Update on the Rhode v Becerra hearing (S.D. CA, 2016 ammo laws): "[Judge Benitez] was asking very good questions of the state about why the second amendment right is not treated the same as the other rights by the state." (1/2)

"It’s looking pretty darn good from my perspective. The state didn’t have any good answers." (2/2)

More reactions from people at the hearing: "Short version is our side believes there are too many rejections in the system (10,000+) in July with only 106 of those actually being prohibited persons. Something like 18% rejections in July." (1/8)

"The state is claiming those 10k+ were simple mistakes that can easily be fixed...Our side said fixing 10k+ mistakes when the government is involved is never an easy fix and it still takes hours to days to resolve. This is putting an undo burden on law abiding citizens." (2/8)

"In the end the judge put his ruling on hold for 30 to 60 days so the state can produce a list of all 10k+ denials and why each was denied . He is having a hard time excepting you can be denied and not know why or how to fix it right away." (3/8)

"It appears he's looking to see if the system is fixable , broken or just not well designed." (4/8)

"Right at the beginning the state conceded if you were from out of state visiting for hunting or what ever you can just have a friend who is a CA resident buy you some ammo or you can give that friend the money to buy you ammo and that was all legal..." (5/8)

"...Which the judge just shook his head in disbelief because the state just said it's OK to do straw purchases in the state of CA." (6/8)

"Our guy did some good work in there. The first part of the hearing was looking really good for us. The judge was asking the state some real tough questions that they did not have great answers for. The state did come around later with some good counter punches after lunch."(7/8)

"Our guy did some good work in there. We talked with him at lunch and after and he seemed optimistic and thinks the judge is leaning our way but believes the judge wants to be clear the system is not working before making his ruling." (8/8)
