The full panel of the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has refused to review a lower court’s ruling that California’s one gun per month purchase limit violates the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment. The mandate made final the June decision against the California law.

Last June, a three-judge panel ruled that the state failed to prove that the law met the standard set in the June 2022 Supreme Court decision in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen.
