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.
