Frequently Asked Questions

What is the current status of the Duncan v. Bonta case regarding California's magazine ban?

The Supreme Court has remanded the Duncan v. Bonta case back to the Ninth Circuit for reconsideration in light of the Bruin decision. Both Judge Benitez and the Ninth Circuit panel previously found the magazine ban unconstitutional using the correct legal standard.

How did the Supreme Court's Bruin decision affect the Duncan v. Bonta case?

The Bruin decision affirmed 'text as informed by history' as the proper test for Second Amendment cases, rejecting the Ninth Circuit's prior two-step approach. This ruling prompted the Supreme Court to remand the Duncan case for the Ninth Circuit to apply this reaffirmed standard.

What was 'Freedom Week' in California?

'Freedom Week' occurred after Judge Benitez's initial ruling that California's magazine ban was unconstitutional. During this period, citizens were able to legally purchase and possess magazines holding more than 10 rounds before a stay was put in place.

What is the significance of Judge Benitez's stay in the Duncan v. Bonta case?

Judge Benitez issued a stay on his own judgment, which currently prevents the purchase and possession of magazines over 10 rounds. This stay was partly based on the likelihood of the state winning under the now-invalidated two-step approach used by the Ninth Circuit.
