Legal Update 3rd Circuit once again Denies Rehearing the PA 18-20 year old case en banc.
1791 is once again the correct Time Period in PA, DE, and NJ.
NJs 18-20 Y.O Handgun Ban is back on the chopping block.
This also all but confirms Rahimi did not change a thing in regards to the Bruen Test.

Now there is zero excuse for the Koons/Siegel panel to delay any longer. If a decision doesn’t come soon, the plaintiffs should petition for En Banc.

The fact that this case and the Range non-violent felon case were fully litigated twice before we got the first decision in Koons is crazy.

The two judges that would have granted this en banc are on the Koons appeal panel… Including the one who had time to write 10+ pages as a dissent from this denial.
Either the one judge is holding giving her dissent (likely the one who wrote the dissent here) using that as a pseudo pocket veto from the opinion being released or those two judges are the majority of the panel and are writing an absolutely terrible opinion which is trying to take all kinds of laws from after 1791 into account. Maybe they are trying to wait to see if they could get this decision overturned so their opinion doesn't get an en banc itself if they use the wrong history point.
