The Supreme Court's ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen affirmed the 'text, history, and tradition' test for Second Amendment cases. The Supreme Court then vacated and remanded the Duncan v. Bonta case back to the 9th Circuit to reconsider its decision in light of Bruen.

GOA argues that the 9th Circuit must apply the Bruen decision's 'text, history, and tradition' test directly and unequivocally. They contend that the 9th Circuit should resolve the issue now, rather than remanding it, to provide clear guidance and promote judicial efficiency.

What warning is being issued to the 9th Circuit in the magazine ban case?

Gun rights advocates are strongly warning the 9th Circuit against defying the Supreme Court's decisions, citing historical instances where lower courts have been criticized for misinterpreting or ignoring Supreme Court mandates. Such defiance risks further Supreme Court intervention.
