9th Circuit grants en banc reconsideration in magazine ban strike-down

Not too surprising. As Don Kilmer has remarked, the 9th ought to adopt a Circuit Rule that any panel opinion striking down a law on 2A grounds will automatically be set for en banc reconsideration. It's what the court does, anyway, so why not save people the trouble of filing a motion?
It'd be interesting to do some calculations, given how rarely the 9th grants en banc, so see what percentage of en-banc cases are composed of pro-2A rulings.

Hilarious, "pro-2A" and "9th Circuit" in the same sentence! Know any other good ones?
Maybe "selfless" and "politician"?
hey Biden won we can get back to normal now
The very idea is anathema to the 9th Circuit. It would speed up the process. The 9th wants to delay as long as possible. I am going to be so happy when that bill finally comes due.
