OLYMPIA, Wash. — A King County judge has found that a Federal Way gun shop and its owner violated state law by selling high-capacity magazines after the state banned the sale of the magazines last year.

In December 2022, Attorney General Bob Ferguson filed a consumer protection lawsuit against Federal Way Discount Guns and its owner, Mohammed Reza Baghai, for illegally selling high-capacity magazines despite the ban on such products in the state.

King County Superior Court Judge Michael Scott granted Ferguson's motion for the preliminary injection in January, finding that Ferguson is likely to win his case against the Baghai and the store.

According to the office of the Attorney General, Federal Way Discount Guns and Baghai did not contest that they sold at least 2,600 high-capacity magazines in the months before Ferguson filed suit
