Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the 9th Circuit defying the Supreme Court on California's rifle ban?

The 9th Circuit has granted California's request for an emergency administrative stay on Judge Benitez's injunction against the 'assault weapons' ban in Miller v. Bonta. They have also placed the case on hold, pending the resolution of the Duncan v. Bonta magazine ban case, effectively keeping the ban in place.

What is the significance of linking Miller v. Bonta to Duncan v. Bonta?

Linking these cases allows the 9th Circuit to potentially uphold the magazine ban in Duncan, which could then be used as a basis to maintain the 'assault weapon' ban in Miller. This strategy delays a definitive ruling on the rifle ban and keeps it in effect.

What concerns are there about the judges' understanding in the Miller v. Bonta case?

During oral arguments, judges on the 9th Circuit panel displayed a lack of technical firearms knowledge, misidentifying AR-15s and challenging established legal tests like the 'common use' standard. This raises concerns about their ability to impartially rule on Second Amendment cases.

What is the likely future outlook for the Miller v. Bonta case?

Given the 9th Circuit's history and the perceived bias of the panel, it's highly probable that the Miller case will remain on hold for an extended period. It is expected to eventually return to the Supreme Court, similar to how the Duncan case might proceed.
