Duncan v. Bonta
Petition for a writ of certiorari granted, judgment vacated, and case remanded to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit for further consideration in light of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.
Issues: (1) Whether a blanket, retrospective, and
confiscatory law prohibiting ordinary law-abiding
citizens from possessing magazines in common use
violates the Second Amendment; (2) whether a law dispossessing citizens without
compensation of property that was lawfully acquired
and long possessed without incident violates the
takings clause; and (3) whether the “two-step” approach that the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit and other lower courts apply to Second
Amendment challenges is consistent with the
Constitution and the Supreme Court’s precedent.
