Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Duncan v. Bonta case about?

The Duncan v. Bonta case concerns California's ban on large-capacity ammunition magazines. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals recently held oral arguments to review this ban after a federal judge twice struck it down.

Why did the 9th Circuit take up the magazine ban case as a "comeback case"?

The 9th Circuit decided to take the Duncan v. Bonta case as a "comeback case" to review Judge Benitez's order striking down California's magazine ban. This procedural move has been criticized as potentially violating rules and delaying Second Amendment rights.

What are the potential outcomes for California's magazine ban case?

Potential outcomes include the 9th Circuit panel redeciding the case, a full en banc review by all judges, or sending the case back to a three-judge panel. The court may also delay a decision until after the Supreme Court rules in the Rahimi case.

What legal standards are being debated regarding magazine bans?

A key debate is whether magazines are "in common use" for lawful purposes. Pro-Second Amendment sides argue they are, while opponents suggest a "dangerous or unusual" standard, which critics argue could be used to ban many types of firearms.
