Summary

The D.C. Court of Appeals granted an en banc rehearing in *Benson v. United States* on April 22, vacating the earlier March 5 panel opinion. The full court will now reconsider whether D.C.'s ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds and its licensing and registration requirements violate the Second Amendment.
