SCOTUS Once Again Punts On Duncan v. Bonta

Summary

The U.S. Supreme Court has once again deferred a decision on whether to review *Duncan v. Bonta*, a challenge to California's prohibition on magazines holding more than 10 rounds. The case, which originated in 2016 with California's Proposition 63, has been litigated for nearly a decade, bouncing between federal district and Ninth Circuit courts, even after the landmark *Bruen* decision. Its repeated relisting by SCOTUS suggests caution regarding post-Bruen gun rights cases.
