IMO, the odds of them coming up with an argument that a mag ban is constitutional that follows the rules laid down in NYSPRA are slim. If they try it and lose in the Supreme Court, the new SCOTUS decision would apply to the entire country.

I'm sure that the en banc panel would rather eat broken glass than declare the mag bans unconstitutional, but there is a strategic advantage to it; the ruling would only apply to the states in the Ninth circuit, which would include WA and CA. This would delay nationwide coverage of the ruling, during which they would hope for some seismic change in the composition of the court.

Wrong the rulings will effects state laws nation wide.

Negative. Ninth Circuit rulings are only binding precedent in the states within the Ninth Circuit. They are only persuasive authority otherwise.

Negative... They were remanded based on First Circuit Precedent and therefore incorporated on all 50 states.
Ok, Sitka, could you explain what "First Circuit Precedent" is and how it would make a Ninth Circuit ruling binding on all 50 states?
As explained to me, SCOTUS remanded a Ninth Circuit ruling specifically citing a First Circuit Decision. Doing so proves the precedent applies beyond the First.

PRECEDENT of the First does NOT apply beyond the First.

Precedent of the First does NOT apply to the SCOTUS, BUT.....

If the Supreme Court Cites the First it supports the decision of the First, and if they make it a decision/Opinion of the Supreme Court it then DOES apply to all..... Not as an Opinion of the First, but that of the SCOTUS...
