This video analyzes the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit's delay in ruling on significant Second Amendment cases, including the Cheeseman (assault weapon ban) and Koons/Siegel (sensitive places) cases. Host Mark Smith, a constitutional attorney, suspects the court is waiting for the Supreme Court to issue decisions in *Hamani* and *Wolford* to avoid having to redo their work. He draws parallels to the *Bryan Range* case, where the Third Circuit was forced to reconsider its ruling after the *Rahimi* decision. The analysis suggests the Third Circuit will likely issue its opinions in July, after the Supreme Court term concludes, to incorporate relevant precedents.
