Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of the Bruen decision for the Miller v. Bonta case?

The Bruen decision is highly significant as it rejected the 'two-step' legal test previously used by the Ninth Circuit. This precedent strengthens arguments against firearm bans, like California's assault weapon ban challenged in Miller v. Bonta, as the court must now rely on historical analysis.

How can individuals prepare for a potential 'Freedom Week' in California?

In anticipation of the assault weapons ban being lifted, individuals are advised to purchase compliant parts such as A2 pistol grips and standard magazine releases for AR/AK platforms. This proactive step ensures readiness without overspending on potentially non-compliant items.

What is the current strategy of the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) regarding the Miller v. Bonta case?

The FPC is actively petitioning the Ninth Circuit to lift the existing stay on the Miller v. Bonta case or to expedite its review for a September ruling. Their strategy leverages the Supreme Court's rejection of the previous legal test used to justify the stay.
