The Benson case, concerning Washington D.C.'s magazine ban, has seen a significant procedural shift. The US government, while no longer defending the ban itself, has requested a rehearing focused on the remedy issued by the lower court, specifically the vacating of related convictions. The court denied the plaintiffs' motion to strike the government's response, allowing the government's arguments to be considered and the plaintiffs to respond, moving the case into a new phase of legal deliberation.

The Duncan v. Bonta case, challenging California's magazine ban, is under Supreme Court consideration. A key argument for review, based on the US v. Benson ruling striking down a similar DC ban, has been undercut by the DC Court of Appeals granting an en banc rehearing in Benson. This shifts the legal landscape, potentially influencing the Supreme Court's decision to grant or deny certiorari for Duncan.

The DC Court of Appeals has granted an en banc rehearing in the Benson case, vacating the prior ruling that struck down Washington D.C.'s ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds. This means the full court will now reconsider the constitutionality of the ban and the previous remedy. The Trump administration's petition for rehearing is cited as the catalyst for this development, which delays any immediate impact of the original ruling and allows the district another opportunity to defend its law.
