Most similar laws ban magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, and the only such ban that I've seen struck down was the NY law that attempted to limit magazines to 7 rounds. Since 7 round magazines are rare/non-existent, NY said you could have a 10 round magazine but only load 7 rounds, and the Second Circuit said that violated the 2d Amendment.
