Frequently Asked Questions

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

The Ninth Circuit's en banc panel has stayed a district court ruling that found California's magazine ban unconstitutional. The panel indicated that California is likely to win on the merits, despite the Supreme Court's Bruin decision.

How does the Supreme Court's Bruin decision affect firearm regulations like California's magazine ban?

The Bruin decision mandates that firearm regulations must be assessed based on the Second Amendment's text, history, and tradition, moving away from interest-balancing tests previously used by lower courts.

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

Critics argue the Ninth Circuit is not properly applying the Bruin decision's historical analysis, instead relying on older precedents and non-binding decisions, which dissenters call a 'judicial slight of hand'.

Could the Duncan v. Bonta case reach the Supreme Court again?

Yes, the Ninth Circuit's decision, especially after a prior GVR order from the Supreme Court, makes it a strong candidate for an emergency application to the Supreme Court for review.
