The Benson v US opinion for anyone interested: https://www.dccourts.gov/sites/default/files/2026-03/Benson%20v%20US%20et%20al%2023-CV-0541%20FINAL.pdf |

Quoted: Was it a panel or en banc decision? If en banc then we have our first full blown circuit split. A circuit split almost guarantees that the CA and/or IL bans will be heard at SCOTUS. I don't think SCOTUS wants just a mag ban case. Um, no. This was not a circuit court case. This was the DC equivalent of a state supreme court case

Okay, not as good news then. There won't be a federal circuit split. That means SCOTUS can refuse to hear the case and there won't be anything that is particularly helpful to the other federal cases. My guess is DC will not appeal in order to limit the damage to just D.C. |

Quoted: I think this was the en banc. Only place to go from here is SCOTUS. Doesn’t this mean now there are district court conflicts?  Quoted: Quoted: In before the en banc or whatever panel of liberal judges overrides it. I think this was the en banc. Only place to go from here is SCOTUS. Doesn’t this mean now there are district court conflicts? It was 3 judge panel. So DC could request rehearing en banc, or appeal to SCOTUS. |

Quoted: They have a CT AWB and mag ban case on the same conference list as the CA and IL cases..... Viramontes is on its 7th relist at SCOTUS. It is the cook county ban. Viramontes is not a good case because it lacks record. Barnett or Duncan is what SCOTUS wants and I'm pretty sure they want Barnett most of all. IL's ban is the biggest fattest tuna of them all. Mag bans, virtual ban on all semi auto long guns, threaded barrel ban, registration, equal protection violations, 5th and 9th amendment violations, and it is all tied into the bullshit FOID system. Also, in direct violation of Bruen, the 7th circuit created the military test that stated any gun used by the military is not protected by the second amendment so they don't even need to apply the Bruen standard. |

Quoted: Imagine the day comes where “standard capacity” mags are legal in DC but illegal in Virginia. In upside down world that we live in now it wouldn’t surprise me.
