State Attorneys Want to Rewrite 2A History, Judge Says Not On My Watch

The Supreme Court has refused to hear the case of Shenthal v. Raul, which challenged Illinois' ban on carrying firearms on public transit.

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.

This shifts the legal landscape, potentially influencing the Supreme Court's decision to grant or deny certiorari for Duncan.

The video discusses the critical status of the Duncan v. Bonta magazine capacity ban challenge before the Supreme Court. Recent developments, including the en banc rehearing granted in Benson v. United States (DC's magazine ban case) and a letter from California AG Rob Bonta to the Supreme Court, have significantly complicated Duncan's chances of being accepted for review. The DC case's reversal means a key supporting precedent for Duncan has been vacated, and Bonta's letter aims to further dissuade the Supreme Court from taking up Duncan.
