Frequently Asked Questions

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

The Duncan v. Bonta case, challenging California's ban on standard-capacity magazines, is currently under a stay of mandate at the Supreme Court. This means the ban is not actively enforced while the court considers the case.

What happens if the Supreme Court denies Duncan v. Bonta?

If the Supreme Court denies Duncan v. Bonta, the stay of mandate will be lifted. This would immediately enforce California's law, making it illegal to possess magazines holding more than 10 rounds, requiring modification, removal, or surrender of such items.

Why are California gun owners nervous about the Supreme Court's upcoming recess?

California gun owners are nervous because the Supreme Court's summer recess begins soon, and decisions on key Second Amendment cases like Duncan v. Bonta are expected before then. The pattern of relisting cases suggests potential denials, which would have immediate consequences for magazine possession in California.

What are the other major Second Amendment cases being considered by the Supreme Court?

Besides Duncan v. Bonta, the Supreme Court is also considering Gators v. Washington (magazine ban), Vermont v. Cook County (hardware case), and NGRV v. Lamont (challenging semi-auto and magazine bans in Connecticut).
