA is constantly in court in defense of the 2nd Amendment. In this case, they were there in the trenches with and supporting the CRPA.Does the NRA ever take legal action other than in defense of itself?
CRPA has been fighting since the 30,000+ member-driven organization filed the case back in 2017, and has led the fight through the courts with the assistance of the National Rifle Association. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/california-mag-ban-reversal-14-aug-2020.873302/
Thanks for reminding me. The post I saw earlier claiming it a NRA victory was actually claiming it for the NRA-ILA.There is also the NRA-ILA,

Given that it appears likely that the Democrats in the Washington state legislature will soon have a super-majority (after the next elections), we were not looking forward to the new house and senate legislative sessions.
Since we are in the 9th circuit, it now appears that we have some hope, as the Dems have had magazine capacity bills pre-written and waiting ...
Right now it only applies to states in the 9th Circuit. I'm sure one of the lawyers will be by shortly to explain it fully.
Depends on how the courts view "magazines".Would California be able to pass a law limiting a mag to 11 rounds then, or would this say any capacity limits are unconstitutional?

The fact you're asking this question underscores how little you know of the NRA.

It's binding precedent in the 9th, but only persuasive in others. So someone in some other circuit can argue, "Judge, even in the 9th Circuit, which is notoriously anti-gun, this kind of legislation has been held unconstitutional."Right now it only applies to states in the 9th Circuit.
