The DC Court of Appeals has granted an en banc rehearing in the Benson case, vacating the prior ruling that struck down Washington D.C.'s ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds. This means the full court will now reconsider the constitutionality of the ban and the previous remedy. The Trump administration's petition for rehearing is cited as the catalyst for this development, which delays any immediate impact of the original ruling and allows the district another opportunity to defend its law.

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.

The DC Court of Appeals ruled that DC's ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds violates the Second Amendment. This ruling has been challenged by 18 states and gun control groups who have filed amicus briefs urging a rehearing. These groups argue the ruling's 'common use' analysis is flawed and could impact other firearm regulations nationwide.

This video discusses the Benson case, where a court struck down DC's ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds.

This video provides a critical update on the Benson case, where the DC Court of Appeals ruled a ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds unconstitutional. DC's attempts to expedite a reversal and block the ruling were denied by the court, indicating it is not being treated as an emergency. Judge Dale's statement pushes back against DC's claims of a public safety crisis, citing existing prevalence of such magazines and the district's own enforcement policies. A dissent by Chief Judge Blackburn Riggsby argued for expedited review due to a potential circuit split and public safety concerns, but the majority denied the emergency motions, leaving the Benson ruling as binding precedent for now.
