Default Miller v. Bonta 9th Ckt "assault weapons": Held for Duncan result 1-26-24

Miller v. Bonta
Southern District of California
Judge: Roger Benitez
3:19-cv-01537




SAN DIEGO (AUGUST 15, 2019) ? Attorneys for three San Diego residents and one San Diego-based advocacy organization filed a federal lawsuit challenging California?s ban on so-called ?assault weapons?. A copy of the complaint can be viewed or downloaded at www.firearmspolicy.org/legal.

?This District Court already ruled the state?s prohibition on the possession of large-capacity magazines is unconstitutional, and enjoined and prohibited enforcement of those provisions of the Code that would have prohibited their possession,? the plaintiffs say in their complaint. ?Both implicit and explicit in this District Court?s ruling was the ability to use such magazines if otherwise lawfully possessed? in legally-possessed firearms. ?Thus,? it goes on, ?the prohibitions that attach to the possession and use of a certain legislatively-invented class of otherwise commonly used, constitutionally protected? firearms ?are likewise invalid and should be stricken.?

?This is a straight-forward case to protect our clients' constitutional rights and property,? explained attorney John Dillon. ?The State of California?s ban on these firearms will fail constitutional scrutiny for the same reasons that its ban on firearm magazines did.?

?The government cannot ban the constitutionally-protected firearms at issue in this case,? said attorney George M. Lee. ?We look forward to proving that the State?s statutes, policies, and practices at issue in this case are both unconstitutional and irrational.?

The case is supported by Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), Firearms Policy Foundation (FPF), Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), and the California Gun Rights Foundation (CGF).

Good angle, probably won't make it at the 9th, but should make it to Supreme Court.

Whenever a crack emerges we need to ram it full of legal challenges. Hopefully we get a good judge on this one!

Why has no one gone after them on the grounds that the supposed logic behind the ban on "assault weapons" is not based on any empirical facts? There is zero bonafide evidence to support the presumption that the weapons covered are any more lethal or dangerous than any other rifle available that is lacking the so called evil features?

if anyone ever took a look at any of the studies done they would find they are seriously flawed and written in a manner to prove the point the author or whoever is paying for it wants. I spent years shooting down state surveys and facts in the health field because nothing was honest especially in HIV. No survey done in california or stats in this state should ever be taken at face value if the state uses it to try and support a stance.

Because logic has nothing to do with intentions and the Law. Look at the decision handed down by the judge in the Highland Park AWB case for a prime example of emotions and a complete lack of reason.

Because the "facts" are determined during Legislative hearings. They will accept "facts" that support their predetermined vote in favor of restrictions and ignore and/or denigrate the facts showing they are full of crap. And as you probably know, the democratic controlled Legislature in California and will pass laws, such as the CCW on campus ban, without any facts whatsoever of any issues with licensed carriers on school campuses.

Because this case is similar to Duncan v Becerra, the plaintiffs may submit a motion to reassign the case to Benitez. However, the current judge will have to approve it.

The court will hold plaintiff's request for injunctive relief and strike down the penal code definition of an AW that holds (capacity to accept) more than 10 rounds - thereby allowing plaintiffs use of their LCM in their non-AWs.

Of note is the MD case if given cert. and Duncan v. Bec. case...

What are the chances of getting this to Benitez? I can't believe anyone would want to hold on to this case in the current news climate. Reading Benitez's ruling in Duncan sounded like he was itching for a 2A case and might be ready to go after assault weapons.

Ooooh, the "California Gun Rights Foundation (CGF)"...who is this new kid on the block? I wonder if they have a charismatic leader, a manager of litigation and experienced though unlicensed scholar of the law at the helm. I like how this new organization is "riffing" on the name of the old org. DONATE NOW!!!!!

Duncan is going before the Ninth which means, one way or another, it is getting vacated. They will very likely wait until after NYRPA v NY and try to exploit a loop hole in whatever language SCOTUS writes, and we’ll have to appeal Duncan to SCOTUS.

Given all that has yet to play out, this seems like not good timing to introduce this case. If it ends up in front of a judge or judges during a period of time when Duncan is vacated they get free reign to write more language lauding 10+ magazine bans and it’s an easy ruling in favor of the state that we don’t need more of.

I agree with champu. I hope they win, but I’m annoyed with both the timing and the limited scope of the suit. However, Duncan vs. Becerra had a more limited scope and Saint Benitez expanded it. Hopefully the case gets moved to his queue and he finds a way to include all “assault weapons”.

Yeah, I remember once looking at the statistics on those without health insurance here in California.

The headline was that it showed a worrisomely high number of Californians without health insurance.

I was able to drill down to the actual data on that one (it took a while) and it was classic lying with statistics.

IIRC the way they determined the percentage of uninsured people in California was:
1. Eliminate everyone who had Medicare.
2. Count as uninsured every single person who had even one day in the calendar year when they were uninsured. They may have had insurance for 364 days but if they didn't have it 365 days of that calendar year they went into the statistics as being "uninsured" for that year.

Then to calculate the number of uninsured people they took that percentage and multiplied it by the total number of people who were considered to be living in California.

So the percentage was cooked and then they put Medicare recipients back into the equation when it came time to calculate the number of uninsured.

It was blatant lying.

I do not doubt that they are playing similar games with just about everything they present to us as facts.

Reporters are generally too stupid to pick up on the lies, are part of the lies, or don't bother doing the research to discover they are lies.

Looks like they're trying to have the case moved to Judge Benitez:

Don’t know how it’s going to work because I haven’t seen high capacity fixed mags on the market the only thing that can change the ruling is if California and the federal government could agree on what makes a assault weapon a assault weapon with out using features that do not change the rate of fire

Can I get some clarification? is this going after the whole featureless, 10-round limit, enchilada, or just >10 round mags in the current regime of “must breaks down the action?”

They're attempting to address the current situation where it's currently legal to possess and use magazines > 10 rounds except in fixed magazine semi-auto firearms with features. They're trying to get rid of that exception so that the magazines may be used in those specific type of firearms.

I'm not all that impressed with Benitez. He granted the injunction on his own well researched and thought out decision. Why haven't the folks representing all of us been assertive in getting that injunction overruled?

I think you mean to say he wrote a stay of his own decision.

And the reason he did that was because if he didn't, the ninth circuit was going to write one that was guaranteed to be less favorable to gun owners. He knew that, and he acted in the favor of gun owners.

And "getting that injunction (sic) overruled" means fighting all the way to the supreme court (after what is guaranteed to be a loss in the ninth) to make Benitez's ruling final, and that effort is slogging through the courts as we type.

I'm well aware of that and if you knew anything about me you'd realize how foolish your question is.

You are correct, a terminology mistake on my part. I think he is on our side yet I find it frustrating by the slow moving process(es).

I bet that is all pretext so they can get an assault weapons case in front of Benitez. Remember, Duncan was just about old magazines losing their grandfathered status. Bentiez took that ball and ran so far as to say all magazine limits are unconstitutional. Reading that opinion suggests he isn't having any of the AW ban. I think the only questions are how far can be go with this case and will we have another freedom week? Will the 10day wait make it impossible to have another freedom week?

You could always buy a few lowers if you’re feeling adventurous.
