Notes from the Resistance
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has granted rehearing en banc in Rhode v. Bonta—a case backed by the National Rifle Association and California Rifle and Pistol Association. [More]
They figure a summoning of all the Nazgûl will overturn the panel, bolster the infringement, and give Democrats a few more years to drag things on until Republicans blow things and SCOTUS can be reformed.
Change my mind.

A three-judge panel of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has unanimously upheld an earlier preliminary injunction against a section of the California Business & Professional Code which had been used by the state to stifle gun-related advertising in Junior Sports magazine, in a case brought by the Second Amendment Foundation and others.

Now we see if the en banc court reverses that.

California law prohibiting gun shows at county fairs upheld by federal appeals court in unanimous decision [More]
Years ago, before the Great Western Gun Show was forced out of California, I recall being especially bitter over how it could attract tens of thousands of gun owners–yet a counter-protest against the Million Moms preceded by announcements and appeals throughout the “activist” network, only drew a few hundred. And out of all Los Angeles, we’d be lucky to get 50 to show up at an NRA Members’ Council meeting, and of those, maybe half a dozen– of the same people all the time– actually did any work.
Add the engineered demographic shift our “gun rights leaders” say doesn’t qualify for “single issue” consideration, and the traditional uselessness of California Republicans, and no other outcome was possible.
Appealing to the full Ninth Circuit won’t reverse things. That’s just a requisite step to denial, and then hoping the Supreme Court will hear it and that it still has a favorable majority.

Of course it’s an infringement.
Of course the Ninth Circuit knows it.
And of course they’re going to do everything in their power to stall things until Democrats get the national majority they need to remake SCOTUS and reverse Bruen.
With your money.
