How the Challenges to Initiative 1639 Are Getting a Do-Over.
This video explains how the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has vacated its previous ruling in Mitchell v. Adkins, a key challenge to Washington's Initiative 1639. The court is remanding the case for reconsideration based on the new legal standard established in NYSRPA v. Bruen, which rejects intermediate scrutiny for Second Amendment cases. This effectively reopens challenges to I-1639's restrictions on semi-automatic rifle purchases for 18-20 year olds and out-of-state buyers.
