I had asked about the association's case Duncan v. Bonta, which an en banc panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal recently held in favor of California's ban on magazines containing more than 10 bullets.

"Get cert" means "certiorari," in which at least four justices of the U.S. Supreme Court agree to hear a case.

In August 2020, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit had held against the restrictive state laws, from 2000, 2013 and 2016. The panel held the limit violated the "strict scrutiny" of any gun law mandated by the U.S. Supreme Court's 2008 Heller decision, which upheld the Second Amendment's "right to keep and bear arms" was not just for militias, but for persons.

That decision by the panel then was appealed by Attorney General Rob Bonta to the en banc panel of 11 judges. Travis said the vote to uphold the ban was 7-4. All seven of those on the Ninth Circuit voting for the law were appointed by Democratic presidents, and all four voting to uphold the Second Amendment were appointed by Republicans.
