United States (DC's magazine ban case) and a letter from California AG Rob Bonta to the Supreme Court, have significantly complicated Duncan's chances of being accepted for review. The DC case's reversal means a key supporting precedent for Duncan has been vacated, and Bonta's letter aims to further dissuade the Supreme Court from taking up Duncan.

This entry details the Rhode v. Bonta case, a significant legal challenge to California's ammunition regulations.

This law necessitates face-to-face transactions through a California licensed dealer, preventing direct shipments to consumers.

It's important to note that such conversion kits and modifications are already illegal under existing California multi-burst trigger activator and machine gun restrictions.
