The Benson case, concerning Washington D.C.'s magazine ban, has seen a significant procedural shift. The US government, while no longer defending the ban itself, has requested a rehearing focused on the remedy issued by the lower court, specifically the vacating of related convictions. The court denied the plaintiffs' motion to strike the government's response, allowing the government's arguments to be considered and the plaintiffs to respond, moving the case into a new phase of legal deliberation.

United States case, focusing on the court's denial of the District's requests for en banc review and expedited proceedings.

This video from Guns & Gadgets provides an expert analysis of a significant Second Amendment legal victory in Florida. A state appeals court has ruled Florida's ban on open carry unconstitutional, overturning a conviction based on the Supreme Court's Bruen decision.

The Oregon Court of Appeals has reversed a lower court's ruling, upholding the state's magazine ban and permit-to-purchase process under Measure 114. This decision means the ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds and the requirement for a permit to buy firearms are now in effect, pending potential further appeals to the Oregon Supreme Court or US Supreme Court. The court found the measures facially valid, capable of constitutional application, and a reasonable response to public safety concerns.

A federal appeals court in the Ninth Circuit ruled that 18 USC 922 G1, the law prohibiting felons from possessing firearms, violates the Second Amendment as applied to nonviolent offenders who have completed their sentences. The court applied the Bruen decision's text, history, and tradition framework, finding that the government failed to demonstrate a historical tradition of disarming nonviolent felons. This ruling specifically applies to Steven Duarte but may set a precedent for future cases.

The ruling raises questions about how state laws interact with Second Amendment rights and existing legal traditions.

An appeals court has revived Mexico's lawsuit against several U.S. firearm manufacturers, ruling that the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) does not bar claims alleging a specific type of statutory exemption.

The ruling is seen as a significant challenge to PLCAA protections.

This video details a significant Second Amendment victory from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, affirming the right to carry for 18-to-20-year-olds. Expert analysis from Mark W.

This video discusses a significant legal victory in California where a federal court blocked the enforcement of SB2, a law that restricted concealed carry permits by designating numerous locations as 'sensitive places.'
