This video discusses a legal maneuver in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals concerning Hawaii's ban on butterfly knives in the case Teeter v. Lopez. A favorable three-judge panel ruling for the Second Amendment was vacated when the full Ninth Circuit granted en banc review. Subsequently, Hawaii amended its law, rendering the case moot and preventing a definitive ruling on the Second Amendment's application to butterfly knives, a strategy highlighted by Judge Lawrence Van Dyke in his dissent as a tactic to avoid adverse precedent.
