After years of uncertainty for pro-Second Amendment cases before en banc panels in the Ninth Circuit, Rhode v. Bonta now heads into oral argument on March 25 in Pasadena before what may be the most favorable panel composition we could hope for.

In a special edition of California Rifle & Pistol Association TV released this afternoon, Chuck Michel, President and General Counsel of California Rifle & Pistol Association, breaks down the panel’s makeup, explains how it could influence the outcome, and discusses the extraordinary next step that may be considered if the case results in a favorable ruling.

Next month marks eight years since the filing of Rhode v. Bonta, the landmark challenge to California’s restrictive ammunition purchase laws. At issue is a regulatory scheme that has functioned as a de facto barrier to lawful ammunition purchases for ordinary gun owners across the state.

A favorable decision would be a major victory for Second Amendment rights in California and reaffirm that the right to keep and bear arms necessarily includes the ability to acquire ammunition.

Be sure to tune in to CRPA TV on March 25 as coverage continues live from the courthouse in Pasadena.
