CALIFORNIA MAGAZINE BAN CASE MOVES TO EN BANC REVIEW 

(Update on Duncan v. Bonta – previously Becerra)

As seen below, Last August 14, 2020, a Ninth District Court 3 Judge Panel Ruled that Judge Roger Benitez’s original Ruling that California’s Large Capacity Magazine Ban was unconstitutional. After this ruling, CA attorney General Xavier Becerra decided to appeal and ask for what’s known as an “En Banc Review” of the case, where 13 judges of the Ninth District Court are randomly chosen to sit together “En Banc” to hear the appeal. Oral Arguments in this appeal will be heard on June 22, 2021 at 9:30 AM. The California Constitutional Rights Foundation have again, along with other organizations, filed an Amicus Brief to be considered during these Oral Arguments before the En Banc Panel of the Ninth District Court.

The result of this case will be deeply transforming, as other 2nd Amendment lawsuits currently before the courts are and will be dependent on this decision.  This include Rupp v. Becerra (California’s “Assault Weapons” Ban) and Rode v. Becerra (California’s Ammunition Background Check law).
