Major Supreme Court Update: Duncan v. Bonta Mag Ban Challenge

This entry details a significant legal development concerning magazine capacity bans, as discussed by the Armed Scholar. The video highlights the conflict between the Ninth Circuit's ruling in Duncan v. Bonta and the DC Court of Appeals' decision in Benson v.
