SIGNIFICANT 2A RULING FROM THE NINTH CIRCUIT

By Bob Walsh


In this Sept. 18, 2014, file photo, Dennis Riordan, left, attorney for defendant Barry Bonds, argues before an 11-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.


The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has just announced that the constitution does not permit the removal of Second Amendment rights simply because a person is a convicted felon.  They had no problem with with firearms restrictions leveled against persons with histories of violence.

There are still several 2A cases pending in the Ninth Circuit including Duncan v Becerra / Bonta (so-called high capacity magazine bans), the CA "assault weapons" ban Miller v Becerra / Bonta and the Ammo sales laws Rhode v Becerra / Bonta as well as the "sensitive places" list for CCW in May v Bonta.  These are all waiting actions in the Ninth District, some of which are being deliberately sat upon pending action from SCOTUS on the New York assault weapons ban.  

If SCOTUS hears the New York case of Antonyuk v Negrelli and rules in favor of lawful gun owners the whole house of cards might tumble, at least until the Commies figure out some other roadblock to throw up in front of us.
