Duncan v Bonta: second trip to the 9th Circus

[7.62mm_fmj]

I wonder if they won't take Snope , then I'm not sure why they would take Duncan.

Duncan is final. Maybe they will take it and knock out mag bans before tackling the scary-looking rifle bans "in the next term or two".

Snope was final also. I think that's why Duncan is getting delayed because they want to extend the stay as long as possible before cert is denied.

Does anyone know the deadline for when SCOTUS will issue or deny certiorari for Duncan? I thought it is imminent, like this month?

they haven't even request cert yet. When they request cert SCOTUS could ask for briefs which may take a couple months. So August maybe.

Thanks for the update. From all of the chatter I get from Chuck and CRPA, they made it sound like request for cert had already been filed. So it all just drags on and on.

Duncan is unique in that it's a categorical arms ban. You can't buy it and your can't posses it.

From CRPA yesterday:

CRPA’s Duncan filing in the Supreme Court just got slightly longer. At our request, the Court granted a 30-day extension on the deadline to file our petition for a writ of certiorari until August 18.

The delay is essential. Pro-2A groups and government agencies nationwide are intensely interested in the case and willing to support it. CRPA’s lawyers are working with the Second Amendment Law Center and others to coordinate an overwhelming campaign of support from all the pro-2A advocacy groups, multiple state attorneys general, and even the Trump administration.

The more groups and governments that support CRPA’s request that the Supreme Court take the case, the more likely the Court will take it. But we need that additional time to lock in these supporters, and they need the time to prepare their own legal “amicus” briefs supporting our request.

"This case represents the next great hope for clarifying the Bruen test and protecting our Second Amendment rights. So all eyes are on it," CRPA President Chuck Michel explains. “This is a great opportunity to galvanize that attention into a powerful coalition behind a well-reasoned case that allows the Supreme Court to stop the games that biased lower courts are playing while they misapply the Bruen methodology."

These 30 days will pass quickly, and our work won’t stop in the meantime! We still need your help spreading the word and sending us your stories. We want to share as many real-life impacts as possible as this journey continues!

They are trying to coordinate an Amici group to join the certiorari request to SCOTUS. But, the amici have only 7 days after the filing of the cert with SCOTUS to provide their brief. This extension is meant to provide time to get the coalition together and to allow the amici’s to write their briefs.

As a reminder to those who are tuned in and aware of whats happening, when was the last time you donated to CRPA? I just sent them a few hundred bucks today, my fourth time I've donated to them this year. They are getting tangible results and working hard and I show my appreciation by giving them money to continue the fight.
I donate to FPC, SAF, GOA, NRA but CRPA seems to be the ones making things happen in California. If you have not already, DONATE!

You know, I just had a thought on this. California is trying to argue that a magazine is an accessory and therefore not subject to 2A protections. Doesn’t the California roster require a magazine disconnect be designed in the pistol to be sold in California? So without the Magazine the gun can’t function. Am I just late to the party? Has this been discussed? I know we are hopefully heading to the Supreme Court but still.
