Frequently Asked Questions

What is the current status of California's magazine ban in the Duncan v. Bonta case?

The Duncan v. Bonta case, challenging California's ban on magazines holding over 10 rounds, is currently under review by the Ninth Circuit en banc panel. California is using recent Supreme Court and Fourth Circuit decisions to argue for upholding the ban.

How is the US v. Rahimi decision being used to support California's magazine ban?

What is the significance of the Bianchi v. Frosh ruling for California's magazine ban?

California cites the Fourth Circuit's Bianchi v. Frosh decision, which upheld Maryland's assault weapons ban, to argue that statewide bans on certain firearm accessories, like high-capacity magazines, do not violate the Second Amendment.

Why is the Ninth Circuit's handling of the Duncan v. Bonta case considered unusual?

The Ninth Circuit en banc panel's decision to take the Duncan v. Bonta case as a 'comeback case' was an unprecedented move. Some judges on the panel have publicly criticized this action, suggesting it deviates from standard judicial procedures.
