What is the current status of the magazine and semi-auto ban cases at the Supreme Court?

Following a recent conference, the Supreme Court has rescheduled the review of Duncan v. Bonta, Gators v. Custom Guns, and Viramontes v. Cook County for the December 12th conference. This means the justices are still deliberating whether to hear these cases.

What is the potential impact of the Duncan v. Bonta case on California gun owners?

If the Supreme Court denies review or upholds the lower court ruling in Duncan v. Bonta, California's ban on standard-capacity magazines could be enforced, potentially criminalizing hundreds of thousands of law-abiding citizens who currently possess them.

How does the Supreme Court decide whether to hear a case?

The Supreme Court justices meet in conference to discuss petitions. They can decide to accept a case for full review, deny the petition, or issue a GVR (Grant, Vacate, and Remand) order to a lower court. The decision to hear a case is crucial for establishing national legal precedent.
