LA, Ventura, attempts to close gun stores during pandemic ruled unconstitutional
K Frame:
This is good to see, especially out of the 9th circuit, but it was only a 3-judge panel, not the full court.
Interesting how bike shops were ruled to be essential businesses under the closure orders, but gun shops weren't.

Brad Johnson:
YES!
Maybe this one will make it to SCOTUS and they can have a clean ruling on 2A constitutionality in the context of personal rights.

Reason.com posted that the lead judge on the panel issued his own sarcastic "alternate" dissent explaining why the full 9-member panel will overrule their decision after the inevitable appeal.
K Frame:
I have no doubt that the full court will overturn the decision, but this is one that I really hope goes up to Dianah and the Supremes.

Now tally up how long this ruling took to obtain, the monetary costs, and all the unconstitutional stuff they did anyways in the intervening time.
This looks like a win when it is really a loss for us. This was the equivalent to a military raid. Go in, do damage, and leave, never having the expectation of holding the ground. Y'all were raided by enemy politicians on the legal battleground and this ruling just signals the end to this particular offensive operation.
