This ruling significantly impacts gun owners within the Ninth Circuit's jurisdiction, potentially affecting future legal challenges, including the ongoing Sanchez v. Bonta case concerning California's ban on silencers. The decision emphasizes a textualist approach, questioning whether an accessory is necessary for the ordinary operation of a weapon.
